Summary
The article describes an experimental approach to hardware development using Claude Code combined with SPICE simulation and oscilloscope verification. The author found that traditional natural language prompting for circuit design was challenging for complex circuits, but discovered that Claude Code excels when given immediate feedback through access to simulation tools and measurement equipment. The demo showcases a workflow integrating LeCroy oscilloscope control, SPICE simulation, and Claude Code for iterative hardware development.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledI found it somewhat tricky to express what I want to build in plain English. It worked fine for trivial circuits but became difficult for more complex designs.
I also realized that Claude Code really shines when it can get immediate feedback.
So I tried a different approach: give Claude access to my oscilloscope and a SPICE simulation.
