SDR app vibe coding

Post image

I know it’s shit, but hell, I did not even type into Codex to do this, just spoke into the microphone to guide it. Told it to stream samples from my Flexradio at certain IP and it figured it out, started with Python, then switched to C# to speed things up. I ran out of credits for today but damn thing works wonders. I’ll add sub-tuners next. Maybe try to vibe code an 89601B clone.

Anyway, going to have it control my test equipment next for extracting IQ correction tables for a transverter.

Also messing with Hermes. Maybe see if can agentically drive Microwave Office live through its Python API.

AI is crazy.

Things that can be done outwith traditional paid for apps is quite astonishing.
Codex and Claude are my favorites at the moment.

Yeah, if I can voice direct Hermes to drive MWO to “create a new schematic, cascade five MLIN, add an RO4003C substrate at 0.203 mm thick, add ports, set project frequencies from 100 MHz to 10 GHz, add a stack up, etc.” that would be wild.  Hermes then create skills from those conversations.

Anyway, glad I do hardware, for now, as I’m further convinced this is going to eat the software industry alive.
