The full story

Inside ProtoFlow Studio, Claude designed a four-layer drone flight controller around an STM32F405, with an ICM-42688-P motion sensor, a BMP390 barometer, 16 MB of flight-log flash, a 2-6S LiPo regulator and USB-C. It took 79 minutes from prompt to board: 82 parts, every net routed and no KiCad design-rule errors.

The board hasn't been manufactured or tested. The hands-on clip in the video is AI-generated; the layout and render are the real design.

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
