🛠️ AI scientist builds an open-source Codex Micro from scratch for $40
Summary
An AI agent named Marvin built an open-source Codex Micro macropad for $40 from scratch by treating electrical engineering as a research problem. The resulting device features 13 assignable keys, individual LEDs, a rotary encoder, a joystick, and a touch disc.
Why it’s interesting
An AI agent successfully handled complex electrical engineering tasks, technical document synthesis, and iterative routing constraints to build a working hardware device.
