The full story

The channel had previously built a starfield animation for an ESP32 OLED display with the LVGL graphics library. This time Claude was asked to recreate it, with one rule: the code would only change if Claude suggested the fix.

After several rounds of debugging against the real display, the animation ran. The video ends by comparing it with the hand-written original.

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.
