Programming with the help of AI has become more fascinating with the introduction of the new language model, o1-preview. This advancement allows users to generate entire programs and learn programming through ChatGPT. The updated ChatGPT now includes a Canvas mode, a special editor designed for programming. This feature is ideal for makers who struggle with syntax in common programming languages but still want to engage in projects involving Arduino, ESP, and other microcontrollers.
The o1-preview language model and Canvas mode provide an overview of how to generate code for microcontrollers and web applications. Additionally, the AI can be used as a programming learning coach. The time investment starts from two hours, and the cost is around 20 Euros per month. To get started, a ChatGPT-Pro account is required.
There is more information available from Ákos Fodor on simulating microcontroller projects with Wokwi, and Dirk Wahl discusses the potential of AI in programming. A video titled “ChatGPT’s New Coding Mode is the Perfect Maker Tool!” further explores these capabilities. For those interested in programming with Python, there are resources on handling large DataFrames with Polars, indexing and finding documents, visualizing data with PyGWalker, and automating data workflows with Prefect.
Benno Lottenbach, in his article “ChatGPT as a Crafting Partner,” shares his experiences using ChatGPT for programming, including building a sand drawing table. He provides a detailed insight into his interactions with the AI. This article focuses on the innovations in the o1-preview language model and the Canvas mode.
