Ah, I remember when reversing hardware took weeks / months, an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, Ghidra/IDA, Wireshark, breakout boards, wireless sniffers... back in the olden days of... 2019.

if an AI could do it without an oscilloscope, probably a human could too.

It's kind of funny, but AI can also use an oscilloscope. My friend vibe coded a software synth on a Raspberry Pi Pico. When he realized his oscilloscope had a network interface, he had Claude figure out how to connect to it over the network and analyze the actual audio output.

I had claude write an mcp server to talk to my scope since most are connected over Ethernet. It was pretty fun.

Now exploit the oscilloscope to run Doom on it

Well, almost but good enough :) https://github.com/MichaelAyles/ScopeDoom
