What was done
An individual reports using Claude to reverse engineer or source open-source repositories to create custom applications for Sony and DJI cameras, as well as to develop control protocols for home treadmills, smart TVs, and other consumer hardware.
The author reports using Claude to facilitate custom integrations for various consumer devices. For Sony cameras and DJI Osmo Action hardware, the author states that Claude either reverse engineered the official applications or identified relevant open-source repositories to build minimal replacements. These efforts resulted in the ability to download RAW files from a Sony a6400. Additionally, the author utilized Claude to interact with a home treadmill via its Bluetooth protocol, which the author describes as completely open. Other reported projects include cleaning up smart TV software, creating custom APKs for service communication, and enabling remote shutter functionality for a Garmin watch. The author notes that for the camera applications, Claude's contribution involved either reverse engineering or finding existing open-source alternatives.
