Impressive and useful educational tool
From 4 comments
My goodness -- this is impressive. I've just started dabbling in software development, and I can only imagine the time it must have taken to write this. A real labor of 'hard…
anonymouse008 on HNWow. This is amazing! I'm building this using real breadboards and am at the part where I'm wiring up the LEDs to the 6522. While I find the act of stripping wires deeply…
localhost on HNThis is the best example of what "Show HN" is for!
deepsun on HNThis looks both impressive and very useful.

Step-through of assembly while running is great
From 1 comment
This is brilliant. Bookmarked for when I have time to play with it properly. I particularly love being able to step through the assembly code whilst it's running.

Requires a recent Firefox or Chromium-based browser; browser detection fails for some users

Start/rewind button controls are unintuitive
From 3 comments
Oh thanks! Doesn't seem intuitive a skip back icon/button means start.
jcun4128 on HNRewind is not an intuitive way to start the simulation! (Also that was NOT a dumb question)
djmips on HNNice work! Hope you can clean up the UI (not use rewind). Otherwise I really like it so far.

Virtual PCB and more components like ESP32
From 1 comment
Great work! This is interesting, but perhaps even more useful might be a virtual PCB so that one could irritate on the design in-browser and then just get the PCB made with a…

Standalone app instead of browser
From 1 comment
Am not very fan of running my things with a web browser... But virtual hardware is a nice way to avoid pollution... Good job :) a standalone app maybe?

Questions
What language and frameworks were used
From 3 comments
Wow. Amazing work. What is this written in? Would love to check out the code.
lxe on HNTejotron, how did you build this? Is it Rust compiled to WebAssembly? The code editor is quite well-made. Is it completely hand-rolled? Curious to hear more!
jasim on HNOT, but I'd be curious to know what kind of frameworks are used to make this site.

Tinkercad

Check out Tinkercad. I don't think the program simulator in it is as cool or as in-depth, but you can program a virtual Arduino with it and hook up wires to a breadboard along…
