Claude + Codex has raised my Arduino, MCU, hardware etc game 10 fold. You can ask the tools to open a serial port, log check points and read from the serial port to make sure they really are not making mistakes.

Edit: Write the code and log check points, upload the code and monitor the port to check their work. I ask them to log to a file that I can tail and monitor if they're going haywire. I also ask them to multiplex the serial port (can't open the same serial port twice), one for itself, and one for me, it's master, to monitor and also send my own commands. Sweet life.
