AutoProber is the hardware hacker's flying probe automation stack for giving your agent everything it needs to go from "there's a new target on the plate" to probing individual pins in a safe way.

Flow
Tell the agent to ingest the project. Connect all the hardware. Tell the agent to confirm that all parts are functioning.
Have it run homing and then calibration. Attach the custom probe and microscope header. Tell the agent that there is a new target on the plate. It will find where the target is on the plate, then take individual frames, keeping a record of the XYZ while noting pads, pins, chips, and other interesting features.
It will stitch the frames together and annotate the map, including pins and interesting components it identified.
It will add probe targets to the web dashboard for you to approve or deny.
It will probe the approved targets and report back.
All hardware can be controlled through the web dashboard, Python scripts, or by the agent itself.
