Day 30 of U-BOT: fable 5.1 agent wrote a WiFi/BLE joystick controller
_Stocko_ · x · 2026-09-03
A solo builder hits day 30 of building U-BOT, an outdoor utility robot, in his free time (he says he wishes he could do it full-time). Today, while at work, he told fable 5.1 the robot was safely on a "test rack" — and the agent built a WiFi/Bluetooth joystick controller for driving it around.
A nice example of the current coding-agent workflow: give clear context that it's safe to experiment, and let the agent ship a complete embedded feature hands-free.
