- boot_images manifest: bump arm64 rootfs (gpiozero/colorzero baked in,
hostname applied at boot, reworded MOTD)
- RaspberryPi3Bridge: onBooted shell-ready detector + sendAndWaitForPrompt
flow control (resets on disconnect)
- RaspberryPiWorkspace: distinct Booting overlay + piBooted-driven status,
inline SVG icons replacing emoji glyphs
- SerialMonitor: strip CSI/DSR escapes so the dumb console no longer shows
a literal [6n next to the prompt
- VirtualFileSystem: upload auto-starts the Pi and waits for the shell, then
flow-controls each command (no more dropped lines on large files)
- i18n: bootingTitle/bootingNote + reworded offlineNote2 across 9 locales
Sweep all off-brand blues (#007acc logo-blue, #0e639c, #3b82f6) and the neon
cyan family (#4fc3f7, #00b8d4, #00e5ff, rgba 0,184,212 / 0,122,204) across the
editor, simulator, examples gallery and pages to var(--color-action-primary).
The Code/Both/Circuit toggle, board chips, library manager, modals etc. now
match the Libraries / +Add buttons. Also keep the editor Libraries label
visible in the default split (lower the container-query threshold).
Unify the editor toolbar and landing page on the single #0071e3 accent
(token --color-action-primary). Replace the fluorescent cyan/green outline
treatment (Libraries pill, overflow icons, compile/run/stop, feature tiles,
pricing/licensing badges, classroom banner) with solid fills following the
+Add button. Green/red kept solid and semantic-only (run/success, stop/error).
recordUpdateWire was used by the wire colour palette and the right-click menu but
never destructured from the store, so every colour-swatch click threw
'recordUpdateWire is not defined' and did nothing. tsc would have caught this, but
build:docker skips type-checking, and the only prior caller (the touch-only palette)
was never exercised. Bind it like the other record* actions. Together with the
applyNow fix this makes wire colour changes from the UI actually work.
recordUpdateWire pushed its command with { applyNow: false }, so it recorded the
change for undo but never executed it. Its only callers (the wire colour palette
and the new right-click menu) pass the new colour and expect it applied — neither
pre-applies via the raw updateWire mutator. Net result: changing a wire colour
from the UI did nothing (only the 0-9/c/l/m/p/y keyboard shortcut, which calls
updateWire directly, worked). Drop applyNow:false so it applies like every other
record* command (recordRemoveWire etc.). Adds an undo/redo regression test.
Changing a wire's color on desktop was keyboard-only (select wire + 0-9/c/l/m/p/y)
with no visible control — the floating color palette (SelectionActionBar) only
rendered on touch devices, so desktop users had no way to discover it. Now:
- the wire SelectionActionBar (top-center, with the color palette) also shows on
desktop when a wire is selected and the sim is stopped (it is pinned top-center
so it never covers pins); component/board bars stay touch-only.
- right-clicking a wire opens a context menu with the color swatches + delete.
Keyboard shortcuts still work. Mirrors the existing board context-menu pattern.
SSD1306Core only handled horizontal/vertical addressing (0x20/0x21/0x22) and
defaulted memMode to horizontal. Page-mode drivers (Tiny4kOLED on ATtiny85,
U8g2 page buffer, classic SSD1306 libs) position the cursor with the single-byte
commands 0xB0-0xB7 (page) and 0x00-0x0F / 0x10-0x1F (column nibbles) and rely on
the SSD1306 power-on default of PAGE addressing — they never send 0x20. velxio
ignored those cursor commands and advanced in horizontal mode, so every setCursor
was a no-op and the hatching/border/text piled onto wrong rows -> garbled display.
Fix: default memMode=2 (datasheet power-on) and handle the page/column-set
commands. Adafruit_SSD1306 still works (it sends 0x20,0x00 + 0x21/0x22 explicitly).
Verified: decoded the real ATTinyCore Tiny4kOLED I2C stream renders a clean
border + '128x64'. Adds a page-addressing render test.
The ATtiny85 has no hardware TWI; TinyWireM/Tiny4kOLED drive I2C through the USI
peripheral (SDA=PB0, SCL=PB2). avr8js ships AVRUSI but velxio never instantiated
it, so the I2C bus had no master on the ATtiny85 and devices (e.g. SSD1306 OLED)
got no data — the display stayed blank (and wokwi-ssd1306 threw putImageData with
an empty framebuffer). New UsiI2cBridge instantiates AVRUSI and sniffs the SDA/SCL
lines, replaying START/STOP + 8-bit bytes onto the shared I2C bus as
start/connectToSlave/writeByte/stop (the same calls AVRTWI makes for the Uno).
Validated against real ATTinyCore Tiny4kOLED firmware: decodes addr 0x3C + SSD1306
init/data stream. Firmware tolerates NACK so the sniffer is passive.
arduinoPinToName() had no ATtiny85 case, so pin 1 reverse-mapped to "1"
instead of "PB1" (the wire/netlist name). The MCU-edge listener was never
attached (name not in pinsInCircuit) and the SPICE V-source was never altered
on digitalWrite, so a blink LED's branch current stayed at its HIGH value —
the LED latched ON and never turned off (and analogWrite duty changes never
re-solved). Map attiny85 pin N -> "PBN", mirroring pinNameToArduinoPin.
AVRSimulator used wrong ATtiny85 Timer0 data-space addresses: OCR0A 0x56
(=PINB), OCR0B 0x5c (=EECR), TCCR0A 0x4f (=TCNT1). analogWrite() writes
OCR0B at data 0x48, so pollPwmRegisters() read the wrong register and PWM
duty was never seen — attiny85-pwm-fade showed no fade. Corrected both
PWM_PINS_TINY85 and attiny85Timer0Config to TCCR0A=0x4A/OCR0A=0x49/OCR0B=0x48
(verified against the ATTinyCore analogWrite disassembly). delay()/millis
(overflow-based) was unaffected. Tests updated off the old 0x5c/0x56.
The live solver only re-solved on component/wire/board changes, so a runtime
burnout (which changes burntComponents, not components) wouldn't rebuild the
netlist — the burnt part stayed in the circuit until something else changed.
Trigger a re-solve on burntComponents change too. The monitor skips already-
burnt parts, so this converges (one extra solve).
- The live solver now excludes runtime-destroyed components from the netlist,
so a burnt part actually goes OPEN: its current stops and anything it fed
loses power (cascading failure), the way real hardware behaves once a part
burns out. Filter is in CircuitSimulationService.runSolve (no-op when nothing
is burnt).
- The LED's burnout now also marks it in the shared burntComponents set, so a
burnt LED gets the same charred + smoke-badge visual (and is opened in the
solve) as a resistor / capacitor, on top of going dark.
Generalizes the LED's burnout to passive parts via a centralized monitor that
watches the live electrical solve. When a part is stressed past its rating for
a sustained moment it's marked "destroyed": the canvas renders it charred with a
smoke badge and a fault is logged to the output console. Clears on Reset.
Follows the Fritzing-simulator precedent (smoke-on-component) wrapped in a
first-order thermal delay so a brief inrush spike doesn't destroy a part — only
sustained overload (or a catastrophic >=3x overload, instant) does.
- runtimeBurnout.ts: pure stress (resistor power, cap voltage / reverse) + a
thermal-delay burn decision, plus a monitor subscribed to the electrical +
simulator stores. Resistor burns past 2x rated (the verifier already warns at
1x for intentional teaching over-power); a cap bursts over its voltage rating
or on reverse polarity.
- useSimulatorStore: burntComponents set + mark/clear actions; cleared on
Reset / restartParts.
- DynamicComponent + SimulatorCanvas.css: charred filter + smoke badge.
Tests: thermal-delay decision (instant / sustained / spike / cooldown) + stress
computation (resistor power, cap over-voltage, reverse, unwired -> null).
- Power short (blocking error): a wire joining a VCC-type pin directly to a
GND-type pin shorts the supply to ground. The current-based short-circuit
rule only inspects battery/signal-generator/power-supply sources, so it
misses a board-rail-to-GND short with no such source -> name it structurally.
- Shorted-out part (warning): a 2-terminal part with both terminals on the same
node has no effect on the circuit.
Both graph-based, run before the solve. Zero false positives across the 69
gallery examples; gallery pre-flight tests still pass (no spurious blocking).
First slice of the connection ("malas conexiones") checks, graph-based and run
before the solve so they report even on circuits too incomplete to solve:
- Missing power: a rated peripheral (sensor/display) wired into the circuit but
missing its VCC or GND connection -> warning. Boards are excluded (they live
in input.boards and self-power).
- Dangling 2-terminal part: a resistor / LED / capacitor / diode / inductor
connected on only one side (the other terminal floating) -> warning.
Both non-blocking. Verified zero false positives across all 69 gallery
examples. Tests: dangling resistor warns, fully-wired doesn't, module missing
GND warns.
Extends the over-voltage rule to the two cases the previous slice deferred:
- Boards (ESP32 / Pico / Arduino / ...): a board's supply pins all collapse to
the self-driven vcc_rail net, so an external source on them makes the .op
singular rather than readable. Added a graph-based check (runs before the
solve): if a power source is wired to a board supply pin and its nominal
voltage exceeds that pin's rating, warn. Threaded boardKind into
BoardForSpice so the verifier can look up the board rating.
- Electrolytic capacitors: new `voltage` rating property (select, default 25V,
on capacitor-electrolytic + cap-elec-* presets, via component-overrides +
regenerated metadata). The verifier reads the DC voltage across the +/- pins
and warns on over-voltage (vent/burst) and on reverse polarity (a polarized
cap wired backwards). Defaults to 25V when the property is unset.
Tests: 9V battery -> ESP32 VIN warns, 1.5V doesn't; 24V across a 16V cap warns,
5V across a 25V cap doesn't; reverse-biased cap warns. All real-ngspice.
handleCompile() wiped all logs at the start, including the 'Circuit check'
group the pre-flight verifier had just logged (e.g. an over-voltage warning).
A Run auto-compiles right after verification, so the warning vanished. Preserve
circuit-check entries on compile, same as the boardless path already did.
Adds a non-blocking circuit-verifier rule: a component whose supply pin sees
more than its datasheet absolute-maximum voltage warns ("X V on the VIN pin --
above its Y V maximum; not emulated accurately"). This is the "fed too much
voltage" mistake the operator asked for (a 3.3-5V module wired to a 9V battery).
- New componentRatings.ts: per-PIN abs-max table (SSD1306/ILI9341 displays,
DHT/BMP280/HC-SR04/MPU6050 sensors, NeoPixel, servo). Per-pin thresholds so a
3V3 pin (3.6V) and a VIN pin (6V) are judged separately. Unknown parts are
simply not checked; an unwired or floating supply pin is skipped.
- circuitVerifier reads each rated part's supply-vs-ground voltage from the
solved nets (via pinNetMap) and warns when it exceeds the rating.
- VCC/VDD/3V3/5V pins ride the shared vcc_rail net (NetlistBuilder convention);
VIN is a normal net. Both handled.
- Tests: 9V on a module VIN warns; 5V on VIN does not; a 3.3V pin on a 5V rail
warns.
Boards (esp32/pico/arduino) carry ratings in the table but aren't checked yet
-- BoardForSpice doesn't thread its boardKind; follow-up.
Clicking Run runs a pre-flight circuit-verification SPICE solve before
compiling. On a cold ngspice worker that solve takes a second or two, but the
Run button kept showing the play icon and stayed enabled, so it looked dead
and got clicked repeatedly -- each click stacking another verification (the
reported 6x [handleRun] click).
- Add a `verifying` state: the Run button now shows the same spinner as the
Compile button and is disabled while the pre-flight solve runs.
- Synchronous re-entrancy guard (runInFlightRef) ignores re-clicks while a
verification is already in flight.
The runtime burnout / pre-flight messages used an inline `setMessage` toast
that rendered as a bar near the Run/Stop buttons and overlapped them. Route
all circuit findings into the compile output console instead — one unified,
red/orange diagnostics log next to the compiler output (Proteus-style):
- New "Circuit check" console group (CIRCUIT_CHECK_TARGET). checkOrBlock logs
every error (red) / warning (orange) there and opens the console; the
blocking modal is kept for the explicit Run-anyway / Cancel decision.
- Runtime `velxio-circuit-fault` events (LED burnout) log to the same group
instead of the toast; no auto-open (the continuous solver can fault on load).
- Warnings-only no longer pop a toast — the console entry is the record.
- The run-path clears preserve circuit-check entries so findings survive a
"Run anyway" auto-compile.
The Run (and Run All) buttons were wired `onClick={handleRun}`, so React
passed the click event as the first argument. handleRun(skipVerify=false)
then treated the truthy event as skipVerify=true and skipped checkOrBlock
entirely -- the pre-flight circuit verifier never ran on a button click.
This is the real reason a 9V battery wired straight to an LED ran with no
warning even though the verifier exists and is correct (project 2840fd12).
- onClick={() => handleRun()} and onClick={() => handleRunAll()} so
skipVerify stays at its false default.
- Give handleRunAll the same checkOrBlock pre-flight gate handleRun has.
Verification failing silently in production is otherwise hard to spot — the
rules read 0 A when branch currents are missing. Log the errors/warnings,
whether a solve landed, and which branch/node vectors came back.
The pre-flight circuit verifier reads branch currents via runNetlist ->
readAllCurrentVectors() (ngSpice_AllVecs enumeration). The production
Web-Worker ngspice WASM build does not surface voltage-source #branch
vectors through that enumeration for an .op plot, so branchCurrents came
back empty and every current rule (short-circuit, LED over-current) read
?? 0 -> no fault. The live solver avoided this by requesting each current
explicitly by name; the Node test build enumerates them, so the gap was
invisible to the suite. Net effect: a 9V battery wired straight to an LED
ran with no warning (reported on project 2840fd12).
- runNetlist: request every V_* source branch current explicitly by name
and merge with the enumeration, so source/LED currents are always present
regardless of the worker WASM's AllVecs behaviour.
- circuitVerifier: non-finite source/LED current -> blocking unstable-solve
fault ("could not solve a stable current - likely a short or a part with
no current limit, e.g. an LED with no series resistor").
- LED runtime (BasicParts): burn out on a non-finite current instead of
falling through to the digital fallback and glowing; raise burnout
threshold 20mA -> 100mA so high-power/RGB channels are not falsely
destroyed; clear the burnt latch on Reset (resetBoard bumps hexEpoch).
Tests: real-data repro, mocked non-finite verifier test, runtime
non-finite / high-power / latch-recovery tests.
All three bugs are rotated components whose pin geometry is computed in a
path that ignores the rotation, so pins/wire-starts land tens of pixels off
the visual pin tips. The live rotate action already recalculates correctly;
these are the paths that didn't.
#231 (context-menu 'Tap a pin to wire'): both onPinSelect handlers in
SimulatorCanvas computed the wire start as getBoundingClientRect().left +
pin.x — adding the UNROTATED pin offset to the ROTATED bounding-box corner.
On a 90-deg HC-SR04 that put the start ~70-100px off (measured). Replaced
with calculatePinPosition(id, x+6, y+6, rotation), the same rotation-aware
helper wires and the pin overlay use.
#232 (rotate -> delete -> undo): recordRemoveComponent's undo restored the
component + wires but never recalculated wire endpoints, so a rotated part's
wires kept the unrotated coords captured at delete time. Added a
requestAnimationFrame updateWirePositions(id) after restore.
#230 + #232 (pin boxes wrong after import / undo / load, 'fixes if rotated
again'): PinOverlay captured the wrapper's layout box (the rotation pivot)
once at mount. On import/undo/load the component mounts already-rotated and
its wokwi-element may not be sized on the mount tick, baking a wrong pivot
that only refreshed when rotation changed. PinOverlay now re-measures after
layout (rAF) and whenever it is about to become visible (showPins dep).
AVRSimulator never instantiated avr8js's AVREEPROM peripheral, so any
EEPROM.read/write/update hung the sketch: the Arduino EEPROM library spins
on `while (EECR & (1<<EEPE))` waiting for the write-complete bit to clear,
and with no peripheral driving EECR that bit never cleared (issue #203 —
EEPROM.update(0,123) + EEPROM.read(0) hangs instead of printing 123).
Wire AVREEPROM to the CPU in both loadHex() and reset() via a new
attachEeprom() helper. The EEPROMMemoryBackend is created once per
simulator instance and reused across firmware reloads and resets, so a
value written in one run is still readable on the next boot — matching
real hardware, where re-flashing leaves EEPROM intact. Sizes per variant
(Uno 1024 B, Mega2560 4096 B, ATtiny85 512 B); ATtiny85 gets its own
register map (EECR 0x3C / EEDR 0x3D / EEARL 0x3E / EEARH 0x3F) since
avr8js's default eepromConfig targets the ATmega328P.
Adds eeprom.test.ts: drives the EEPROM register protocol against the
production AVRSimulator (loadHex + step), asserting a byte round-trips,
the EEPE poll terminates (no hang), and contents survive a reset.
The NTC breakout's SPICE topology was inverted relative to the example
sketch's decode formula (rNtc = R_PULL * v / (5 - v)), which assumes a 10k
pull-up from VCC to OUT and the NTC from OUT to GND. The mapper had the NTC
on top (VCC->OUT) and the pull-down on the bottom, so the recovered
temperature ran backwards: dragging the slider to 100C made the sketch
print -25C. Swap the two resistors so V_OUT = 5 * Rntc / (Rntc + Rpull),
matching the sketch and the hand-built reference netlist in
spice-avr-mixed.test.ts (T=0 -> ADC 789, T=25 -> 511, T=50 -> 270).
Also replace the SensorParts linear approximation (2.5 - (t-25)*0.02) with
the same beta-model divider so the non-SPICE ADC injection decodes back to
the slider value, and drop the dead onInput path that treated the element's
value as a raw ADC count.
Reset now restores interactive sensors (temperature/lux/gas sliders) to
their configured defaults: resetBoard re-dispatches each sensor's default
into the running sim and bumps sensorResetNonce so the open
SensorControlPanel remounts and the slider snaps back. Previously a restart
left the NTC frozen at the last dragged temperature.
Updated the examples netlist snapshot for the swapped NTC cards.
The star banner used a single localStorage flag (velxio_star_prompted)
set identically whether the user clicked through to the repo or just
closed it, so once dismissed it never showed again and clickers and
closers were indistinguishable.
Now track three flags:
velxio_star_prompted - dismissed the first ask
velxio_star_prompted_v2 - dismissed the follow-up (stop forever)
velxio_star_clicked - clicked through to the repo (stop forever)
Anyone who dismissed the first ask without clicking through gets ONE
follow-up (round 2) with a stronger message; clicking the repo link at
any time opts them out permanently. Capped at two asks total.
Adds starBanner.title2/body2 copy in all 9 locales.
Commit 9360f95 deleted lib/proWifiGate.ts but left useSimulatorStore importing
it (the store edits weren't staged), so a clean checkout of master failed to
build (import of a deleted module). velxio.dev was unaffected — deploy.sh builds
from the working tree, which had the removal applied. Commit the removal so HEAD
is consistent.
The proWifiGate seam blocked a free user from running ANY Pico W WiFi sketch.
The product model changed: LOCAL WiFi (the chip associating to the simulator's
virtual AP) is now FREE — only REAL internet (the backend bridge) and the IoT
gateway are paid, gated inside the pro overlay's Cyw43PioPeripheral / backend.
So a free user must be allowed to run WiFi sketches. Remove the gate seam and
its two store call sites. The board-kind firmware variant + the run-time
peripheral re-attach (which fixed the plain-firmware import-network crash) stay.
Two robustness fixes for the paid-WiFi open-core split:
1. A pi-pico-w board now boots the RPI_PICO_W firmware variant (which has the
`network` module) based on its BOARD KIND, not on whether the WiFi
peripheral happens to be attached. Previously the variant was
`pioPeripheral ? 'pico-w' : 'pico'`, so any moment the peripheral was
absent (see #2) booted the plain Pico firmware and a Pico W sketch crashed
with "ImportError: no module named 'network'". Store boardKind in
attachPioPeripheral and pick the variant from it. (OSS: 'pico-w' isn't
registered, so firmwareConfig falls back to 'pico' — a self-hosted Pico W
has no WiFi engine anyway.)
2. Re-attach the PIO peripheral in loadMicroPythonProgram before loading
firmware. An example deep-link adds the board during render, which races the
pro overlay's async mountPro that installs the CYW43 factory — so the
board-add attach returned null and a PAID user's Pico W booted plain
firmware too. attachPioPeripheral is idempotent; by run time the factory is
installed, so a paid user gets the W peripheral and real WiFi.
Pico W WiFi is a paid overlay feature. A free/web user running a Pico W sketch
that uses WiFi had no peripheral attached -> the simulator picked the plain Pico
firmware (no `network` module) -> the run crashed on `import network` with a
raw Python traceback (on a public example page, no less).
Add lib/proWifiGate.ts (mirrors proBoardGate): a stable doorbell the overlay
fills in. useSimulatorStore gates both loadMicroPythonProgram (before loading
firmware) and startBoard (run backstop for example/loaded boards): if the gate
blocks, fire the upgrade prompt and skip the run. Non-WiFi Pico W sketches still
run for free. No-op in OSS (default 'allow' -> a Pico W runs as a plain Pico).
The Pico W WiFi showcase examples are a paid-overlay feature now (the WiFi
engine moved to the overlay). Read them through a build-time `@pro` seam so the
SSR prerender + gallery + sitemap include them when built with the overlay, and
OSS gets an empty stub.
- data/examples.ts: import { proExamples } from '@pro/data/proExamples' (static,
build-time) instead of the local examples-picow-wifi.ts; delete that file.
- src/__pro_stub__/data/proExamples.ts: OSS no-op (empty list) for the @pro alias.
- vitest.config.ts: mirror the @pro alias (stub by default / overlay when
VITE_PRO_BUILD) so tests loading examples.ts resolve it.
- scripts/generate-sitemap.mjs: also parse <PRO_OVERLAY_PATH>/data/proExamples.ts
when building with the overlay (the script reads example IDs from source text,
so it can't follow the alias).
- Tests: drop the picow-wifi import/usage from the 5 OSS example tests (they
validate the OSS set now); prune the 4 obsolete picow netlist snapshots. The
overlay's proExamples get their own coverage in pro/.../__tests__/.
The stored snapshot predated the relay-LED netlist emission (current-sense
V-source + LED diode model), so examples-netlist-snapshot failed on a clean
checkout regardless of any source change. Regenerate it to match the current
NetlistBuilder output. Unblocks the deploy test gate.
Move the CYW43439 (Pico W) WiFi emulation out of the open-source tree so it
can ship as a paid feature in a private overlay. OSS keeps a plain Pico W
(no WiFi); the overlay registers the cyw43 protocol + backend network stack
at runtime via generic seams.
Frontend:
- Add simulation/PioPeripheral.ts: a generic "PIO bus peripheral" seam
(feedWord / inDiscardableWriteData / resetFraming / hostWakeLevel /
onHostWake / onSimulationStart). No factory is installed in OSS, so
createPioPeripheral() returns null and a Pico W simulates as a plain Pico.
- RP2040Simulator: keep the fragile PIO-FIFO plumbing (it must re-run after
loadMicroPython swaps the chip) but drive it through PioPeripheral instead
of an inlined cyw43 import (attachCyw43 -> attachPioPeripheral, etc.).
- useSimulatorStore: generic attach/detach + setBoardWifiStatus; drop the
cyw43 bridge map.
- MicroPythonLoader: add registerFirmwareVariant() so an overlay can add the
RPI_PICO_W build; remove the OSS pico-w config + bundled .uf2.
- Delete simulation/cyw43/ (moved to the overlay).
Backend:
- core/hooks.py: add generic register_ws_sim_handler / dispatch_ws_sim_message
and register_gateway_proxy / dispatch_gateway_proxy seams.
- simulation.py: route start_picow / stop_picow / picow_packet_out through the
ws_sim_handler hook (the overlay handles + gates them).
- iot_gateway.py: resolve the Pico W gateway through the gateway_proxy hook.
- Delete services/picow_net/ + picow_net_bridge.py (moved to the overlay).
Tests: move the cyw43/picow suites to the overlay; update RP2040Simulator
mock stubs to attachPioPeripheral.
Static/docs/example routes are served as <route>/index.html and nginx
301-redirects the slash-less form to add the trailing slash. The sitemap
generator, the prerender canonical/og:url, and the client useSEO canonical
all emitted the slash-LESS form, so every sitemap URL was fetched as a
redirect (filed under 'Page with redirect' in Search Console) and each
canonical pointed at a redirecting URL.
Align all three to the trailing-slash form so sitemap URL == canonical ==
served URL == 200, with no redirect hop.
- generate-sitemap.mjs: append '/' to every <loc> (root stays '/')
- prerender-seo.mjs: withSlash() on canonical + og:url (routes + examples)
- useSEO.ts: withTrailingSlash() on canonical + og:url (covers dynamic
project pages too)
The canvas had two independent window keydown listeners. The wire handler
removed the selected wire and returned, but that return cannot stop the
separate component/board handler, which fell into 'else if (activeBoardId)'
and popped the board-removal confirmation. activeBoardId is not a visual
selection -- it is just the board whose code is open in the editor, so it is
effectively always set. Pressing Delete to remove a wire (or after deleting a
component) therefore always asked to remove the board.
Remove the keyboard board-delete branch entirely: Delete/Backspace now only
removes the selected component. Board removal stays on its deliberate paths
(right-click Remove board, touch pin-picker delete). Also add the text-field
guard (input/textarea/select/contenteditable) to the wire handler so Backspace
while typing in the AI chat no longer deletes a selected wire.
Every non-English page fell back to English when loaded directly (deep link,
refresh, SEO-indexed URL). Two causes:
1. index.ts seeded lng with the URL locale at init, but only the English
bundle is inlined. LocaleSync only fetches a locale bundle when
i18n.language !== target, which was already false on a direct non-default
load, so the bundle was never loaded. Init at DEFAULT_LOCALE and let
LocaleSync drive the locale from the URL (a real changeLanguage that
re-renders).
2. The region-coded locales (zh-cn, pt-br) never resolved their own bundle:
i18next's default code formatting rewrote them to zh-CN / pt-BR, which
failed the lowercase supportedLngs check and were dropped from the resolve
hierarchy. Add lowerCaseLng: true.
Verified in a production build: /zh-cn/* and /pt-br/* render translated;
toResolveHierarchy now returns ['zh-cn','en'] / ['pt-br','en'].
Opening the gateway in a new tab backgrounds the emulation tab and pauses
its rAF, freezing the chip — the page then 502s. The in-tab iframe is the
only way the Pico W device page stays reachable, so the panel no longer
offers an open-in-tab affordance (Reload + Close only).
Confirmed the RP2040 GPIO -> PinManager -> wokwi-led path is fully wired
(identical to the AVR path): a wokwi-led wired anode->GP2, cathode->GND
lights when MicroPython drives GP2 HIGH. The board's componentId is its
boardType ('pi-pico-w') since loadExample's addBoard gives the first
board of a kind id == kind.
Add a red LED on GP2 to picow-wifi-relay-web-server and flip the relay
logic to active-high (ON => GP2 HIGH => LED lit) so the toggle is visible
on the canvas, not just in the device panel.
The first iframe panel was a full-screen modal with a backdrop: it
covered the canvas and blocked the editor, so you couldn't watch the
board react or keep clicking buttons/wiring while it was open, and it
couldn't be moved.
Now it's a small floating panel docked top-right, draggable by its title
bar, resizable, with NO backdrop — the canvas and editor stay fully
interactive underneath.
Also: the relay and async-led device pages now show a big colored ON/OFF
indicator (these are web-server demos; the GP2/onboard LED isn't drawn on
the canvas, so the panel is where you see the state flip).
The Pico W emulation runs in THIS browser tab via requestAnimationFrame.
Opening the gateway with target=_blank / window.open backgrounds the
emulation tab; the browser then pauses its rAF, the simulated chip
freezes, and the gateway can no longer reach the server on it — the
request times out (502) and toggles do nothing.
Render the served page in a same-tab iframe panel (openDeviceGateway) for
the Pico W so the emulation stays in the foreground and keeps answering.
The ESP32 is unchanged (its server runs in QEMU on the backend, immune to
tab visibility), so it keeps opening in a new tab.
Also: the async-led page now shows the LED state (the board's onboard LED
isn't drawn on the canvas) so the toggle has visible feedback.
The served page loads under /api/gateway/<id>/, so absolute fetches like
fetch('/on') hit velxio.dev/on instead of the chip — the LED/relay/servo
controls did nothing. Use relative paths (fetch('on')) so they resolve
under the gateway. The relay example now has real ON/OFF buttons and
wraps its blocking accept loop in try/except so a dropped browser
connection can't kill it.
e2e now fires two sequential requests (first with a browser-sized header)
against a non-resilient blocking server and asserts both are served.
- SerialMonitor linkifies http://10.13.37.x (the Pico W subnet) the same
way it already does http://192.168.4.x for the ESP32, turning the
sketch's printed URL into an 'Open IoT Gateway' link.
- SimulatorCanvas shows the clickable WiFi badge for the Pico W too
(normalizing its 'started' status, which carries the fixed IP, to
got_ip so it reuses the ESP32 badge styling + launcher).
- async-led and servo-web examples print a clickable http://<ip>/ line
so the gateway link appears (relay-web-server already did).
Gated e2e (CYW43_GATEWAY_E2E=1) drives the real emulator + a running
backend and asserts the served page comes back through /api/gateway.
quotaModal.* (10), editor.share.updateFailed + visibility labels/hints (7),
editor.toolbar.exportBom + exportScreenshot (2) were present in en but absent
in de/fr/it/ja/ru. es/pt-br/zh-cn were already complete. Translated via
DeepSeek; interpolation tokens and JSON shape preserved, existing values
untouched.
Wi-Fi sketches on the emulated Pico W associate via the chip's built-in
virtual net (DHCP/ARP answered locally), but outbound traffic had no
route, so DNS/MQTT/HTTP failed with OSError -2.
Wire the emulator's outbound DATA path to the backend picow_net bridge:
- Cyw43Emulator forwards every outbound Ethernet frame EXCEPT DHCP/ARP
(still answered locally) to firePacketOut -> the WS bridge, which NATs
DNS/TCP/UDP to the real internet and injects replies back.
- The virtual net stays ON unconditionally and shares the backend's
subnet, gateway and gateway MAC (10.13.37.0/24, gw 10.13.37.1). Nothing
is mutually exclusive, so an absent or flaky bridge can never break the
Wi-Fi association -- it just falls back to no-internet, as before.
- useSimulatorStore opens the bridge (cyw43.connect()) for Wi-Fi sketches.
Validated end to end against a running backend: WiFi connect + DHCP, DNS
resolves example.com, TCP connect + HTTP GET returns 200 OK. Gated e2e in
picow-bridge-e2e.investigate.test.ts (CYW43_BRIDGE_E2E=1).
The CYW43439 F2 (radio frame) channel is word-oriented: the real chip
always drives frames padded up to a 4-byte boundary and the host reads
that word-aligned length, byte-swapping every 32-bit word on the way in.
encodeSdpcm built buffers of exactly 12 + payload bytes, so any frame
whose total length was not a multiple of 4 ended with a partial word.
The emulator's F2 read path (encodeFrameWords) byte-swaps whole words and
copies the leftover tail raw; the host's symmetric per-word swap then
mangles that final word, corrupting the last 1-3 bytes of the frame.
This was invisible for DHCP/ARP (UDP checksum 0 -> lwIP skips the check,
and the damage lands in trailing option padding) but silently dropped
every DNS answer and TCP segment (real checksum -> lwIP discards the
frame), so getaddrinfo()/connect() retried forever.
Pad the backing buffer to a 4-byte boundary while keeping the size header
at the true length, so the driver still parses exactly the real frame and
ignores the pad. Matches real hardware framing.
loadUserFiles passed content.length (UTF-16 code units) as the byte count
to lfs_write_file, but cwrap marshals the content to the heap as UTF-8. A
file with multi-byte chars (e.g. an em-dash in a comment) is then written
short by the multi-byte overhead, truncating the tail. The async-LED Wi-Fi
example (2 em-dashes) lost its last 4 bytes, turning the final
'asyncio.run(main())' into 'asyncio.run(main' -> SyntaxError at EOF. Use
the UTF-8 byte length so the whole file lands; ASCII files are unaffected.
For the first deploy, keep the chip emulator's built-in virtual DHCP/ARP
net ON and leave the backend internet bridge dormant (not validated end
to end yet). A Pico W board now associates and gets a link-local IP
locally (isconnected True); outbound internet (MQTT/HTTP) has no route
until the picow_net bridge is wired. Revert is a one-liner in the store
(cyw43.wifiEnabled = hasWifi; cyw43.connect()) + setVirtualNet(null).
Headless test that drives the REAL RP2040Simulator (attachCyw43 +
installCyw43PioHooks + lockstep PIO stepping in runFrameForTime), boots
the Pico W firmware, injects a WiFi-connect snippet over the raw REPL, and
asserts isconnected(). Result:
PYBOOT
ACTIVE False (this fw's active() getter reports link status)
CONN_OK 192.168.4.2 (DHCP-leased IP, isconnected() == True)
MAINPY_DONE
Reaches link-up in ~31s wall — the production lockstep PIO stepping is
faster than the harness's setTimeout-cranked PIO.
Also fixes a real production bug: the RP2040 logger was
ConsoleLogger(LogLevel.Error) which THROWS on rp2040js unaligned-read
warnings — lwIP reads the IPv4 header at ethernet offset 14 on every
received packet, so WiFi would have crashed on the first DHCP reply.
Now constructed with throwOnError=false.
Gated behind CYW43_PROD_HARNESS=1 (boots real firmware, ~30s).
Port the gSPI wiring proven in the boot harness into the real simulator
so WiFi works in the browser, not just the test:
- Non-dropping TX FIFO (head-pointer queue) in installCyw43PioHooks, so
the 260-word F2 IOCTL writes aren't truncated, with the firmware/
backplane bulk-write fast-path (inDiscardableWriteData) keeping the
~224 KB download cheap. Fully restorable on detach.
- Drive WL_HOST_WAKE (GPIO24) from emu.onHostWake, and re-sync the pin
level after installCyw43PioHooks (loadMicroPython resets GPIO while the
chip's queue persists).
- With a backend bridge attached, disable the built-in DHCP/ARP net so
the bridge owns the network.
Production steps the PIO in lockstep with the CPU (pioStepAccum), so no
PIO-rate crank is needed (that was harness-only). The emulator-side fixes
(host-wake, F2 byte order, join events, BDC header, virtual DHCP/ARP) are
already shared. Not yet exercised in a browser e2e — the headless harness
is the verification today.
The Pico W now connects end to end with NO backend: status reaches
CYW43_LINK_UP (3) and network.WLAN().isconnected() returns True.
After association the STA's lwIP broadcasts DHCP DISCOVER and ARPs the
gateway over the cyw43 DATA channel. A self-contained virtual network
(new virtualNet.ts) answers them:
- DHCP DISCOVER -> OFFER, REQUEST -> ACK (Ethernet+IPv4+UDP+BOOTP, valid
IPv4 header checksum, UDP checksum 0), leasing 192.168.4.2 with gateway
192.168.4.1.
- ARP who-has the gateway -> is-at the AP MAC.
On by default (Cyw43EmulatorOptions.virtualNet); pass null when an
external packet bridge owns the network.
Also fixes injectPacket to prepend the 4-byte BDC header that chip->host
DATA frames need (same as the event-frame fix), so injected packets parse.
Boot harness now reports: STEP_CONNECT_CALLED status=3 / POLL 0 status 3
conn True / HARNESS_DONE.
Known: receiving packets triggers ~30 rp2040js unaligned-read warnings
(lwIP reads the IPv4 header at ethernet offset 14); non-fatal here, but
the production RP2040Simulator must use a non-throwing logger.
The Pico W now joins the virtual AP end to end: active(True) returns,
connect() runs the full WPA/SET_SSID sequence, and the link comes up.
Root causes fixed (each blocked the join):
- mcast_list GET returned empty, so the driver read its own request bytes
as the address count (ASCII 'mcas' ~1.9e9) and looped ~2e9 times,
hanging wifi_on. GETs now return a zero-filled buffer of the asked-for
length (count 0 / status 0), never empty.
- Async event frames lacked the 4-byte BDC header the driver expects at
SDPCM header_length, so it read the broadcast-MAC byte as data_offset
and the payload pointed out of bounds (WRONG_PAYLOAD_TYPE). Prepend BDC.
- WLC_E_LINK signalled link-up via the reason field, but the driver
checks ev->flags & 1. encodeEventFrame now takes a flags arg; LINK uses
flags=1.
- Join needs WIFI_JOIN_STATE_KEYED, which only a WLC_E_PSK_SUP(status=6)
event sets (connect(ssid, "") still configures the WPA supplicant).
Emit it on a successful join.
- Join events were raised synchronously during the SET_SSID ioctl, so the
driver processed them before cyw43_wifi_join set wifi_join_state=ACTIVE,
wiping the bits. Defer events until just after the ioctl reply.
- Event-mask stored 4 bytes misaligned vs queueEvent's read offset.
- SET/GET kind bit is 0x2 (SDPCM_SET), not 0x1.
Remaining for status UP / isconnected: DHCP (needs the packet-transport
bridge or an emulator-side DHCP responder).
Add PioBusSniffer.inDiscardableWriteData(): true while framing a large
non-F2 write (firmware/backplane bulk write the chip discards). The boot
harness drops those data words (keeping ~4 so the PIO raises TXSTALL,
which is all the driver's write path waits for) instead of bit-banging
the full ~224 KB through the PIO. F2/SDPCM IOCTL writes and every
count/command word are retained in full, so the bring-up still completes
the 23-IOCTL wifi_on sequence (F1 framing 3613 -> 97, F2 unchanged).
Also adds IPSR + PC-histogram sampling: confirmed the post-mcast_list
stall is thread-mode (no GPIO IRQ storm) inside MicroPython's host-side
cyw43_cb_tcpip_init (lwIP), above the chip emulation.
Unblocks the full wifi_on IOCTL sequence in the boot harness (clm_load
through the 23-IOCTL bring-up, no crash):
- Drive WL_HOST_WAKE (GPIO24, active-high): the driver gates poll_device
on this pin until its first packet (had_successful_packet), so without
it the first IOCTL response is never read. Emulator now exposes
onHostWake(level) and toggles it with the inbound-frame queue.
- Encode F2/SDPCM frame reads per 32-bit word (encodeFrameWords), same
as register reads: the DMA-in sets channel bswap=true, so an un-encoded
frame landed byte-reversed -> header_length read back as garbage and
the driver dereferenced ioctl_header at an unaligned address (crash).
Guarded to boot mode pass-through (no F2 traffic there; keeps unit tests).
- Fix SET/GET detection: SDPCM_SET is bit 1 (0x2), not 0x1; echo the
kind bit in IOCTL responses.
- Add IOCTL/SDPCM debug counters + sequence log for the harness.
Harness (investigation, CYW43_HARNESS=1 only): non-dropping TX FIFO so
large F2 writes are not truncated, crank PIO steps/tick so the firmware
drains in wall-clock, GPIO24 host-wake wiring, CPU-fault + PC-histogram
+ PIO-state instrumentation.
Remaining: stall after mcast_list (#22) inside cyw43_cb_tcpip_init.
cyw43_spi_transfer calls pio_sm_restart before each transfer's count words, so
hooking restart() to reset the sniffer makes framing deterministic across the
firmware-stream fast-path (no phantom-transfer carryover). Verified: restarts
fire 3625x (once per transfer), F1 phantom count drops, and the CLM IOCTL write
now frames correctly (cmd decodes to F2, 'clmload' payload). Wired into
RP2040Simulator + the harness.
Remaining (next session): the CLM/IOCTL write doesn't complete its payload and
wifi_on still fails (active()=False) — bus_init stalls at/around clm_load with
only 2 STATUS reads and goes idle. Next: trace the CLM write's DMA/PIO drain and
the SDPCM IOCTL response path. See findings.md F-13.
debugInboundCount + STATUS-read tracking show initInbound=1, statusReads=2,
statusReadsWithPkt=2, finalInbound=1: the credit frame IS visible at both STATUS
reads (not a credit tight-loop). The driver reaches clm_load's F2-ready check
(passes) but the F2 IOCTL write never appears on the bus and bus_init returns.
Next: instrument the F2-write path. See findings.md F-13.
Pins the connect blocker: zero F2 transfers (F0=11 F1=97 F2=0), so the host
never sends an IOCTL — it stalls on SDPCM bus credits in clm_load (STATUS shows
no F2_PACKET_AVAILABLE) and times out, so wifi_on fails and active() stays
False. Next: make the credit-granting frame visible in SPI_STATUS during the
stall. See project/picow-wifi-emulation/findings.md F-13.
Brings the Pico W CYW43439 gSPI emulation from "fails at the first register
read" to "the chip boots fully and MicroPython's network.WLAN().active(True)
returns" — validated end-to-end against the real RPI_PICO_W firmware via a
headless boot harness.
What now works (Phases 1-2):
- PioBusSniffer rewritten to the real cyw43_bus_pio_spi framing
[out_bits][in_bits][cmd][write_data], skipping the two PIO loop-counter
words. Self-healing: validates count1 (= tx_length*8-1, 4-aligned, <=2052)
and skips non-conforming words — re-syncs after the extra word rp2040js
pushes on large writes AND fast-paths the ~224 KB firmware stream.
- Dual word-order regime: boot 16-bit-LE (swap16x2 / swap16) flips to 32-bit
big-endian (bswap32) at the SPI_BUS_CONTROL write. Calibrated empirically
against the firmware. Sniffer reads the mode via setModeProvider().
- Cyw43Emulator: encodeReadWord (per-regime), readBytes-sized backplane reads
with the value in the last word (response-delay pad), ALP+HT clocks and F2
always ready, AI core registers (IOCTRL/RESETCTRL), interrupt register
reports no errors, f1Mem echo store, SDPCM bus-credit granting + initial
frame.
- RP2040Simulator: serves chip responses on rxFIFO.pull (on-demand) instead of
racing the async DMA/PIO; passes readBytes through.
Not done yet (Phase 3+): connect() runs but stalls in the power-management /
save-restore phase before any F2/IOCTL traffic; packet transport (Tier 2) and
firmware-clocking perf are open. See project/picow-wifi-emulation/ for the full
research, phases, and findings.
The boot harness (picow-cyw43-boot-harness.investigate.test.ts) is gated behind
CYW43_HARNESS=1 so it stays out of the normal test run.
The RP2040 MicroPython loader always fetched the plain RPI_PICO build, which
ships no `network` module and no CYW43 WiFi driver. Every Pico W WiFi/MQTT
example therefore failed at `import network` ("no module named 'network'"),
which surfaced as a compile/run error in the editor.
- getFirmware()/loadUserFiles() are now variant-aware. pi-pico-w boards load
RPI_PICO_W-20230426-v1.20.0 (network/socket/ssl + the CYW43439 driver) and
write the LittleFS at the W board's flash offset (0x12c000, 212 blocks)
instead of the plain Pico's 0xa0000/352. The W firmware spans flash to
~0xab000 and would otherwise be clobbered by the filesystem. Each variant
gets its own IndexedDB cache key.
- The variant is selected by the presence of the already-wired CYW43 emulator
(attachCyw43 runs for pi-pico-w boards only).
- loadMicroPython swaps in a fresh RP2040 each run, so the CYW43 PIO-FIFO hooks
are re-installed on the new instance; otherwise the driver's gSPI traffic
never reaches the emulator and WiFi never comes up.
- Bundle micropython-rp2040w.uf2 as the offline fallback.
- Point the ThingsBoard example at the simulator's Velxio-GUEST network.
8 MicroPython examples that use `import network` (Blynk IoT relay, ThingsBoard
IoT, OTA update, DHT11 HTTP CSV logger, async LED control, web servo, websocket
LED, IoT relay web server) had boardType "raspberry-pi-pico". A plain Pico
(RP2040) has no WiFi and no `network` module, so they failed at runtime with
`ImportError: no module named 'network'` (the banner even shows "Raspberry Pi
Pico with RP2040"). Move them all to "pi-pico-w", which has WiFi + network.
Adds a self-contained ESP32 networking example for the /examples gallery
(addresses feature request #115). The sketch joins the emulator AP
"Velxio-GUEST", connects to a public MQTT broker (broker.hivemq.com:1883),
then publishes to its own topic and subscribes to it so each message
round-trips through the broker and toggles GPIO2 -- no external client or
local broker needed; just open the Serial Monitor.
Verified end to end in QEMU: WiFi associates (IP 192.168.4.15), DNS resolves
and outbound TCP to :1883 succeeds via slirp NAT. PubSubClient is auto-
installed via the example's `libraries` field.
Follow-up audit after the ESP32 fix: classifyPin() was run for every board
against the protocol pin labels its element actually exposes. One real gap
remained -- Arduino Mega. Its dedicated SDA/SCL pins are only labelled (not
numbered), so I2C links drawn on them came back 'digital' and never bridged.
Map every Mega function label (TX/RX, TX0-3/RX0-3, SDA/SCL) to its pin number.
Audit result for the rest (added as board-protocols-audit.test.ts):
- Arduino Uno/Nano, Pico/Pico-W, STM32 Blue Pill: already OK.
- ESP32 / ESP32-C3: fixed earlier (esp32-uart-pin-classify).
- Raspberry Pi 3/4/5: OK -- the element labels pins by physical number (1..40)
which normalize to BCM, so no function-label gap exists there.
Wiring two ESP32s TX2->RX2 (Serial2) or TX->RX for board-to-board serial
produced no data on the receiver: classifyPin() returned 'digital' for the
UART pins, so the Interconnect never installed the byte-level UART bridge.
Two causes in boardProtocols.ts normalizePinName:
- TX/RX aliases only matched boardKind === 'esp32' exactly, missing every
variant (esp32-devkit-c-v4, esp32-cam, esp32-s3), and TX2/RX2 were not
handled at all. Resolve them via startsWith('esp32') (esp32-c3 kept
separate) and map TX2/RX2 -> GPIO17/16.
- 'GPIO17'-style labels fell into the 'GP' (RP2040) branch first, where
parseInt('IO17') = NaN swallowed them to null. Exclude 'GPIO' from the
'GP' branch so the ESP32 GPIO-prefix handling runs.
Adds esp32-uart-classify.test.ts (6 cases, green).
The Discord release-notify workflow read the version from
frontend/package.json but never wrote it back, so every merge to release
announced the SAME version (the CHANGELOG ended up with two "[2.0.1]"
entries). Now, after generating the CHANGELOG and before announcing, the
workflow bumps the PATCH in frontend/package.json and commits it alongside
the CHANGELOG to release. Each merge advances the counter:
3.0.0 -> 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2 ...
Also sets the baseline to 3.0.0 so the next release is announced as v3.0.0.
To jump the major/minor, edit frontend/package.json on the release branch
(e.g. "version": "3.1.0") and the next merge continues from there.
Revert the earlier approach of widening the existing PWM-callback assertions to
accept the new timeMs arg — that masked a contract change rather than fixing it.
Instead, updatePwm now hands the optional timeMs only to listeners that declare
a 3rd parameter (cb.length >= 3) — i.e. the buzzer, which needs the precise
onset time. Plain (pin, dutyCycle) listeners, and the existing
toHaveBeenCalledWith(pin, dutyCycle) tests, see an unchanged 2-arg call, so the
original PwmCallback contract is preserved.
Add a PinManager test locking the dispatch: a 2-param listener stays 2-arg; a
3-param listener receives timeMs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The sample-accurate scheduling (06526c7) added an optional 3rd `timeMs`
argument to PwmCallback / updatePwm, which broke 9 existing strict
toHaveBeenCalledWith(pin, duty) assertions (PinManager, AVRSimulator,
mega-emulation, attiny85). Match the real signature: PinManager drives
updatePwm directly with no timeMs (assert `undefined`); the AVR OCR-poll path
computes timeMs = cpu.cycles / 16000 (assert `expect.anything()`).
Leaves one pre-existing red — component-to-spice "custom-chip missing fixture"
— which fails on master too and is unrelated to this PR.

A melody / continuous tone (consecutive tone() with no noTone() between) is
back-to-back nonzero-OCR PWM writes with no note-off, so startTone() overwrote
activeOsc without stopping the previous node — oscillators stacked and were
never stopped (reported: created 6, started 6, never stopped 6).
Add a monophonic guard at the top of startTone(): release the live note
(gain ramp + stop) before starting the new one, so a pitch change REPLACES
rather than STACKS. Extract a shared releaseActive(off) helper (also used by
stopTone). Add two melody tests: one asserts starts === stops (no orphans),
monotonic onsets and per-note pitch; one asserts a melody ending without a
trailing noTone() leaves only the final note ringing (stops === starts - 1).
The metronome path is unaffected (each click is an onset→note-off pair, so the
guard never fires there); the three existing metronome tests stay green.

The panel was styled with light-theme CSS-var fallbacks that render wrong on
the editor's dark (#2d2d2d) property dialog:
- "Add files" button used `var(--surface, #f6f6f6)` + light border, so it
rendered a washed-out light-gray box that looked broken. Restyle it as a
primary action like `.rotate-button` (solid #007acc, white text, hover lift).
- Section divider and secondary text used light fallbacks (#e2e2e2 / #777);
switch to the dialog's dark values (#444 border, #aaa text).
Cosmetic only.
The `custom-chip` SPICE mapper emits its sources from getChipDrivenPins()
(the chip's live driven output pins), so a static pin/property fixture can
never exercise it -- it always returns null. The "every mapped metadataId
has a test fixture" check flagged it as missing a fixture, failing the
suite. Exclude it via a RUNTIME_STATE_MAPPERS set; custom-chip SPICE
behaviour is covered by the chip-bus integration tests.
Pre-existing since 4cb5748 (custom-chip first-class circuit nodes).
Add a working microSD card part backed by a FAT16 image, following the
Wokwi storage model: the project's own workspace files are auto-copied
onto the card (free), and an optional "SD Card" panel uploads extra
files (gated as a paid feature by the velxio.dev overlay; OSS default
allows it).
Frontend (in-browser AVR / RP2040):
- ProtocolParts.ts: rewrite the microsd-card part from a handshake stub
into a real SD-over-SPI device (reply-first Ncr timing, SDSC byte
addressing, single/multi-block read+write, CSD/CID, full CMD set).
- utils/fatImage.ts: dependency-free FAT16 super-floppy builder (8.3 + LFN).
- utils/sdCardFiles.ts: assemble the card image from workspace files plus
uploaded files; base64 helpers.
- components/simulator/SdCardPanel.tsx + ComponentPropertyDialog: upload UI.
- DynamicComponent + useSimulatorStore: build and inject the image on run.
- lib/proSdCardGate.ts: overlay-installable gate for the upload action.
- data/examples-storage-microsd.ts: Arduino Uno + ESP32 gallery examples.
Backend (ESP32 via QEMU):
- services/esp32_sd_slave.py: synchronous SD-over-SPI slave (Python port of
the browser part) with a sparse backing store, idle-state R1 tracking and
real CRC16 on data blocks when the host enables CRC (CMD59) -- both
required by ESP-IDF's sdspi driver.
- esp32_worker.py: route SPI bytes to the slave (returns MISO synchronously)
and feed write-only bulk transfers.
- esp32_lib_manager.py + routes/simulation.py: forward the FAT image
(sd_card.image_b64) from the start config into the worker.
Tested:
- frontend: protocol-parts, fat-image, sd-card-gate and microsd-real-firmware
(real Arduino SD.h on avr8js) -- 86 passing.
- backend: test_esp32_sd_slave (10) covering the ESP-IDF init sequence and
CRC16; validated end to end by running a real SD.h sketch in libqemu-xtensa
(mount, directory listing, read and write-readback).
The RP2040 core (125 MHz Cortex-M0) is ~8x heavier to emulate than the
AVR. The run loop used a FIXED per-frame cycle budget, and arduino-pico
delay() busy-waits the timer (no WFI), so a host that cannot sustain
125M instr/s rendered a 1s blink every 4-5s (sim ran in slow motion).
- Derive the frame budget from the MEASURED wall-clock delta (mirrors
AVRSimulator) instead of assuming a perfect 60fps.
- Add IdleSpinDetector: recognise a side-effect-free busy-wait spin and
advance the clock over it (capped at the next timer alarm / scheduled
pin change) instead of executing every idle cycle - the same idea the
WFI fast-path already uses for sleep(). Conservative: a bit-bang loop,
an input-poll that just saw its pin move, or a loop that calls out are
never elided; a false positive only ever advances time up to the
wall-clock budget, never past the next event.
- Bound WFI sleeps to the wall-clock budget so they advance in real
time across frames rather than leaping ahead.
Cuts emulation work for a delay-bound sketch ~1900x (125M -> ~65k
instructions per simulated second) so it tracks wall-time even on hosts
that cannot emulate 125 MHz in real time. Public API unchanged;
step()/stepCycles() untouched.
Adds rp2040-realtime.test.ts: IdleSpinDetector unit tests plus
end-to-end scheduler tests driving a real rp2040js core through a
hand-assembled busy-wait loop (no firmware fixture needed).
(1) The explorer's per-board manifest entry is renamed velxio.json -> libraries.json
and clicking it now opens a READ-ONLY JSON view of that board's declared libraries
(board.libraries) in the editor, instead of the modal. New editor state
manifestViewBoardId: when set, CodeEditor renders a read-only Monaco showing
{libraries:[...]} live; opening/activating any real file clears it. No file is
added to the workspace, so nothing touches compile or save. Library actions are
done in the Library Manager modal (toolbar button).
(2) Drop the 'Uninstall' button for shared index/cache libraries — you can't
uninstall a copy everyone shares (content-addressed cache). Only your own custom
.zip uploads keep a 'Remove' (per-user store). Index libs: just Add to / In project.
Builds on the previous commit; reworks the buzzer audio for glitch-free,
cross-browser playback and adds a metronome quality suite.
- Per-note oscillators with short attack/release ramps, instead of one
long-lived oscillator gated by gain: a fresh fixed frequency per note and no
gain/frequency automation on a persistent node — Firefox in particular clicks
and glitches the pitch otherwise.
- Schedule onsets by their SIMULATED inter-onset spacing (exact, even) with a
light latency hold, instead of a wall-clock average. Turning a control (BPM,
K…) re-locks immediately and the rhythm stays even — no bursts, no overlaps,
no audio drifting away from the display.
- Place each note-off relative to its own onset, preserving the exact click
length from the simulation (the onset scheduler now tracks onsets only).
- Poll PWM every 256 cycles (was 64): finer than any audible pulse, lighter on
the frame loop.
- New src/__tests__/buzzer-metronome.test.ts: drives the buzzer as a metronome
against a controllable audio clock and asserts even spacing, one oscillator
per click with no overlap, correct pitch per metric level, burst absorption,
and a clean re-lock on tempo change.
All simulation-parts + metronome tests pass (57).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A PWM-driven buzzer (analogWrite / Timer tones) was chaotic and unusable as a
metronome. Causes, all on the PWM path:
1. PWM was polled once per animation frame AFTER the cycle loop, so short clicks
that started and ended within one frame were merged or lost, and onsets were
quantised to the frame.
2. The buzzer started the oscillator with `oscillator.start()` (no scheduled
time) — frame-delivery jitter and per-onset oscillator churn.
3. The digital HIGH/LOW path also fired on the ~490Hz PWM carrier edges,
injecting spurious onsets (OCR read as 0 → 20kHz squeaks).
Fix:
- AVRSimulator: poll PWM sub-frame (every 256 cycles) so no pulse is merged or
lost; pass the precise simulated time through updatePwm.
- PinManager: PwmCallback / updatePwm carry an optional timeMs (backward compat).
- Buzzer: one continuous oscillator gated by the gain node, each on/off scheduled
on the AudioContext clock. The schedule predicts the next onset at a smoothed
interval (de-jittering the simulator's bursty per-frame delivery) and holds a
small bounded latency so the click stays aligned with the on-screen playhead
(driven from the same clock) instead of drifting behind it. A `pwmActive` flag
mutes the digital path once hardware PWM drives the pin.
Result: onset jitter for a firmware metronome drops from chaotic (σ ≈ 250ms,
dropped/extra beats, unbounded audio latency) to σ ≈ 15ms at ~30ms latency —
steady and aligned with the display. All 54 simulation-parts tests pass.

Remove the 3 tabs (In project / Search / Installed). One list now: browse your
installed + custom libraries by default, search the index when you type. Each
row is state-aware:
+ Add to project — installs if needed, then declares it on the active board
In project (toggle) — click to remove from this board's manifest
Uninstall / Remove — free the cache / remove your custom upload
'Install' is folded into 'Add to project' (install-on-add) for simplicity. The
per-board manifest (board.libraries) stays the compile scope. The pro custom-zip
upload button still injects into .lib-modal-header. The in-modal velxio.json
editor tab is gone (the manifest is shown by the explorer's libraries.json file).
lcd-hello -> ['LiquidCrystal'], uno-servo -> ['Servo']. These were the only
non-ESP32 gallery examples using a USER library without a manifest; loading +
compiling them now sends the library scope (resolved from the content-addressed
cache) instead of falling back to the global scan-all. Every other non-ESP32
example is core-only (Wire/SPI are core-bundled; the RP2040 core bundles Servo,
so pico-servo needs no manifest) or already declared its libraries.
The Library Manager Installed tab + the velxio.json add-autocomplete now merge
the user's per-user custom uploads (getCustomLibraries -> GET /api/pro/libraries/
custom) with the shared global index list, so users can see and reuse their own
uploads (which live in the per-user store, not the global list). A custom lib's
button removes it via the per-user delete endpoint (not arduino-cli uninstall,
which would not find it). Degrades to [] for OSS/anon.
- compile.py: owner_id = project owner ELSE the requester (so an unsaved
compile resolves the libs the user just uploaded, which are their own);
threaded requester_id into _run_compile from both call sites.
- LibraryManagerModal: on a custom .zip upload, auto-add the lib to the active
board's velxio.json + show the Project tab, so the compile resolves it via the
owner per-user path (the upload now lands in the per-user store, not the
shared dir, so it must be declared to be found).
Moved the velxio.json entry out of a single top-level row (ambiguous about
which board it applied to) into EACH board's file group, next to that board's
sketch. Each board now shows its own velxio.json with its own declared-library
count; clicking it switches to that board and opens the Library Manager on its
list. Makes the per-board manifest model unambiguous.
Library manifests are now PER-BOARD (each board carries its own velxio.json),
so two boards in one project can use different (even conflicting) libraries
without clashing — the multi-board extension of the no-clash guarantee.
- board.libraries on BoardInstance + serialisableBoard: rides in boards_json,
so it round-trips, dirty-checks, autosaves and restores natively. This also
removes the load-restore hacks (useLibraryManifestStore + applyProjectManifest
deleted): the manifest is plain board state.
- loadProjectState now restores per-board boardOptions/spiffsFiles/libraries
(it previously dropped them).
- EditorToolbar single + compile-all send the COMPILING board's libraries.
- Backend compile.py prefers the client's per-board request.libraries; the
project-level libraries_json (now the union of all boards) is the fallback.
- buildLoadPayload migrates pre-per-board projects: seed each board with the
project union so they keep compiling scoped.
- Library Manager 'In project' tab edits the ACTIVE board's velxio.json (shows
the board name) and the add field is now an autocomplete (installed libs +
index search) so users pick from a list instead of typing names.
Deletes useLibraryManifestStore.ts + applyProjectManifest.ts.
End users can now configure a project's declared libraries (the compile scope):
- Library Manager gains an 'In project' tab = the project's velxio.json:
declared libs as removable rows, quick add-by-name, and a raw velxio.json
editor. Installing a library auto-adds it to the project. Installed-tab rows
get an 'Add to project' toggle.
- FileExplorer shows a velxio.json entry (with declared count) that opens the
Library Manager via a window event the toolbar listens for.
- applyProjectManifest(): restore a saved project's manifest into the store on
load so the editor/toolbar/Library Manager/velxio.json reflect it.
- computeProjectStateHash() includes the manifest so declaring a library marks
the project dirty and autosaves.
Note: the OSS ProjectByIdPage also calls applyProjectManifest for parity, but
velxio.dev routes the pro-overlay ProjectByIdPage (wired separately).
buildSavePayload omitted libraries_json=[] whenever the manifest store was empty
— so an autosave right after loading a project (whose manifest the store hadn't
restored) wiped the saved manifest. Now omit libraries_json entirely when the
store value is null (unknown), so the backend preserves the saved manifest. The
compiler reads it server-side regardless (get_project_libraries hook).
The inline manifest-restore in the load .then was being tree-shaken out of the
lazy ProjectByIdPage chunk (the deployed bundle had the save wiring but not the
load). Move it into buildLoadPayload, which is an exported helper (used by tests)
so its body is never dropped. Reloaded projects now re-send their manifest.
Saved projects now round-trip their declared library manifest (compile scope):
buildSavePayload includes libraries_json from useLibraryManifestStore; loading a
project restores it (and clears any stale example manifest). Existing projects
load with an empty manifest -> legacy scan-all (unchanged); new saves capture
whatever manifest is active. Pairs with the backend libraries_json column.
Activates manifest-scoped ESP-IDF resolution for the gallery. loadExample now
records the example's declared libraries in useLibraryManifestStore; EditorToolbar
passes them to compileCode, which sends them as `libraries` in the compile
request. The backend then merges exactly those libraries (P2.0 scope) instead of
picking a stray same-named lib from the shared dir.
Safe: a core-only example sends null (legacy scan-all); a stale/incomplete
manifest degrades to scan-all via the backend graceful fallback, never a wrong
build. Ignored by the backend for non-ESP32 (arduino-cli) boards. Example
manifests were completed (incl. transitive deps) in c671c9b.
Auto-completed the library manifests for the 9 ESP32-family examples that use
external libraries, so each declares its full dependency set (direct +
transitive). Found genuinely-missing deps that the previous fields omitted:
- esp32-dht22, c3-dht22: + Adafruit Unified Sensor
- esp32-mpu6050, esp32-bmp280, esp32-oled, esp32-doom: + Adafruit BusIO
- esp32cam-lcd-preview: add manifest [Adafruit GFX Library, Adafruit BusIO, Adafruit ILI9341]
Each completed manifest was validated by compiling the example against ONLY
its manifest (manifest-scoped resolution, no fallback). esp32-servo / c3-servo
were already complete. This unblocks turning on scoped resolution for the
gallery (P2.3): with complete manifests, scope picks the declared libs and
excludes strays, and the P2.3-safety fallback covers any residual gap.
