Hot-reload Lua on a virtual ESP32 and vibe-code hardware live from Claude
genmon · x · 2026-10-09
genmon breaks down a stack that makes AI-driven hardware prototyping instant: Resident provides a code sandbox for ESP32 where you write apps in Lua, so behaviour hot-reloads with no re-compile and no flashing.
- Bench virtualizes the ESP32 itself, letting you plug in different inputs and outputs visually
- From Claude you can prompt and push new Resident apps and see results live in the browser
- Snap together a screen, a potentiometer, and an environmental sensor, and instantly vibe a reactive tamagotchi, a weather console, or a fake AC control
The author calls the instant feedback loop for hardware prototyping wild and loves it.
