The AI designed my circuit board, and the assembled board just worked

He got the AI to design a PCB with hundreds of components, including an STM32 chip the AI also wrote the code for. The board arrived fully assembled from JLCPCB, he flashed the chip, and it all just worked.

How it works

  1. The AI designs a PCB with hundreds of components
  2. The AI writes the code for its STM32 chip
  3. The board is made and assembled by JLCPCB
  4. He flashes the chip and it works

Why it’s worth knowing

A board with hundreds of components, designed by an AI and assembled by a factory, worked the first time he flashed it.
