Components Reference

Velxio ships with 48+ interactive electronic components powered by wokwi-elements. All components can be placed on the simulation canvas, connected with wires, and interact with your Arduino sketch in real time.


Adding Components

  1. Click the + button on the simulation canvas.
  2. Use search or browse by category in the component picker.
  3. Click a component to place it on the canvas.
  4. Drag to reposition; click to open the Property Dialog (pin roles, Arduino pin assignment, rotate, delete).

Connecting Components

  1. Click a pin on any component — a wire starts from that pin.
  2. Click a destination pin to complete the connection.
  3. Wires are color-coded by signal type:
Color Signal type
🔴 Red VCC (power)
Black GND (ground)
🔵 Blue Analog
🟢 Green Digital
🟣 Purple PWM
🟡 Gold I2C (SDA/SCL)
🟠 Orange SPI (MOSI/MISO/SCK)
🩵 Cyan USART (TX/RX)
