Velxio Launches Open-Source Simulator for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32
Velxio has introduced an open-source, self-hosted simulator for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi boards, allowing users to simulate these devices directly in their web browsers. Inspired by the Wokwi simulator, Velxio integrates several emulators from the Wokwi project but offers the unique capability of self-hosting. The simulator supports 19 targets across five architectures, including AVR8, Arm Cortex-M0+, RISC-V, Xtensa, and Arm Cortex-A53. Users can drag-and-drop components, write and run code in Arduino or Python, and access the serial console without needing physical hardware. Velxio also provides full QEMU emulation support for ESP32 and Raspberry Pi 3, enabling complex circuit simulations with multiple heterogeneous boards.
