The AI brought my old album art display back to life

His old Tuneshine display for album art sat unused because it kept losing its connection and depended on a cloud service. The AI identified the display, ran pin tests, and wrote new firmware, and now a small program on his NAS shows album art or a world clock on it.

How it works

  1. The AI identifies the old Tuneshine display
  2. It runs pin tests on it
  3. It writes new firmware
  4. A small program on his NAS now displays album art or a world clock on the display

Why it’s worth knowing

The AI worked on real hardware, not just code on a screen. It tested the pins of a dead display and wrote firmware that put the display back in daily use.
