    q: 'Is this Arduino simulator free?',
    a: 'Yes. Velxio is completely free and open-source (GNU AGPLv3). No account, no payment, no cloud subscription — run it in your browser or self-host it with one Docker command.',
  },
  {
    q: 'Does the Arduino simulator work without installing anything?',
    a: 'The simulation engine runs entirely in your browser. Compiling code requires the arduino-cli backend, which you can run locally or via Docker. No IDE installation is needed.',
  },
  {
    q: 'What Arduino boards can I simulate?',
    a: 'Velxio supports 19 boards: Arduino Uno (ATmega328P), Arduino Nano, Arduino Mega 2560, ATtiny85, Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Pro Mini (AVR8) — plus Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), ESP32-C3 / XIAO ESP32-C3 / CH32V003 (RISC-V), ESP32 / ESP32-S3 / ESP32-CAM (Xtensa via QEMU), and Raspberry Pi 3B (Linux via QEMU).',
  },
  {
    q: 'Can I simulate LEDs, sensors, and displays?',
    a: 'Yes. Velxio includes 48+ interactive wokwi-elements: LEDs, resistors, buttons, servo motors, ultrasonic sensors, ILI9341 TFT displays, LCD, NeoPixel strips, buzzers, DHT22, and more.',
  },
  {
    q: 'Is Velxio a Wokwi alternative?',
    a: 'Yes. Velxio is a free, self-hosted alternative to Wokwi. It uses the same avr8js emulation library and wokwi-elements visual components, but runs entirely on your own machine with no cloud dependency.',
