AI Summary

A new project called AutoProber has been created to automate hardware probing tasks using a combination of common materials and technology. It allows users to control hardware through a web dashboard or Python scripts, emphasizing safety and proper operation protocols.

AutoProber is designed for hardware hacking, enabling automated probing of individual pins on devices.
The system can be controlled via a web dashboard, Python scripts, or directly by the agent, and includes a self-contained source-available release candidate.
Safety protocols are outlined in the documentation, and users are advised to read the safety and operations guidelines before use.
The project includes various components such as a Python package for CNC control, a web dashboard, and CAD files for custom toolheads.
The project is licensed under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0, allowing noncommercial use, modification, and sharing, while commercial use requires a separate license.
Users are cautioned to only use the tool on authorized equipment and targets.
