The full story

A small weather forecaster built from an ATtiny85 and a spare BMP180 sensor. It uses the Zambretti algorithm but only tracks pressure changes, so the maker says it will not be accurate in some conditions. A button wakes the display to save the coin cell, and altitude is entered in 100 ft steps.

It was built with help from Claude, and the maker still wants to test it and learn more about how the algorithm works.

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).
