Agent Automates PCB Pin Probing
tom_doerr · x · 2026-07-16
The author showcases an **agent-driven PCB pin probing automation** system integrated with a microscope for operation. The key takeaway here isn't the model itself, but rather: - Agents are now being applied to real-world hardware inspection workflows; - The tasks involve microscopic observation and pin probing, indicating that automation has entered the physical world; - This functions more as an engineering demo/proof-of-concept rather than just a software-based coding assistant.
