# Vibe-coded DJ controller, sourced by an AI agent

A short post describing an AI agent that generated a concept image for a Teenage Engineering-style mini DJ controller, sourced its parts, read datasheets, built a CAD model and ordered everything. No finished device is shown in the source.

- Category: Inspiration (concept)
- Made by: [nim](https://x.com/eminimnim) on X

## Can I build this?

- Difficulty: Intermediate
- AI-buildability: 4/5 (AI can handle sourcing, firmware, CAD and assembly instructions for a small controller, but you still have to solder or wire the parts and assemble the enclosure yourself.)
- Time: A weekend
- Cost: $40–100

## Story

The post is a short statement by nim on X. They gave an AI agent, Astra, a credit card and asked for a mini DJ controller in the style of Teenage Engineering.

According to the post, the agent generated a concept image, sourced parts, read Chinese datasheets, built a CAD model, placed the orders, and then made a Blender animation showing how to assemble the device.

The source does not show a built device, photos of hardware, or a link to the project itself, so this is a description of an agent-driven workflow rather than a finished build.
