5 solenoid boards in 44 minutes: AI-assisted hardware development
debreuil · x · 2026-08-26
Debreuil shared a case of AI-assisted hardware development. Instead of just using boards for testing, he needed five solenoid boards with MOSFETs and diodes. The process took only 44 minutes, during which he spent most of the time fixing a bicycle tire, demonstrating the efficiency gains AI brings to hardware engineering.
