SummaryA study examines undergraduates using public-domain LLMs to debug malfunctioning analog circuits on breadboards and PCBs through conversation. Thematic analysis of chat logs reveals multimodal usage patterns, useful debugging suggestions from LLMs, and gaps including 2D/3D image reasoning limits, unjustified confidence, and students' conceptual deficits.
Why it mattersDocuments real patterns and failure modes of learners using LLMs as debugging partners, with concrete implications for designing AI-assisted technical workflows and curriculum.
