i use this to teach children electronics, it's amazing, the only thing which is not idea is mobile support<p>if you're building a similar tool for browser-simulation please, pleaaaaaaase:<p>do not require me to have an account to enter to simulate, this reduces friction 100000x<p>i work with children<p>trust me

Fantastic app, it was of great help to me while figuring out the basics, I highly recommend it.<p>I just wish if people would add more comments to their code, at least those that get to be featured. Lots of beginners' time gets wasted on decrypting the logic behind blocks of code that are often very common patterns in IoT programming, and have already been explained in the documentation in the great detail. Simple one-line comment pointing what to search for in the docs would turn the code to be so much more newbie friendly.
I used this a while back to simulate a 16+ port MIDI thru device using PIO on a Raspberry Pico[1]. It worked surprisingly well with just a small amount of simulation slowdown. Theoretically it might be possible to replace a $200 Kenton Thru 25 (though only 23 max) for about $40 in hardware + whatever a case costs.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.joshka.net/pio-for-midi-with-raspberry-pi-pico/" rel="nofollow">https://www.joshka.net/pio-for-midi-with-raspberry-pi-pico/</a>
Kind of off topic, but is it possible to simulate peripherals with QEMU?<p>For example: suppose that I'm emulating some microcontroller running my firmware. On the actual board, this firmware will interact with a sensor. Is it doable to create a virtual hardware device simulating the sensor and connect its pins to my microcontroller?
This is great!<p>I usually shy away to buy such boards, as I don't have a real purpose for them, however this would be a great way to dive into coding them, without that consumist feeling for buying hardware for nothing.<p>Plus is a great away to play with hardware designs without killing the boards.
I shorted the 3.3V pin to ground on a ESP32 board, but the simulation (and the board) ran just fine. I'm a software guy, I'm not sure if that's the expected outcome.
