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.

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).

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.
A board example proving digital and analog coexist in ONE circuit: the Arduino
drives two logic levels, a physical AND gate combines them, and the AND output
switches an NPN 2N2222 transistor that drives the "motor" LED. Verified live: it
compiles, the MCU drives the AND gate (5 V), the transistor conducts and the LED
lights — MCU -> logic gate -> transistor -> load works across the digital and
ngspice motors together.
Known limitation (sim-mixedmode step 2, pending): the ngspice side does not
re-solve on every MCU pin edge, so a fast (1 Hz) blink does not track in real
time — the analog output changes on a slower cadence. User-driven / slow changes
track fine. Snapshot updated for the new example.

The AND Gate Alarm needed BOTH inputs HIGH at once, but it used momentary
pushbuttons buffered through an Arduino — with one mouse you can only hold one
button at a time, so the AND never fired and the alarm could never be
demonstrated.
Rebuilt it as a board-less digital circuit: two SLIDE switches (they latch) feed
a real AND gate that drives the alarm LED. Slide both switches ON and they stay,
so the alarm arms. No MCU / compilation — it runs on the digital gate engine.
Verified live: the LED lights only on 11 (00/01/10 -> off, 11 -> on).
Snapshot updated: the new board-less and-gate-alarm netlist, plus the digital
bucket count label (38 -> 39) from the earlier ripple-counter example.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds the first board-less SEQUENTIAL gallery example (digital-ripple-counter-4bit):
four T flip-flops chained into a ripple counter, LEDs showing the binary count,
clocked by a slide switch. Impossible on the SPICE engine (no edge detection at
DC) - it runs on the digital gate engine.
Controller fix (found by testing the counter live): the controller rebuilt the
network on every change, which reset flip-flop state so a counter never counted.
Now the network is built once and KEPT ALIVE; a switch toggle applies
incrementally via setSwitch (preserving sequential state), and a rebuild happens
only on a structural change (components/wires). Correct for combinational AND
sequential circuits.
examples-digital.test.ts: flip-flop examples are digital-engine-only, so they are
exempt from the SPICE-mapping / has-a-gate / netlist checks (the "logic" check
now accepts a gate OR a flip-flop). digitalgate-engine-examples: a correctness
test clocks the real counter example and asserts it counts 1..15,0 in binary.
Verified live (?digitalgates default ON): the counter counts 0..6 on the canvas;
and the complex examples all work - comparator-4bit (A=B correct), decoder-3to8
(perfect one-hot x8), alu-slice-1bit (32 combos deterministic), multiplier-2x2
(3*3=9, 7 distinct products), adder-subtractor-4bit (5+3=8).

Flip-flops are edge-triggered and hold state, which the combinational settle
kernel cannot model alone. buildDigitalNetwork now gives each flip-flop explicit
state + rising-CLK-edge detection (reusing the LogicGateParts sample semantics):
sample the data nets on the edge, drive Q + Qbar. Because a flip-flop only
updates on the clock edge, a Q->D / Q->CLK feedback (counter / shift register)
does not oscillate the settle loop. isAllDigital now accepts a gate OR a
flip-flop, so pure sequential circuits qualify.
Test digitalgate-sequential (4): D (capture + hold), T (toggle), JK
(hold/set/reset/toggle), and a 2-bit ripple counter (FF0.Qbar clocks FF1)
counting 1,2,3,0,1 - impossible on the SPICE path (no edge detection at DC, no
SPICE mapper). The controller already routes all-digital circuits through
buildDigitalNetwork, so a board-less counter/shift-register example would run
live; authoring those gallery examples is the only follow-up. Full digitalgate
+ examples-digital + circuit-simulation-service suites green (127 tests).

buildMixedNetwork evaluates the gate (digital) side of a MIXED circuit on the
settle kernel and exposes the boundary with the analog (ngspice) domain. Unlike
buildDigitalNetwork it does not bail on non-primitive components - those are the
analog side; their pins mark the nets they touch as boundary. Exposes
boundaryNets, readBoundary(net) (digital->analog: the gate-driven level to seed
an ngspice voltage source) and setBoundaryInput(net, level) (analog->digital:
ngspice's solved+thresholded level, which re-evaluates downstream gates).
Test digitalgate-mixed-boundary (4): the boundary nets are exactly the
digital/analog bridges; both directions track; a digital->analog->digital
coupler loop converges. No ngspice needed - the analog side is supplied by the
test. Wiring the handoff to the live ngspice netlist (0/Vcc sources + threshold
+ settle<->solve iteration) is the remaining step; it needs the running solver
(the node loader is broken by a pre-existing path bug) and a mixed example.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 4 (brought forward before the mixed-mode boundary). digitalgate-sweep
proves the engine handles 38/38 gallery digital examples: every one builds,
resolves every LED, and never oscillates. Tightened isAllDigital to also require
at least one logic gate, so a degenerate analog {source, resistor, LED} circuit
stays on ngspice rather than being claimed by the digital path. Flipped
digitalGatesEnabled() default to ON (override with ?digitalgates=off).
Full frontend suite 2120 pass / 5 fail — the 5 are the same pre-existing
unrelated failures (ngspice node-path, attiny85 arduino-cli, component-to-spice
catalog); the default flip adds no new breakage and examples-digital +
circuit-simulation-service stay green.

Board-less digital circuits (logic gates + switches + LEDs) run today as ngspice
analog B-sources, which is fragile for deep logic: a 4-bit ripple adder re-solves
but never lights its result LEDs live. This adds an event-driven digital motor
that reuses the multichip-bus settle kernel, so the same engine that boots a Z80
over a chip bus evaluates a gate network exactly and instantly.
Phases 0-2 (project/digital-gate-engine/), all behind ?digitalgates=on (default
OFF — flag off is byte-for-byte the old behaviour):
- digitalGateEngine.ts: buildDigitalNetwork(components, wires) does union-find
over the wires (merging pass-through resistors), identifies the rail/gnd from
the signal-generator, registers drivers (rail STRONG-1, gnd 0, pull resistors
PULL, slide-switch as a pass-gate) and event-driven gates (reusing the
LogicGateParts boolean semantics), settles on busKernel, and exposes
setSwitch / readLed / netOf. Tolerant of both the raw example `type` and the
store `metadataId`. Returns {ok:false} for any non-primitive, so mixed/analog
circuits stay entirely on ngspice.
- digitalGateController.ts + a SimulatorCanvas useEffect: when the flag is on and
the circuit is all-digital, rebuild from the store on switch-toggle / load
(rAF-coalesced) and paint the wokwi-led DOM. CircuitSimulationService.tick()
skips the SPICE solve for all-digital circuits when the flag is on, so the two
motors never fight over the LEDs.
Tests: digitalgate-kernel (22 — single gates -> half/full adder -> 4-bit
adder/subtractor -> exhaustive ADD 256 -> mux/decoder/comparator/parity/
multiplier) and digitalgate-engine-examples (6 — the real gallery data for
and/or/xor/not + the full adder/subtractor). Verified live: ?digitalgates=on
lights the adder's result LEDs that the SPICE path leaves dark. Full suite
2117 pass / 5 pre-existing unrelated fails.

The gallery example loaded but the Z80 never visibly ran: the screen stayed
frozen on garbage. Two multi-chip async-load races, neither caught by the
existing headless tests (which drive RESET manually and attach the display
before boot):
1. RESET edge-vs-level race. The Z80 only left reset on the RISING edge of
RESET (a pin watch). In the browser the 7 chips instantiate asynchronously,
so the small power-on-reset chip releases RESET before the larger Z80 has
registered its watch -> the edge is lost and the CPU stays in reset forever.
Fix: on_clock samples the RESET level (hardware-accurate; RESET is
level-sensitive) so a missed edge self-corrects. An undriven RESET reads low,
so the CPU safely stays in reset until something drives it high.
Repro/guard: chipbus-galaksija-reset-race (race ordering must still boot).
2. Display-snoop load-order race. galaksija-display was a passive write-snoop;
the ROM paints the screen ONCE at boot then idles, so a display that comes up
late misses every write and shows stale content forever. A snoop cannot
recover writes it never saw. Fix: fold the screen into the RAM chip
(galaksija-ram-display) and render from the ACTUAL video RAM (0x2800-0x2BFF,
internal 0x0800 with A0-A12 wiring) on a ~30 fps timer - correct regardless
of load order, exactly how the real machine scans video RAM.
Repro/guard: chipbus-galaksija-display-snoop-race (late snoop shows nothing)
+ chipbus-galaksija-ram-display (renders even when first paint is post-boot).
The example now has 6 chips (RAM+display merged, gdisp dropped), 76 wires.
Verified live in the browser: boots to "@'READY", shows the ">" prompt, and
pressing A echoes ">A_" through keyboard -> Z80 -> video RAM -> display. The
full chipbus suite is 45/45.

Adds a memory-mapped keyboard so you can type into the Galaksija. Based on
the libretro Galaksija core's scheme (not guessed): reading 0x2000+offset
returns 0xFE when the key at that matrix offset is held, 0xFF otherwise;
the keyMap gives the offset per key ('A'=1 ... Enter=48, Space=31, etc.).
- galaksija-keyboard.c: drives reads of 0x2000-0x203F from a keys[] table and
exports set_key(offset, down) for the host to push key events. Never drives
outside the keyboard range.
- galaksija-ram.c: ram-64k variant that yields reads of 0x2000-0x203F to the
keyboard (writes still go to RAM), so the two never fight for the bus.
- ChipRuntime: ChipInstance.hasKeyboard + setKey() expose the chip's set_key.
- CustomChipPart: bridges browser keydown/keyup (by KeyboardEvent.code, via
GALAKSIJA_KEY_OFFSET) into the chip, ignoring keystrokes while the code
editor or an input is focused so typing code is never hijacked.
- The gallery example gains the keyboard chip (now 7 chips, 99 wires) and uses
galaksija-ram.
Test chipbus-galaksija-keyboard: pressing 'A' (offset 1) makes the BASIC
monitor echo "A" after its ">" prompt and advances the cursor. 41 chipbus
tests pass.

(wasmBase64) so it runs without a backend compile.
- ChipRuntime.tickTimers gains a wall-clock budget (CustomChipPart passes
6 ms): a faithful-but-slow event-driven bus can't run a real-time CPU in
one animation frame, so without a cap a Z80 fetching over the settle
kernel froze the tab. With the budget the sim advances slower than real
time (boots over a few seconds) and the UI stays responsive; fast
single-chip examples finish under budget and are unaffected.
- galaksija-display: blits its framebuffer on a ~30 fps timer instead of on
every character write, so a clear-screen burst doesn't flood the canvas.
- reset-gen: power-on reset (pulses RESET high, ties WAIT/BUSREQ/INT/NMI
high) so the machine boots on Resume without a manual reset.
- chipbus flag now defaults ON (override with ?chipbus=off): chip-to-chip
buses are a core capability; single-chip and board nets never take this
path, so the only thing enabled is multi-chip buses, previously broken.
Verified live in the browser: the example boots and renders "@'READY" with
the ">_" prompt, responsive. Full suite 2084 pass (5 pre-existing,
unrelated env failures).

Galaksija stores ASCII codes in its 0x2800 video RAM (verified by snooping
the boot: it writes "@'READY" + ">_" prompt). The original CHRGEN ROM uses
a hardware-specific addressing that does not map char-code*8 to a glyph, so
rendering through it produced garbled output. Render the ASCII codes with
the public-domain IBM/VGA 8x8 font (font8x8 by Daniel Hepper / Marcel
Sondaar) instead -- legible green-on-black phosphor text. The boot screen
now reads "@'READY" with the ">_" input prompt, exactly like a real
Galaksija. Tests updated to check the bright-green channel.

galaksija-display.c: a 32x16 text video chip that renders the Galaksija
video RAM. It is a passive bus snoop -- watches WR + address + data, and on
a write into the 0x2800 video region stores the character and renders that
cell into a 256x128 framebuffer using the public-domain CHRGEN font (code*8,
bit 0 = lit). It never drives the bus. The host blits the framebuffer to the
chip canvas (vx_framebuffer_init / vx_buffer_write).
Two tests:
- chipbus-galaksija-display: snoop+render smoke test (a write of 'R' to
0x2802 lights its cell; unwritten cells stay blank).
- chipbus-galaksija-computer: the COMPLETE machine over the chip-to-chip bus
(Z80 + galaksija-rom + ram-64k + inverter decode + galaksija-display) boots
the public-domain ROM and renders the monitor's "READY" prompt on screen.
40 chipbus tests across 10 files pass.

The public-domain Galaksija ROM (Voja Antonic; ROM A monitor + integer
BASIC, ROM B float BASIC, 8 KB) runs on a standalone Z80 + external ROM +
RAM + an inverter for address decode, all chip-to-chip over the shared bus,
no board:
ROM 0x0000-0x1FFF rom.CE = A13
RAM 0x2000-0x3FFF ram.CE = NOT A13 (the inverter chip)
RD -> both OE ; WR -> RAM WE
Pin-level boot proof (mirrors test_intel/test_z80/galaksija.test.js): watch
M1, read the address bus on each opcode fetch, and confirm the Z80 leaves
the reset vector (DI; SUB A; JP 0x03DA), reaches the init routine at 0x03DA,
and runs 1000+ fetches across 50+ distinct ROM addresses -- the real
firmware executing end-to-end through the settle-kernel bus. The on-screen
"READY" prompt is the next milestone (needs the video display chip
rendering the 0x2800 video RAM).
galaksija-rom.c embeds the public-domain ROM A+B image. 38 chipbus tests
across 8 files pass.

The architectural heart of the retro computer, proven on real chips. A Z80,
a 32K ROM, a 64K RAM and an inverter (address-decode glue) are wired
chip-to-chip over a shared address + data bus, no board:
ROM at 0x0000-0x7FFF rom.CE = A15
RAM at 0x8000-0xFFFF ram.CE = NOT A15 (the inverter chip)
RD -> both OE ; WR -> RAM WE
The ROM program writes 0x5A to RAM at 0x8000, clears A, reads it back, and
HALTs only if the byte survived. HALT going low proves the full core works:
the Z80 runs from ROM, the inverter decodes A15 to select RAM (the settle
kernel drives the combinational glue across hops), and the RAM latches a
write and returns it on a read over the shared tri-state bus, all within
synchronous bus cycles. Adds z80-ram-rom.c (boot image) + ram-64k/inverter
fixtures. 37 chipbus tests across 7 files pass.

End-to-end validation of Phases 0-2 on an actual CPU. The real Z80
(examples/intel/z80.c) and a 32K EPROM (z80-boot-rom.c, a rom-32k variant
holding JP 0x0006 / HALT) are wired chip-to-chip over a shared address +
data bus with no board. RD drives the ROM's OE; CE is left enabled.
Booting exercises all three phases at once: the Z80 drives the address ->
the ROM reacts on the shared net key (Phase 0); asserts RD -> the ROM
tri-state-drives the data bus while the Z80 released it (Phase 1); and reads
the data bus in the SAME tickTimers step, getting the settled byte
(Phase 2 settle-before-read). The Z80 fetches C3,06,00, jumps to 0x0006,
fetches 76, and HALTs -> drives HALT low, which the test observes.
z80.wasm is compiled from the committed examples/intel/z80.c; the boot ROM
source + chip.json live in test_custom_chips/sdk/examples. All 36 chipbus
tests pass.

Fixes root cause B: a CPU bus cycle drives address+strobe then reads the
data bus in the same tickTimers call, so the memory chip must react before
the read. Phase 0/1 applied each net change by firing PinManager listeners
immediately, which recurses one JS frame per hop - deep glue chains are
deep recursion and a combinational loop overflows the stack.
- busKernel.ts: a delta-cycle settle loop. A net change is recorded in a
pending set, not applied recursively; settle() drains it in batches
(deltas), applying each and letting the driven chips re-dirty the next,
until a fixed point or DELTA_CAP trips (oscillation -> warn, not hang).
Two-phase: a drive lands in pending and is applied on the next delta, so
a chip evaluating mid-settle reads last-stable nets. The first drive of a
cycle settles synchronously before returning to the chip's C code, so the
in-cycle vx_pin_read sees settled data.
- busNets: publishes resolved levels through the kernel instead of calling
triggerPinChange directly.
Tests (chipbus-buskernel): multi-hop chain settles; settle-before-read; a
5000-hop chain settles without stack overflow; a ring oscillator trips the
cap and warns instead of hanging. The two-real-chip integration still
exchanges 0xA5 through the kernel. Full suite 2079 pass flag-off.

A chip-to-chip net is now resolved by (value, strength), not last-writer-
wins, so a real multi-driver bus works: many chips on one data line, only
the enabled one drives, the rest release to Hi-Z.
- busLogic.ts: 4-valued (0/1/Z/X) + drive-strength resolution. Strongest
driver wins; equal strength + opposite = X (contention); no driver = Z;
pull resistor = pull strength. modeToDrive maps VX_OUTPUT -> strong,
VX_INPUT -> Hi-Z (the rom/ram/8255 "release by input" idiom becomes real
tri-state), VX_INPUT_PULLUP/DOWN -> pull.
- busNets.ts: per-net driver registry; resolves and pushes the resolved
level into PinManager; warns once on contention.
- syntheticPins.ts: isSyntheticNetPin distinguishes bus net keys.
- ChipRuntime.ts: pin register/write/set_mode route bus-net pins through
busNets (gated by chipBusEnabled + isSyntheticNetPin); non-bus pins keep
the legacy path; dispose releases the chip's bus drivers. SPICE source
emission is skipped for bus pins (digital fast path beside SPICE).
Tests: busLogic (14), busNets (6, incl. tri-state hand-off + contention),
and the two-real-chip integration now exchanges 0xA5 through the registry.
Full suite 2074 pass with the flag off.

End-to-end proof of the chip-to-chip net-key fix through the real
ChipRuntime + PinManager (not a unit stub). Two chips compiled from C
with wasi-sdk:
- bus-driver.c: drives 0xA5 onto D0..D7 at setup.
- bus-reader.c: polls D0..D7 on a 1ms timer, mirrors onto OUT0..OUT7.
Wired chip-to-chip with no board; with the chipbus flag both chips' Dn
pins resolve to one shared net key, so the reader reproduces 0xA5.
- sdk/examples/bus-{driver,reader}.{c,chip.json}: the proof chips.
- __tests__/fixtures/chipbus/*.wasm: committed fixtures (regenerate with
the test_intel/scripts/compile-chip.sh flags).
- __tests__/chipbus-twochip-integration.test.ts: loads the fixtures via a
relative path; skipIf they are absent.

Fixes root cause A of the multi-chip digital bus track
(project/multichip-bus/): chip-to-chip nets were keyed per-endpoint by
syntheticChipPin(chipId, pinName), so two chips on one wire resolved to
two different PinManager keys and never shared a net.
- chipNets.ts: union-find over the wire graph mints one canonical
syntheticNetPin per net; resolveChipNetKey returns it only for pure
chip-to-chip nets (>=2 chip endpoints, no board pin). Reuses the
existing spice/unionFind.ts.
- syntheticPins.ts: add syntheticNetPin(netId), same allocator/space.
- DynamicComponent.tsx: traceDetailed consults resolveChipNetKey at
depth 0 before the chipNeighbour fallback. Board priority (rule 1) and
chip-to-component (rules 2/3) are unchanged.
- Gated behind ?chipbus=on / localStorage.velxio.chipbus (off by default).
Proof (D-008 go/no-go): __tests__/chipbus-netkey.test.ts - a byte written
on one chip's keys is visible synchronously to another via PinManager.
9 new tests; 85 resolver/PinManager/parts regression tests green flag-off.

The 7.5" 800x480 dashboard (GxEPD2_750_T7) rendered blank: it is a UC8179 /
GD7965 controller, but the panel config claimed controllerFamily 'ssd168x',
so the SSD168x decoder (which only reads 0x24/0x26/0x44/0x45) ignored its
0x10/0x13 DTM stream.
- Add a Uc8179 decoder (worker Uc8179EpaperSlave + browser Uc8179Decoder).
UC8179 is the same UltraChip command family as the UC8159c (0x10/0x13 DTM,
0x12 refresh) but mono (1 bit/px). GxEPD2 writes the visible image to 0x13
(DTM2 "current"; 0x10 is the ignored "previous"), framed by 0x91/0x90
(partial window, pixel coords MSB-first)/0x13 data/0x92. Data lands at
absolute pixel coords inside the window, so compose is just the RAM. The
Frame reuses the SSD168x palette (0=black, 1=white) so paintFrame renders it.
- EPaperPanels.ts: add the 'uc8179' family and point epaper-7in5-bw at it.
EPaperPart.ts + esp32_worker.py dispatch 'uc8179' to the new decoder.
- Fix the BUSY polarity: UC8179 (like the UC8159c) idles BUSY HIGH, not LOW.
The worker seeded BUSY LOW for every non-uc8159c panel, so GxEPD2_750_T7's
_PowerOn()/_InitDisplay() busy-wait timed out (~10 s, "Busy Timeout!") on
every refresh. Now _PowerOn returns in ~129 us.
- esp32_worker.py: the runtime sensor_attach epaper path still emitted the
epaper_update payload nested under 'data' (the old double-wrap bug); emit
it flat like the init path.
The 5.65" ACeP UC8159c example already rendered (it has its own decoder and
got the WS-plumbing fix); verified the 7 colour bars are correct.
The 2.9" tri-colour ESP32 alert badge rendered the red ALERT pill as white:
the red plane (0x26) was received but landed out of bounds and was dropped.
GxEPD2_3C writes the 0x24 (black) plane then the 0x26 (red) plane WITHOUT
re-seeking the RAM address counter between them — it relies on the SSD168x
counter wrapping back to the window start after the last byte of the window.
Our decoder advanced Y past the window end instead of wrapping, so every
0x26 byte hit y >= rows and was discarded (red_ram stayed all-init).
Mirror the hardware: when the X cursor wraps at the end of a row, advance Y
with a wrap at the active window boundary (yrange), honouring the data-entry
Y direction. Applied identically to the worker slave, the browser decoder,
and the Python golden reference so the three stay in lockstep. No regression
on the mono panels (their counter is re-seeked per plane, so the wrap is a
no-op for them); verified the tri-colour pill now renders red and the 2.9"
weather / 2.13" clock / 1.54" hello panels are unchanged.
ePaper panels rendered rotated/misaligned on AVR and RP2040 (e.g. the 2.13"
Pico clock came out sideways and clipped). The ESP32 worker decoder was just
taught to compose in the controller's native RAM geometry and rotate to the
display orientation, but the browser-side SSD168xDecoder (used by AVR/RP2040)
still composed at display dims with no rotation, so the two diverged.
- SSD168xDecoder.ts: port the worker's native-window compose + rotation.
* Size RAM to the longer side both ways so a rotated native layout
(128x296 behind a 296x128 panel) isn't truncated.
* Compose in the active RAM window, then rotate via the inverse of
Adafruit_GFX setRotation(1). Detect orientation by BYTE width so a
non-multiple-of-8 native width (the 2.13" panel is 122 px) is handled.
* Track the UNION of windows per frame: paged drivers (GxEPD2 page height
< panel) set one partial window per page, so compose must use the full
native area, not just the last page's strip. Fixes the all-white render
on paged panels (1.54" Uno, 4.2" Pico, 7.5" ESP32).
* Add an isBwr option: B/W panels treat 0x26 as a 2nd mono plane (white
only if both planes white), tri-colour panels keep red-wins.
* Default the active window to display geometry; the firmware overrides it.
- EPaperPart.ts: pass isBwr = cfg.palette === 'bwr' to the decoder.
- esp32_spi_slaves.py / esp32_worker.py: mirror the byte-aware rotation +
window-union in the worker, and derive is_bwr from panel_kind on the
runtime sensor_attach path too (fixes the tri-colour ESP32 alert badge).
- test_epaper/ssd168x_decoder.py: re-port the golden reference to match
(keeps the 3-way TS/Python/worker identity invariant). Tests updated to
construct tri-colour cases with is_bwr/palette='bwr'.
- examples-displays-epaper.ts: the Pico VCC wire referenced '3V3(OUT)',
which the velxio-pi-pico-w element doesn't expose (it has '3V3'), so the
wire snapped to the board corner. Use '3V3'.
A tag-based 'Retro' tab (next to All) collects the Z80 / Intel / vintage-CPU
examples via their 'retro' tag, regardless of board filter (they still also
appear under Digital). One-file change: BOARD_TABS + an isRetro predicate
special-cased in the filter and the tab count.

Reported: on a running circuit, clicking a pushbutton SELECTED the wire under it
instead of pressing the button — and you could still move wires / pick pins to
make connections during a run.
Root cause: component dragging was already locked during a run, but the
canvas-level onClick (wire selection via findWireNearPoint) wasn't — so a click
on a button bubbled to the canvas and selected the wire. The button press itself
fired (shadow DOM), but the wire-select made it feel broken.
Gate every EDIT interaction on the existing interactionRunning predicate while
keeping part interaction (buttons/switches/pots) and pan/zoom:
- canvas onClick wire-selection + onDoubleClick waypoint-insert
- wire segment / waypoint drag handles (mouse + touch)
- pin-click wire creation
- touch tap wire-selection
- hide the PinOverlay (was gated on !running, so board-less runs still showed
clickable pins) and skip wire-hover highlighting while running
- clear any wire/component selection when a run starts so leftover handles don't
linger over the live circuit
Component drag + property dialog were already gated on interactionRunning; this
extends the same 'freeze to edit, run to interact' model to wires and pins.

Phase 4 of the run-system work. The compile console now groups output into a
section per run target (board or chip) with a status glyph and label, the way
multiple Arduinos already stream — instead of one flat list.
- CompilationLog gains an optional target { id, label, kind: 'board'|'chip' }.
message/type are unchanged so the pro overlay (diagnose-with-AI prompt +
errorCount slot) and the console's length-based clear/auto-error heuristics
are untouched. parseCompileResult stamps the target on every produced line.
- Producers stamp their lines: compileAllBoards (per-board, dropping the old
'<label>: ' string prefix the header now carries), prepareCustomChips
(per-chip, WASM + ROM), handleCompile + handleRun MicroPython (single board) —
including the Pi / MicroPython / FQBN / error paths so a target's lines never
fragment across sections.
- CompilationConsole groups filteredLogs into consecutive-run sections at RENDER
time only (the flat array is unchanged); each target section shows ✓/✕/▸ +
name + kind tag, with no-target lines ('Compiling all targets', 'Done') as
plain narration around them.
Reviewed by an adversarial pass; the flagged un-stamped edge paths (Pi /
MicroPython / single-board errors) are now stamped.

Phase 3 of the run-system work. Generalises the boards-only Compile-All/Run-All
to RUN TARGETS = boards + programmable custom-chips, so a board+chip or several
chips compile and run together, the same way multiple Arduinos do.
- targetCount = boards + programmable chips; the Compile-All/Run-All buttons now
appear when targetCount > 1 (was boards.length > 1). Cheap string predicate
(no JSON.parse) since the selector runs on every sim tick.
- compileAllBoards builds chips (WASM+ROM) AND boards; works with zero boards;
prepareCustomChips now returns a failure count folded into the Done summary so
a failed chip no longer shows green / calls markCompiled.
- handleRunAll: compiles all targets, starts every board, then restartParts() so
chips pick up fresh WASM/ROM, and resumes the electrical solver when NO board
actually started (board-less, or a board that compiled to nothing) so chips
aren't left frozen.
Review fixes (2-agent adversarial pass):
- Stop now stops EVERY running board (Run-All can start several); otherwise a
non-active board kept the chip ticking after Stop.
- Run-All / Stop disabled gates use anyBoardRunning (+ digitalRunning) instead of
the flat active-board flag, which misreports multi-target runs.
- shared isQemuBoardKind() helper so handleRun and handleRunAll can't drift.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 2 of the run-system/UX work.
- BoardInstance gains an optional user ; boardDisplayName(board) resolver
(name || kind label) routes every INSTANCE-label surface: file-explorer
section header, compile console (EditorToolbar), canvas selector/tooltip/
context-menu, Serial Monitor tabs, Oscilloscope board picker, Board Options
subtitle. Board/component pickers keep the KIND label (they pick new boards).
- Inline rename on board AND chip section headers (double-click the name, or a
hover pencil button). Board -> updateBoard(id,{name}); chip -> chipName in
properties. Enter commits, Escape cancels (cancel-flag ref guards the
unmount-fires-onBlur footgun), empty clears to the kind / 'Custom Chip'.
- FileTabs shows an owner badge naming the board/chip whose files are shown
(resolved as a selector so it doesn't re-render on every sim pin toggle).
- CustomChipDialog no longer clobbers a user-given chipName: chip.json's name
only seeds the blank defaults (My Chip / Custom Chip); loading an example
relabels explicitly.
- Persistence: board name round-trips via projectPayload (+ dirty hash),
vlxFile, ProjectByIdPage load + loadProjectState; chipName rides components_json.
- Drive-by: fixed a pre-existing rules-of-hooks violation in BoardOptionsModal
(early return before a useCallback).
Reviewed by a 3-agent adversarial pass (completeness / persistence / correctness);
all major findings folded in.

The pushbutton SPICE mapper reads pins '1.l' and '2.l', but killbits/counter
wired the power side to '2.r' (an un-unioned sub-pin), so netLookup('2.l')
returned null and the button was omitted from the netlist entirely — pressing
did nothing electrically board-less. Wire the power side via '2.l' so the
button becomes a real (pressed -> 0.01 ohm) bridge to VCC, which the pull-down
+ connectChipInputsToSolve then turn into a HIGH the chip reads.
