refactor: Update wiring examples for E32 OLED integration; correct pin mappings for VCC, GND, DATA, and CLK
test: Improve unit tests for ESPIDFCompiler; add scenarios for library resolution and CMake patching
chore: Mark subproject commits as dirty for wokwi-libs
- Implement tests for BMP280, DS1307, DS3231, I2CWriteSink, and MPU6050 slaves in test_i2c_slaves.py.
- Create test suite for Velxio MCP server tools in test_mcp_tools.py, covering Wokwi utilities and circuit management functions.
- Add tests for parsing WiFi and BLE serial output in test_wifi_status_parser.py, ensuring correct status events are captured.
This commit introduces a detailed markdown document outlining the process of simulating DHT22 and HC-SR04 sensors on the ESP32 platform using Velxio's QEMU fork. The documentation covers the context of the simulation, key callbacks, problems encountered, and solutions implemented for both sensors. It includes architectural details, end-to-end testing procedures, and guidelines for adding new GPIO-timed sensors. The aim is to provide maintainers with a thorough understanding of the GPIO logic and the challenges faced during development.
- Updated the threshold for switching to data mode in MPU6050Slave from 2 to 3 WHO_AM_I reads to ensure correct chip identification.
- Enhanced comments in the code to clarify the sequence of I2C events during initialization.
- Added a new test file `test_mpu6050_emulation.py` to validate the MPU6050Slave state machine and ensure it handles the full Adafruit_MPU6050::begin() event sequence correctly.
- Updated existing tests to reflect the changes in the I2C handling logic.
- Modified `components-metadata.json` to update the generated timestamp.
- Marked submodules `rp2040js` and `wokwi-elements` as dirty to reflect local changes.
- Introduced I2C_SENSOR_MAP for pre-registering I2C sensors in the simulator store.
- Implemented I2C slave state machines for MPU6050, BMP280, DS1307, and DS3231 sensors in esp32_i2c_slaves.py.
- Added unit tests for I2C slave functionality covering BMP280, DS1307, DS3231, and I2CWriteSink.
- Updated the simulator store to handle I2C address resolution and sensor data management.
- Marked submodules as dirty in wokwi-libs for rp2040js and wokwi-elements.
- Implemented _MPU6050Slave and _BMP280Slave classes for I2C communication.
- Enhanced main function to register these sensors and handle I2C events.
- Updated sensor management to support MPU-6050, BMP280, DS1307, DS3231, SSD1306, and PCF8574.
- Added frontend examples for BMP280 weather station and SSD1306 OLED display.
- Modified Esp32Bridge to handle new I2C transaction events.

- Enhanced useSimulatorStore to manage I2C transaction listeners.
Two fixes for ESP32 WiFi not connecting in production:
1. espidf_compiler.py: Change WiFi normalization from 'Velxio-GUEST' on
channel 6 to 'Espressif' on channel 5. The lcgamboa QEMU binary
downloaded from GitHub Releases only contains the original three APs:
PICSimLabWifi (ch1), Espressif (ch5), MasseyWifi (ch10). Channel 6
had no matching AP, so the beacon timer's channel-match condition never
fired → firmware scanned forever and never connected.
2. esp32_worker.py: Redirect fd 1 to /dev/null before loading QEMU so
raw UART bytes from QEMU's -nographic mux don't corrupt the JSON
event pipe. The real pipe fd is saved and sys.stdout is rebound so
_emit() continues to work. This also prevents stdout pipe back-pressure
from stalling qemu_main_loop() (and thus REALTIME timers).

Frontend WiFi detection via file-content scanning was unreliable because
fileGroups[board.activeFileGroupId] could be an empty array (not null),
bypassing the ?? fallback to editorState.files.
Fix: the ESP-IDF compiler now returns has_wifi:bool in its compile response.
The frontend stores this on the BoardInstance and uses it in startBoard()
instead of scanning file contents. The file-content scan is kept as a
fallback for boards that haven't been compiled in this session.

_build_env() on Linux only set IDF_TOOLS_PATH but never added the tool
binary directories to PATH, so cmake could not find riscv32-esp-elf-g++
when compiling for ESP32-C3. Also improve ninja failure logging to show
stdout (where build errors actually appear) instead of empty stderr.

- Dockerfile: download pre-built .so + ROM from velxio public release
instead of building from private qemu-lcgamboa source
- espidf_compiler: normalize any WiFi SSID → "Velxio-GUEST" for QEMU
compatibility (channel 6, open auth)
- docker-compose.yml: unified dev/prod using Dockerfile.standalone
- .dockerignore: exclude qemu-lcgamboa source from Docker context
- .gitignore: ignore prebuilt/ binaries, keep .gitkeep

Replace arduino-cli with ESP-IDF 4.4.7 for ESP32 compilation — Arduino-compiled
firmware crashes in QEMU (9-28 reboots) while ESP-IDF boots cleanly (0 reboots).
The new espidf_compiler translates Arduino WiFi/WebServer sketches to native
ESP-IDF C code, compiles with cmake+ninja, and merges into 4MB flash images.
Key changes:
- ESP-IDF compiler: translates WiFi.begin/WebServer to esp_wifi/esp_http_server
- ESP-IDF project template with QEMU-optimized sdkconfig (DIO, 40MHz, no WDT)
- WiFi status parser for ESP-IDF serial logs (wifi_status, ble_status events)
- IoT Gateway HTTP reverse proxy for ESP32 web servers
- WiFi/BLE auto-detection from sketch content + visual status icons
- Static IP 192.168.4.15 matching slirp DHCP first-client range
- Docker: new espidf-builder stage with ESP-IDF 4.4.7 toolchain
- 157 tests covering WiFi/BLE for both ESP32 (Xtensa) and ESP32-C3 (RISC-V)
