wokwi-features VS arduino-create-agent

No, no - I have a half a dozen RPi's of varying revisions. Since they run Linux and the SDcards are less than robust, anytime you accidentially trip the power (which to me happens several times during hardware debugging sessions) you risk scrambling the rootfs and thus need to reflash a new SDcard. Some SDcards get damaged.

I recommend using Arduino and/or Wokwi (https://wokwi.com/) to get started.

More Wokwi Integration: Wokwi is an amazing embedded simulator and is great for getting started quickly. For a learner, there's no need for toolchain setup or even the purchase of hardware. There are many features as well that make it quite a flexible tool supporting a lot of features right from the browser. Users can also vote for more features. Still maybe at some point, one might want to tinker with physical hardware. However, at that point, they would have gained some confidence first. Currently, only ESP boards are supported with Rust on Wokwi. I hope for the variety to expand soon.

In addition to the other great suggestions here I wanted to point out that you can practice and learn a lot for free using an online simulator such as wokwi.com and tinkercad.com (among others)! And you don't have to buy an Arduino or any parts to get started!

And you can prototype all of this first to get it working for free using an online simulator at sites like wokwi.com or tinkercad.com!

If you don't have the budget for real hardware consider the simulator at https://wokwi.com/ It works with Rust (at least for ESP32, haven't tried other architectures). Bonus: you can't blow up the electronics by a wiring mistake.

I spent a bit of time today with a few FastLED programs and uploaded them to wokwi.com on a simulated Arduino Nano and a WS2812 strip of 64 LED's (not in a 2D matrix). The chatgpt requests I made were:

https://wokwi.com/ is great for simple, digital only stuff.

https://fritzing.org/ will kind of lay out the PCB for you, but it's kind of a pain in the ass.

Wokwi and Fritzing are more "Breadboard Simulators" than real circuit simulators, but they do have their place.

Another cool thing you may want to try is making a simulator https://wokwi.com/

you can also download it from here, a new version was released just this morning https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/releases/tag/1.3.1

You could use the Online Arduino Editor or something like Wokwi from your Ipad.... but coding on a touchscreen would drive me crazy.... If you have a personal laptop, that's what I would use.

Thanks. This is one of my projects, tried to published it on few sites (including create.arduino.cc), was banned everywhere = "we want to stay out of violence and everything related to that" People are so full of hypocrisy...

Anyway, back to Arduino. Read their official note https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/wiki : "[...]the Arduino Agent performs well in Rosetta 2 mode." So, yeah, it's supported, under emulation.

Hello. I am looking to edit the code of a 2boom speaker arduino so I can change what the buttons do. How can I do this? I've heard that maybe create.arduino.cc is the place to go. Any tips would greatly be appreciated! TIA

Disclaimer, I dont know if the agent is available for Pi, so check that first. its available for linux, but i'm not sure if that includes ARM (i.e. raspberry pi). Of course if you are adventurous enough, you could always build it from source: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent
