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.
- 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.
- Updated ProtocolParts to support ESP32 path for I2C devices.
- 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).

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)
