Image: reddit.com · Video still: I built a hardware project for my kids entirely in Claude Code, with zero prior wiring experience. Two bugs it caught still surprise me.

Worked Proof shown

A toy cash register that prints real receipts for six pretend-play games

A parent with no wiring experience used Claude Code to build a till from a Raspberry Pi Zero, six arcade buttons and a thermal printer that prints a random receipt for each game.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
