Hardware Discovery

1. What this skill is for

Use this skill to perform hardware discovery tasks from natural language: list connected devices, search by capability, inspect a device's details and capabilities, and check if required support packages or add-ons are installed.

This skill exposes hardware discovery functionality through MATLAB helper functions bundled in scripts/. Always use the provided helpers — do not attempt to replicate their behavior or call any internal MATLAB functions directly.

When To Use

Activate this skill when the user asks about:

• What hardware is connected or available (e.g., "what's plugged in?", "what devices do I have?")
• Which devices support a given capability (e.g., "what supports CAN?", "which devices can do analog input?")
• Details or capabilities of a specific device (e.g., "tell me about the Arduino Due", "what can the NI USB-6211 do?")
• Whether required support packages or add-ons for a device are installed
• What needs to be installed to use a specific device
