{
q : 'What is an Arduino emulator?' ,
a : 'An Arduino emulator reproduces the behavior of a physical Arduino microcontroller in software — CPU instruction execution, peripheral registers (GPIO, USART, ADC, timers, PWM), and interrupts — with no hardware required.' ,
} ,
{
q : 'How accurate is Velxio\'s Arduino emulation?' ,
a : 'Velxio uses avr8js, which provides cycle-accurate AVR8 instruction emulation. Every AVR opcode is faithfully emulated at 16 MHz, making it reliable for developing and debugging real firmware before flashing to hardware.' ,
} ,
{
q : 'Which Arduino boards can Velxio emulate?' ,
2026-03-23 23:38:56 +07:00
a : 'Arduino Uno (ATmega328P), Arduino Nano, Arduino Mega 2560 (ATmega2560), ATtiny85 (AVR8), Arduino Leonardo (ATmega32u4), Arduino Pro Mini, Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W (RP2040), and multiple ESP32/RISC-V boards. 19 boards across 5 CPU architectures.' ,
2026-03-23 23:32:15 +07:00
} ,
{
q : 'What peripherals are emulated?' ,
a : 'GPIO ports (PORTB, PORTC, PORTD), hardware timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2), 8/16-bit PWM, USART serial, 10-bit ADC (analog inputs), SPI, and I2C. All standard Arduino library functions work correctly.' ,
} ,
{
q : 'How is Velxio different from Wokwi?' ,
a : 'Velxio is fully self-hosted and open-source under GNU AGPLv3. It uses the same avr8js emulation library as Wokwi but runs entirely on your own machine — no cloud dependency, no registration, no subscription.' ,
