description

Build complete, production-ready Arduino projects (environmental monitors, robot controllers, IoT devices, automation systems). Assembles multi-component systems combining sensors, actuators, communication protocols, state machines, data logging, and power management. Supports Arduino UNO, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico with board-specific optimizations. Use this skill when users request complete Arduino applications, not just code snippets.

Arduino Project Builder

Assemble complete, working Arduino projects from requirements. This skill combines multiple patterns (sensors, actuators, state machines, logging, communication) into cohesive systems.

Quick Start

List available project types:

uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --list

Create a complete project:

uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --type environmental --board esp32 --name "WeatherStation"
uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --type robot --board uno --output ./my-robot

Interactive mode:

uv run --no-project scripts/scaffold_project.py --interactive

High-frequency sampling, SD card logging, real-time visualization

Project Assembly Workflow

• Requirements Gathering - Analyze user request and gather project specifications
• Architecture Design - Design component connections, data flow, and state machines
• Code Assembly - Combine patterns and customize for user hardware
• Testing & Validation - Verify compilation, memory usage, and functionality
• Documentation - Create wiring diagrams, usage instructions, and troubleshooting guides

Quality Standards & Rules

• Quality Standards - Hardware abstraction, non-blocking code, error handling, and memory safety requirements
• Integration Checklist - Pre-delivery verification for sensor validation, timing, and reliability
• Board Considerations - UNO, ESP32, and RP2040 specific optimizations and constraints

Project Output Template

• Output Template - Standardized format for delivering complete Arduino projects
