Retrofitting a TV, Fill Lights, and a Camera with Codex and Claude
The author shared the process of using Codex and Claude to reverse engineer and retrofit real-world devices: first enable ADB debugging on the TV, then have the Agent disable system packages, clear boot ads, and rebuild a clean launcher, and replicate the same method on three other TVs. The team also used Claude to reverse engineer 4 fill lights and built a unified web console, and used Codex to build a multi-camera console for a Sony camera and a DJI Pocket 3 and deploy it to Feishu. The author reminds that different brands of devices expose different interfaces and permissions, and that backups should be made before modifying system software.
