Fun idea! The real time interaction with GPIO from the CLI is the most interesting thing here, I could see a general framework for that being useful for early-stage prototyping with new hardware/sensors if you included things like I2C, SPI, and UART.

&gt;&#x2F;&#x2F; The descriptive files (i.e., README and QUICKSTART) were written by Claude AI (with minor tweaks). Why? Because if I had done it myself, it would have ended up as a few lines of incoherent gibberish that wouldn&#x27;t tell you anything.&#x2F;&#x2F;<p>I would have enjoyed your lines of gibberish far more than the slop that Claude spit out.<p>But it&#x27;s a cool project, thank you for sharing.

Very neat, but why Arduino Uno? It&#x27;s well past its prime.
