verifyCircuitFromStore() builds the worst-case snapshot (every wired
digital pin driven HIGH) and solves it — extracted verbatim from
EditorToolbar's runVerification so programmatic runners (editor
extensions, agents) can gate their own run paths on the same rules.
No behavior change for the Run button.
Creating a wire with a direct pin-to-pin click (no user waypoints) now
routes around other components' bounding boxes instead of crossing
them. Routing happens exactly once, at creation: the routed corners are
stored as ordinary waypoints, so every later manual edit stays where
the user puts it — never re-routed.
Router (utils/wireAutoRoute.ts):
- tries the preview elbow first (clear -> keep existing behavior and
the WYSIWYG shape), then the opposite elbow, then A* over the
compressed grid spanned by pin coordinates and obstacle edges
inflated by an 8 px clearance, with a 40 px per-bend penalty so
straighter routes win
- obstacles are component boxes only (never boards — pins sit on both
board edges and detouring around a board produces absurd routes),
excluding the wire's own endpoint components, measured from the
rendered DOM; rects containing an endpoint are dropped
- any failure (walled-off target, oversized grid, no DOM) falls back
to the previous direct-elbow behavior
Hand-aligning a dragged segment could leave two parallel runs a pixel
or two apart, joined by a tiny perpendicular step, because alignment
snapping only ever targeted OTHER wires' geometry.
- Segment and bend-point drags now also snap (6 px threshold) against
the dragged wire's own points — excluding the ones being dragged —
so a run clicks into line with its neighbour and the exact
simplification fuses them into one segment on commit.
- fuseMicroJogs: parallel runs offset by under 2 px joined by a tiny
step are aligned automatically (the run not anchored to a wire
endpoint moves; shorter run yields when both are free). Applied at
render time and in renderedToWaypoints/normalizeWireWaypoints, so
already-saved crooked wires display straight without touching data.
Three wiring quality fixes:
- Rounded corners: every bend now renders as a quadratic curve
(radius 7, clamped to half the shorter adjacent segment), with
round line caps/joins. Segment/waypoint drag previews and the
in-progress preview use the same path builder so the look is
consistent everywhere.
- Degenerate geometry cleanup at render time: the expanded polyline
is simplified (duplicates, collinear runs, U-turns) before the
path is emitted, so wires saved with junk waypoints no longer
render on top of themselves. Stored data is untouched until the
user edits the wire.
- WYSIWYG commit: finishWireCreation materialises the final-leg
elbow exactly as the live preview drew it (longer axis first) and
normalises the stored waypoints. Previously the committed wire
fell back to horizontal-first and visibly changed shape on click.
simplifyOrthogonalPath moved to wireUtils (re-exported from
wireHitDetection for existing imports); the duplicated inline
expansions in SimulatorCanvas now use the shared helper. Waypoint
dots on idle wires removed (visual noise); endpoint dots stay.
Monaco's focus sink is a plain div (.native-edit-context under the
EditContext API), neither an input tag nor contentEditable, so the
typing guard missed it and a mapped letter typed into the code editor
pressed the button. Treat any keydown originating inside .monaco-editor
as typing.
Any pushbutton (pushbutton / pushbutton-6mm) can now be driven from the
keyboard. Assign a key from the component property dialog — a keycap
control captures the next keypress (Escape cancels, modifiers alone are
rejected) — and a keycap badge next to the component label shows the
mapping on the canvas. Several buttons may share one key on purpose;
the dialog shows a hint when that happens.
At runtime a global bridge translates keydown/keyup into the same
button-press / button-release DOM events the mouse fires on the wokwi
element, so every simulation path (avr8js pin logic, SPICE-driven
inputs, the QEMU GPIO bridge, the pressed visual) behaves identically
to a mouse click. Guards: ignored while typing in inputs or the code
editor, ignored with Ctrl/Alt/Meta held, auto-repeat collapses into one
long press, and window blur releases everything so no button sticks
after Alt-Tab.
The binding is stored as the component's 'key' property, so it
round-trips through project saves and .vlx exports and is undoable like
any other property edit. Strings added to all 9 locales.
Convert the remaining window.confirm() call sites to the in-app
MessageDialogHost, extended with a new confirm mode (Cancel + Confirm
buttons, optional danger styling) via showConfirmDialog().
Sites converted:
- New workspace (EditorPage)
- Load project / delete file (FileExplorer)
- Overwrite SPIFFS file (BoardOptionsModal)
- Delete VFS node (VirtualFileSystem)
All dialog strings are internationalized across the 9 supported locales
(en, es, pt-br, it, fr, zh-cn, de, ja, ru); the two previously
English-only modals now pull from i18n too.
A breadboard is the physical base of a circuit — boards, components and
wires all plug into it — so it should never cover them. Pin its group at
z-index -1 (below boards z 0, components z 1/2, wires z 35), ignoring
selection. Detected by metadataId prefix 'breadboard' (breadboard,
breadboard-mini). Its own pins stay wireable wherever it's not covered.
The dense-component threshold (>60 pins) meant boards like the Arduino
(31 pins) still painted every pin blue on hover — a wall of squares. Drop
the threshold: every component/board now keeps its squares invisible and
lights up only the ONE under the cursor (matching the breadboard, which
users already liked). Wiring mode still paints them all — all valid targets.
Removing isActive from board showPins (prev commit) exposed a latent bug:
BoardOnCanvas put onMouseEnter/onMouseLeave on the drag overlay, a SIBLING
of PinOverlay. Moving the cursor from the overlay onto a pin square fired
the overlay's mouseleave, cleared hoveredBoardId, and hid every pin right
as you reached one — so a board pin could never be clicked to start a wire
(breadboards were fine: their group wrapper owns both body and pins).
Move the hover handlers to the wrapper div that contains the board body,
the drag overlay AND the pin squares, so moving among them never fires
mouseleave. Board dragging (onMouseDown on the overlay) is unaffected.
Three UX fixes to the pin squares:
- Pins show on hover or while wiring only. The active board and the
selected component used to light every pin permanently.
- Dense components (>60 pins — breadboards) don't paint a wall of blue
on hover: squares stay invisible and light up individually under the
cursor. While a wire is in progress every square paints again since
they're all valid targets (new `wiring` prop threaded to PinOverlay).
- mousedown on a pin square stops propagation, so press-and-drag from a
pin no longer pans the canvas.
Two stacking bugs:
1. Pin overlays used a global z-index 30 while component bodies sit at
z 0-5, all in .canvas-world's single stacking context — so a covered
component's pins painted on top of whatever covered it (arduino pins
showing through a breadboard). Each component/board group is now a
zero-size positioned wrapper that forms its own stacking context
(boards z 0, components z 1, selected z 2): pins stay above their own
body but are hidden together with it. .components-area becomes
pointer-events: none so board pins/drag overlays (now trapped at z 0)
keep receiving clicks through it; component groups re-enable their own.
2. The Add Component / board picker overlays (z 1000/2000) rendered
behind the pro AI chat panel (z 8000). Both now portal to <body> at
z 9000.
Verified in-app: board drag, component drag, wire creation from board
pin to LED, covered pins hidden (0/14 leak), covering component's pins
still clickable.

The Sign-in links navigate with a full page load (they mount in a
separate React root without Router context), which wipes the in-memory
Zustand workspace. New utils/workspaceDraft stashes the whole workspace
(reusing the lossless .vlx serialisation) to sessionStorage before that
navigation and restores it once when the editor remounts after login —
so a user who was building a circuit and signs in lands back on their
work instead of the empty starter board.
Strictly scoped to the login round-trip by a one-shot restore flag (not
a general autosave), and skipped when a named project is already loaded
so it never clobbers one. EditorPage calls restoreStashedWorkspace() on
mount; the pro overlay's auth links call stashWorkspaceForAuth() before
navigating.
useMessageDialogStore + <MessageDialogHost /> (mounted once in App.tsx)
give a themed in-app dialog callable from anywhere — React components
and plain .ts modules alike via showMessageDialog(msg, {kind}). Swaps
the native alert() calls in FileExplorer (import errors) and the
desktop menu (.vlx open errors, updater status) for it; the pro overlay
can reuse the same store.
The 'Create with AI' button referenced the Pro AI agent (hardcoded
prompt, agent event) inside the anonymous OSS dialog — chat/agent logic
must live in the velxio-prod overlay, not here. CustomChipDialog now
just exposes a generic `data-velxio-slot="custom-chip-actions"`
extension point (empty in OSS) and hangs its close handler on the slot
element so the overlay can dismiss the dialog after acting. The button
itself, its prompt and the Pro entitlement gate move to the overlay.
- 'Create with AI' button in CustomChipDialog dispatches the generic
velxio:agent-prompt window event (no-op without a listener — the pro
overlay's chat panel picks it up and prefills the composer).
- chipCompileService maps the hosted deployment's 401 gate to a human
'sign in to compile custom chips' message instead of a raw status
line. Self-hosted OSS keeps the route open and never sees either.
Registers upstream @wokwi/elements, velxio-elements/ and the element
classes living next to their React wrappers in velxio-components/ —
without pulling any React component graph. Used by pin-metadata
introspection in tests/generators (the pro agent's metadata export).
Google's auto-generated sitelinks for "velxio" surfaced docs/blog pages
but not the Editor (the primary app) or Home. Sitelinks can't be forced,
but an explicit SiteNavigationElement ItemList naming the primary nav —
Editor, Examples, Documentation, Pricing, About, in that order — is the
recognized structured-data hint for what the site's main sections are.
The examples page showed only ~3 cards per row (the grid was capped at
max-width 1200px with minmax(300px) columns), a tall header, and three
stacked filter rows (16 board tabs + category + difficulty) that pushed
the actual examples far down the page. Card thumbnails also letterboxed
with black bars on the sides.
- Grid: widen to 1680px + minmax(232px) columns → ~6 cols on a 1600px
screen (was 3). Cards smaller/denser (radius, info padding, title).
- Thumbnails: fixed 5:3 aspect-ratio container + object-fit:cover so the
preview fills edge to edge — no more black side bars.
- Filters: replace the search row + 16 board tabs + two button rows with
ONE compact toolbar (search + Board/Category/Difficulty dropdowns +
live count) and removable filter chips (badges with ×) + Clear all.
- Header trimmed (smaller title, less margin) so cards start high.
The red viewport rectangle read the React `pan` prop, but the canvas
pans by mutating panRef + the .canvas-world transform directly (no
setState until pointer-up, for zero-lag dragging). So while you dragged
the canvas the rectangle sat frozen and only jumped at the end. The
minimap now also receives panRef/zoomRef and mirrors them via a
requestAnimationFrame loop that setStates only on change, so the rect
follows the canvas every frame while keeping the canvas render-free
during the gesture.
Also: boards were all drawn as one fixed 120x90 world rectangle
regardless of the actual board, misrepresenting the layout. Use the real
per-board BOARD_SIZE (now exported from BoardOnCanvas) so each footprint
is proportional. And enlarge the map 100x75 -> 160x120 (same 4:3 as the
4000x3000 world) so it's usable.
The profile Duplicate dialog passes the chosen name, description and
visibility to POST /projects/{id}/duplicate. Options are optional — an
empty call still clones with the source name + " (copy)".
Pairs with the pro-overlay endpoint that clones a project (row + file
groups) into the caller's account. Lives next to deleteProject — the
OSS client already fronts the pro-only projects API when overlaid.
New optional `featured` metadata flag: ComponentRegistry stable-sorts
featured components to the front after loading (and indexes categories
from the sorted list, so per-category views keep the same order). The
two breadboards are marked featured in component-overrides.json — they
are everyday parts and now open the component grid instead of sitting
at the bottom below every diode.
Swap the programmatic SVGs for the real Fritzing breadboard art
(breadboard2.svg / miniBreadboard.svg from fritzing/fritzing-parts),
served from /component-svgs/fritzing/ and scaled x4/3 so the hole pitch
is the wokwi-standard 9.6 CSS px. pinInfo is computed from the measured
Fritzing hole grid (terminal col 1 at x=10.92, rails at x=25.33 in
5-hole groups; wokwi rows a-e map onto fritzing J..F on the full board,
1:1 on the mini; the red stripe marks the + row of each rail pair), so
wire endpoints land exactly on the drawn holes. The element reserves its
final size immediately and falls back to a light programmatic SVG with
identical geometry if the asset can't load. ATTRIBUTION.md records the
CC-BY-SA 3.0 license of the two SVG files.
Verified in the app: fritzing art renders for both boards, the LED
circuit through full-board column + mini column + ground rail still
lights, SPICE overlay shows the merged nets (5.00V on the pin-8 net).
Two velxio-native passive parts, rendered as web components with
programmatic SVG + precomputed pinInfo (velxio-breadboard 830 holes,
velxio-breadboard-mini 170). Pin names follow the Wokwi convention
(holes `18t.d` / `17b.i`, rails `tp/tn/bp/bn.N`) and the metadata ids
are `breadboard` / `breadboard-mini`, so wokwi diagram.json zips
import/export with no aliasing.
Internal connectivity (5-hole column strips, full-length power rails)
is centralized in utils/breadboardNets.ts and wired into every net
consumer:
- NetlistBuilder: unionBreadboardGroups joins wired holes per group at
the union-find level in buildNetlist, buildWireNetMap and
buildBoardPinNetMap — SPICE, the circuit verifier and the voltage
overlay all see one net per strip/rail with no extra cards.
- DynamicComponent.traceDetailed: the digital trace hops through every
other wired hole of the entered group, so parts wired through a
breadboard still resolve their board pin (2-terminal
PASSIVE_PIN_PAIRS could not express N-hole groups).
Verified end-to-end in the app: Uno pin 8 -> full-board column ->
resistor -> mini-board column -> LED -> ground rail -> GND lights the
LED, and the HUD shows the 3 collapsed SPICE nets. 8 new unit tests
(breadboard-nets.test.ts); netlist-builder + circuit-verifier suites
stay green.
Hardware-SPI (FSPI/GPSPI2) ILI9341 draw from an ESP32-S3: fill + rounded
rect + text via Adafruit_GFX/ILI9341. Exercises the S3 GPSPI2 controller
end to end (worker SPI stream + DC/CS/RST -> the canvas TFT decoder).
When addBoard promotes a board to active (first board, or the previously
active one was removed) it set activeBoardId without syncing s.simulator,
unlike setActiveBoardId which sets both. Parts that read s.simulator - SPI
displays (ILI9341) attach spi.onByte to the active simulator - then wired
onto the previous board's bus and never received data, so a boards[] ESP32
example with a TFT rendered black. Sync simulator to the promoted board
(no-op when the active board is unchanged).
Adds `velxio-ssd1306-i2c-4pin`, a native 4-pin SSD1306 OLED module
(GND/VCC/SCL/SDA) — the cheap 0.96" I2C board most beginners actually have,
matching Wokwi's board-ssd1306. The 8-pin `wokwi-ssd1306` breakout stays; this
is the distinct 4-pin part (issue #215). Same SSD1306Core render pipeline
(imageData/redraw) so the display paints identically; I2C-only, address via the
i2cAddress property (default 0x3C). Styled after the existing 8-pin element
(blue PCB, dark screen, corner holes, star).
Ships four "SSD1306 OLED (4-pin I2C)" gallery examples wiring it over I2C on
Arduino Uno (A4/A5), ESP32 (21/22), Raspberry Pi Pico (GP4/GP5) and STM32 Blue
Pill (PB7/PB6).
English is the default locale and is served at the root with no prefix, so
/en/project/x (a natural guess by analogy with /es/, /zh-cn/, ...) matched no
route and rendered blank. Redirect /en/* -> /* (and /en -> /), preserving query
and hash, so those URLs land on the right page while the canonical prefix-free
English URLs stay put for SEO. The other 8 locales already work under their
/<locale>/ prefixes.
Follow-up to the SSD1306 picker consolidation. All 68 saved projects that used
the retired ssd1306-i2c / ssd1306-spi ids have been migrated to the single
`ssd1306` (metadataId rewritten, protocol pinned), so the simulation aliases
are no longer needed and are removed.
- Auto-detect refined to CS-only: chip-select is the SPI-exclusive signal;
DC does NOT imply SPI (on the 8-pin module DC doubles as the I2C address /
SA0 line, so many I2C circuits wire it). Fixes false-SPI on those circuits.
- The `ssd1306` part honors an explicit `protocol` property when present
(migrated legacy projects carry it) and auto-detects otherwise.
- loadProjectState normalizes any lingering ssd1306-i2c/spi ids (old .vlx
files, pre-migration snapshots) to `ssd1306` + the matching protocol, so
removing the aliases can never blank an old import.
The SSD1306 was three picker entries — a generic `ssd1306` with a protocol
selector plus `ssd1306-i2c` / `ssd1306-spi` shortcuts (issue #101) — all the
same 8-pin wokwi-ssd1306 element. That is confusing for one physical module
(issue #215). Wokwi ships a single I2C-only part; this goes one better: a
single part that auto-detects the protocol from the wiring, like a real
breadboard — CS or DC wired to a GPIO means SPI, otherwise I2C. No protocol
switch to set, just wire it up.
Works on every board with an I2C/SPI bus (AVR, RP2040, ESP32 Xtensa, STM32).
The ssd1306-i2c / ssd1306-spi ids stay as backward-compat simulation aliases
for projects saved before the merge, but are removed from the picker. Adds an
i2cAddress property (0x3c/0x3d) matching the real module and Wokwi.
Note: ESP32-C3, Raspberry Pi 3 and the bare RISC-V board do not emulate I2C/SPI
peripherals, so no I2C/SPI device (this or any other) attaches there yet.
Esp32C3Simulator already had the GPIO_IN plumbing (setPinState -> gpioIn ->
GPIO_IN_REG read) but never opted into connectDigitalInputsToMcu, so a pin
wired to a switch/button was never fed the solved circuit voltage and
digitalRead() ignored the real wiring. Enabling the flag (as AVRSimulator and
RP2040Simulator already do) completes the issue #247 fix: the ESP32-C3 now
reads GPIO2 from the SPICE solve, so toggling the slide switch flips the LED.
BasicParts' button/slide-switch seed already yields to spiceDriven(), so there
is no double-drive.
The slide-switch SPICE model only wired pin 1 <-> pin 2 (an SPST), ignoring
pin 3. The part is really an SPDT whose common wiper (pin 2) selects pin 1 at
value=0 or pin 3 at value=1, so a switch wired GND-1 / signal-2 / VCC-3 (the
natural Wokwi hookup) could never pull its signal high. Fixes the reported
ESP32-C3 case (issue #247) where only the green LED lit and the switch never
toggled the red one.
Second cause on that board: the ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 exposes its supply as
3V3.1/3V3.2 and 5V.1/5V.2 (there is no bare 3V3/5V pin). VCC_PIN_RE has no
numeric-suffix branch on purpose (a dual-supply pin such as L293D VCC2 must
not collapse onto the shared logic rail), so those numbered pins floated at
0 V and the switch's HIGH side was dead. List them in boardPinGroups for
esp32-c3 / esp32-s3 / esp32-cam.
- componentToSpice: SPDT emission (both throws, complementary 0.01/1e9 R).
- digitalGateEngine: both driveSwitch paths (all-digital + mixed) made SPDT to
match, so the pure-digital paint and the ngspice solve agree.
- examples-digital / examples-circuits: rewire every slide-switch so the rail
feeds pin 3 and pin 1 is the value=0 throw, preserving value=ON=HIGH.
- spice-slide-switch-spdt-repro test reproduces issue #247 at the netlist level.
The top bar packs three zones onto one row: the view-mode toggle, the editor
actions (Compile/Run/Stop/...), and the canvas controls (board selector,
Serial, Scope, zoom, Add) portaled in from SimulatorCanvas. The editor zone
was flex:1 min-width:0 while the canvas zone was fixed-width, so when the bar
narrowed - mainly when the right-docked AI chat opens - the editor zone shrank
below its own buttons and painted them over the board selector / Serial /
Scope. The existing collapse logic was keyed to the viewport (@media 768px),
so it never fired on a wide screen with the chat open.
Make the shared bar a container-query context and collapse every zone by the
bar's own width instead of the viewport: view-mode labels drop to icons first,
then Serial/Scope/Add labels and the board selector ellipsizes, then the
component count and finally the zoom buttons (wheel-zoom still works). Floor
the editor zone at its collapsed content width so it can never underflow and
overlap; past that the lower-priority canvas controls yield toward the right
edge instead. Verified across bar widths 660-1140px with the AI chat open:
overlap eliminated, dropdown menus still render un-clipped.
The file-tabs strip in the toolbar center duplicated affordances that
already exist elsewhere: the file it showed is selected in the left file
explorer, and its board-owner label duplicated the board selector combo.
It also ate horizontal space and crowded the action row on narrow panes.
Remove the FileTabs component entirely; the left explorer is now the single
place to switch files. The toolbar center slot stays as an empty flex
spacer so the right action group remains pinned to the far right.
In a multi-board project the wired boards are one system, so running just
the active board almost never matches intent (a cross-wired UART pair only
comes alive when both run). The primary Run button now runs ALL boards when
there is more than one, with a split caret-menu to still run only the active
board. Single-board and board-less behaviour is unchanged, and the separate
Run-All double-triangle button is kept only for board+chip / chips-only
projects where the primary Run is not already a run-all.
The esp32-blink-led example wired the external red LED straight from GPIO4
to the anode with no current-limiting resistor. Add a 220 Ohm resistor in
series (GPIO4 -> R -> LED anode -> GND) so the example models correct
practice and matches the other LED examples.
WebSocket-backed boards (ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi) reach the electrical
simulation only through PinManager.triggerPinChange, which updated the pin
state + notified listeners but never requested an electrical re-solve. AVR
and RP2040 already resolve at their own toggle sites. As a result an analog
part on an MCU-driven net (e.g. a resistor-less LED whose brightness comes
from the SPICE solve) stayed at its first solved value until unrelated
activity (such as serial output) forced a solve — so an ESP32 blink with no
Serial in loop() left the LED stuck on.
Request an electrical re-solve after an 'mcu'-sourced pin edge, in one place
(triggerPinChange), covering all WS boards. Gated to source==='mcu' so the
solver's own input feedback (triggerPinChange with the default 'external'
source) can't loop; requestElectricalResolve coalesces overlapping ticks so
a per-edge call is cheap.
After deleting the default board and adding a different one via the canvas
picker, the editor kept editing the removed board's (now deleted) file group
while compile read the NEW board's default group — so code typed into the
editor was silently dropped and the board ran its default sketch ("compiles
fine but runs the old code"). addBoard now points the editor at the new
board's group when it becomes active, and removeBoard re-points it at whatever
board is active afterwards. setActiveBoardId already did this; the canvas
picker calls addBoard directly. Adds a regression test.
Extend the spice-driven input path (already live for AVR/ESP32) to RP2040 and
STM32 so digitalRead() of an INPUT pin reflects the actual wiring: a pin tied
to a rail reads that rail, and an INPUT_PULLUP button-to-GND reads idle-HIGH /
pressed-LOW instead of floating or inverted.
RP2040 (rp2040js, frontend-only): the GPIO listener now splits input vs output
mode. Input pins report their pad pull (InputPullUp/Down) via setPinPull and
seed the pull's idle level (rp2040js does not auto-apply the pad pull to the
readable input register); the SPICE solve then overrides via connectDigital-
InputsToMcu when the net is actually sourced. Output pins drive as before.
spiceDrivenInputs = true.
STM32 (backend QEMU): the worker now forwards a new gpio_pull event (from the
libqemu-arm picsimlab_pull_pin callback) so the netlist stamps the matching
weak resistor; Stm32Bridge surfaces it, Stm32BridgeShim opts into
spiceDrivenInputs, and collectPinStates maps PA0/PC13 names to the linear pin
so the pull is read. STM32 outputs stay on the part layer (unchanged).
Event-driven parts with no SPICE model (rotary encoder, keypad) remain
protected by the existing sourcedNets gate in the connector.
Re-do the AVR spice-driven digital inputs (reverted in c11c195) the right way so
INPUT_PULLUP buttons keep working. PinManager.updatePort now detects the AVR
internal pull-up (input DDR bit + PORT bit high) and sets the pin pull, so the
netlist stamps the 45k pull-up and an INPUT_PULLUP input reads HIGH at idle.
connectDigitalInputsToMcu drives a pin from the solve only when its net is
source-backed by a RAIL or a COMPONENT card (button switch, divider, cross-board
output) — NOT by the internal pull alone — so INPUT_PULLUP pins wired to
event-driven parts with no SPICE model (rotary encoder, keypad) are left to the
part layer and never clobbered. AVR only; RP2040/STM32 stay on the part-seed
until their pulls are modeled.
The spiceDrivenInputs change (e81450e + f4401cc) fixed plain-INPUT-wired-to-rail
reads but BROKE the far more common INPUT_PULLUP + button-to-GND pattern: the
internal pull-up is not modeled in the netlist, so the input floated LOW and read
as permanently pressed (verified live on the stm32-bluepill-button example).
Revert all the spice-driven-input changes to the pre-fix part-seed behaviour,
which handles INPUT_PULLUP correctly. Proper fix (model the internal pull-up per
board so BOTH patterns work) is a follow-up. Keeps the Pi LED fix.
Extend the source-backed SPICE-driven input fix to the Pico (RP2040) and STM32:
a GP/PA pin wired to a rail or button now reads the right level from the solve,
while floating event-part nets (encoder/keypad/dialer/dip/stepper) stay on the
part layer. RP2040 just opts in (spiceDrivenInputs); STM32 opts in via the
Stm32BridgeShim and connectDigitalInputsToMcu maps PA0/PC13 names to the linear
pin setPinState expects (stm32PinNameToLinear).
An Arduino input wired to a power rail read the wrong level: a pin tied to 5V
read LOW, and a button-to-5V read idle-HIGH / pressed-LOW. AVR inputs were never
fed the solved circuit voltage (only the ESP32 had spiceDrivenInputs), so a
bare-rail input had no driver and buttons fell back to a hardcoded active-low
pull-up seed that ignored the wiring.
Enable spiceDrivenInputs on AVRSimulator, and gate connectDigitalInputsToMcu on
a new NetlistBuilder sourcedNets set (rails, GPIO V-sources, pulls, and any net
a component card touches). Only source-backed input pins are driven from the
solve; floating nets are left to the part layer, so event-driven parts with no
SPICE model (rotary encoder, keypad, dialer, dip-switch, stepper) keep driving
their own pins instead of being forced LOW.
/about had its own seoMeta but was never in the entry-server prerender map,
so it was served as the SPA shell (homepage title/canonical) — a soft-404
risk for a page that is in the sitemap. Add it to ROUTE_COMPONENTS so
prerender-seo.mjs emits dist/about/index.html with the real About content
(now featuring the Velxio 3.0 release card) and a self-referencing canonical.
ESP32 digitalRead now reflects the actual circuit instead of a part-level
seed, so a button behaves like hardware — including breaking when it's
mis-wired.
- connectDigitalInputsToMcu: after each SPICE solve, threshold every ESP32
input pin's net voltage (3.3 V LVCMOS, hysteresis) and push the level into
QEMU. Only pins the MCU isn't driving as outputs are injected.
- Esp32BridgeShim advertises spiceDrivenInputs; the pushbutton / 6mm-button /
slide-switch parts skip their direct setPinState seed for such boards and
only flip the component property (pressed/value), which re-solves the
circuit. The connector then decides the level from the real wiring.
- makePinPullHandler no longer seeds the pin; it only records the pull
(netlist resistor) + requests a re-solve, so the read stays circuit-driven.
- GROUND_PIN_RE now matches bare numbered grounds (GND2, GND3) — the ESP32
DevKit element labels its second pad 'GND2', which previously floated.
Net effect: a correctly-wired INPUT_PULLUP button idles HIGH and reads LOW
pressed; a button mis-wired with GND on the wrong terminal reads stuck-LOW,
matching real silicon. AVR / RP2040 keep the legacy part-seed path.
The Pi bridge onPinChange was a no-op, so guest GPIO writes never reached the
PinManager / SPICE solver and wired LEDs stayed dark even though user scripts
printed 'LED on'. Mirror the ESP32 branch: forward to pm.triggerPinChange so
GPIO drives the canvas. Interconnect still preserves and calls this before its
own cross-board routing.
