# Chat With Arduino Use Claude or other LLMs to control your Arduino microcontroller! ## How it works [demo goes here] ## Features - Control your Arduino directly through Claude - no code writing or uploading required. Claude handles it all - You can move motors, turn on LEDs, read sensors directly via Claude - Claude can write it's own code and upload it to the microcontroller ## Installation Install the desktop-based LLM app. I'll show how to use [Claude Desktop][1], but you can also use `ollama` paired with `oterm` for fully local tool-use. 1. Install Claude Desktop either from [the website][1] or via `brew install --cask claude` 2. Install [`uv`][2]: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` 3. Tell Claude how to use Chat With Arduino: ``` echo '{ "mcpServers": { "chat-with-arduino": { "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/uvx", "args": [ "beyarkay/chat-with-arduino" ] } } }' > ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json ``` Now open `Claude Desktop`, and you should see a small hammer icon on the bottom right of the chat window: ![A small hammer icon circled in red][media/hammer.png] You are now good to go! Claude is smart enough to figure out what commands need to be called to do what you want it to. ## Usage TODO ## Roadmap - Auto-install arduino-cli - Support for ESP32 [1]: https://claude.ai/download [2]: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/ [3]: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user#2-add-the-filesystem-mcp-server
