Story

This tutorial shows you how to set up OpenClaw on the Arduino UNO Q Linux side and connect it to Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Slack. Just type "turn the LED on" or "what's the MCU status?" and your hardware responds — powered by an AI model of your choice.

What you'll learn:

Install OpenClaw on Arduino UNO Q (Debian/Linux side)
Create a custom Arduino skill for OpenClaw
Write the MCU Bridge sketch
Control hardware with natural language from any messaging app
