The author tried Gemini 4 Argon with a Thermal Master P3 thermal camera, instructing it to build a custom live-streaming app with OTA update functionality over an unsecured network — it one-shotted the task.
An accompanying spacesheep page documents the high-level steps the agent took to reverse-engineer the device's protocol, showcasing a full pipeline from hardware protocol reverse engineering to a working application — a striking demo of agentic coding capability.
