I have used AI to build software without knowing how to code. But I had no idea how to start with hardware, what that meant, or why I would want to. Then I saw the Axiometa post about being able to vibecode hardware, and thought what the heck, I can try that.
In this video, I unbox the Axiometa Genesis Mini Starter Kit, fumble my way through using it, and use plain English in Axiometa Studio to generate and "flash" my first project to it. I made a very simple, but working reaction-time game.
Anyone who has worked with microcontrollers will think this video is beyond simple, but for people like me, this is how AI makes you feel like a wizard. And I think that is the key, as AI tools grow, and we can do more and more, you still have to know what you can do, you have to know what questions to ask, and you find that out by experimenting.
You can just do things....
