You don't learn how to program SPI from reading documentation about an LCD controller. You need a lot more context and understand how to string together basic operations, which are quite often not detailed in parts documentation. I think that you have a serious misunderstanding of the capabilities of LLMs - they cannot reason out relationships among documents that easily. They cannot even tell you what they don't know to finish a given task (and I'm not just talking one-shot here, agent frameworks suffer from the same problem).

you keep making these claims that it's harder than it appears but have yet to back them up. I'd be more than happy to update my understanding of the capabilities of these things if you can actually show me limitations of the technology. until then, just saying SPI is harder than that, when I've written the code for a microcontroller to interface to an LCD, at the advent of Google, (so before stack overflow and ChatGPT), and so I deeply know the frustrations of board bring up, doesn't convince me that it's it's my understanding that's wrong, but yours.

    Oh you're that rcarmo? So cool! so help me understand, because that's what we're all here for, curiosity, with a bit more specificity, why SPI to an a LCD controller for this as-of-yet unspecified microcontroller is harder for an LLM than it seems? I buy that it is, but you've yet to give any sort of evidence and appeal to authority is a logic fallacy.

      These are an example of some of the docs your LLM would need to work from.
