What people liked

  • Useful for classrooms and testing, and integrates with the Arduino IDE.

    • Great work! And fun timing - this similar project https://github.com/jandelgado/fastled-wasm popped up on Reddit today. It simulates the FastLED library running on an arduino.…

    • Wow, really great stuff! I wrote something similar for my high school a few years ago (back when I was less experienced with programming -- ack!). I used a library called JSCPP…

    • This is incredibly cool. One place I could see it being super useful is in making it easier to write regression tests for Arduino code. I'm one of the developers of…

    • This looks like a very useful project! It might also be very interesting for testing input-/output-heay code without needing to get a board, very nice.

Objections

  • Virtual simulation may miss the hands-on physical learning of electronics.

    • This is certainly a neat project, and an accomplishment in its own right. > The Arduino IDE usually requires a physical board, which can be cumbersome. But this is the part that…

Requests

  • Show pin HIGH/LOW states and a Serial console.

    From 1 comment
    • Yes, but it doesn't need to be that involved. Showing me which pins are HIGH/LOW and having a Serial console output would probably be enough.

    • Tinkercad has a free (as in beer) Arduino simulator tool with a decent number of peripherals. There is a drag and drop interface to make your breadboard and you can even…

    • Wasmino is an Arduino core fully compatible with the Arduino IDE. It allows you to compile your Arduino sketch to WebAssembly and run it in a browser, all using the Arduino IDE.…
