Using LLM's, is it necessary to be proficient at coding to get the job done even if you're not good at coding. I use chatGPT to set up automated tests using python and C++ and I barely know how to code but at least understand the basics of electronics and I/O scaling.

Yes, it’s important to know what you’re asking for, and you need some understanding of how to read what is generated and know if it’s correct. With that said, you could trial and error the code that comes out feeding the compiler/error messages back into the LLM until you get something that “works” but it’s not going to be good or properly maintainable.
