Introducing Wokwi

Thanks to Linux Format magazine and Les Pounder for pointing me in the direction of Wokwi. 

Wokwi is an online platform designed for simulating electronics and microcontroller projects. It allows users to build, program, and test circuits virtually, making it particularly useful for prototyping and learning without the need for physical components. The platform supports a wide range of microcontrollers - Arduino, ESP32, STM32 and Raspberry Pi Pico.

Key features of Wokwi include:

  1. Circuit Simulation: Users can create circuits by dragging and dropping components like LEDs, resistors, sensors, and microcontrollers into the workspace.
  2. Code Editor: Wokwi integrates a code editor where users can write programs (often in C++ for Arduino) to control the workspace circuit.
  3. Real-Time Debugging: The platform allows real-time interaction with the circuit, making it possible to test and debug programs on the fly.
  4. Pre-built Examples: Wokwi offers a library of pre-built projects and examples to help users get started quickly.
  5. Collaboration and Sharing: Users can share their projects with others, enabling collaboration or showcasing their work.
