Fixes the user-reported bug where two RPi Pico W boards wired GP0↔GP1
running SerialPassthrough don't communicate. Replaces the broken
broadcast-style cross-board logic in addBoard (only routed AVR↔Pi3B,
ignored wires entirely, no RP2040↔anything path) with a wire-aware
Interconnect singleton.
Architecture: digital pin transitions are the lowest-common-denominator
abstraction. Each simulator's hardware peripherals (UART/I2C/SPI) and
bit-banging libraries (SoftwareSerial, software I2C) decode the
transitions naturally — propagate the pin and the protocols come for
free. For cross-process boards (ESP32 backend QEMU, Pi3B QEMU) a
byte-level shortcut is additionally enabled on hardware-UART pin
pairs to handle high-baud links over WebSocket latency.
Implementation:
- New simulation/Interconnect.ts singleton subscribes to wire/board
changes via the Zustand store. Handlers per tier: browser-sim →
pinManager.onPinChange, ESP32 → Esp32Bridge.sendPinEvent, Pi3B →
bridge.sendPinEvent. Re-entrancy guard via per-(board,pin) Set.
- New utils/boardProtocols.ts classifies pins (uart-tx, i2c-sda, etc.)
per board kind, used as optimization hint for the byte shortcut.
- types/wire.ts: added signalType field, exports WireSignalType /
WireColorMap (fixes a pre-existing TS import error in wireColors).
- Deleted the bridgeMap/simulatorMap broadcast forEach blocks in
addBoard. Initial board + future boards register with Interconnect
via setInterconnectRuntime + store subscription.
- PinManager.resetPinStates() helper for test isolation.
Tests (16 new files, 96 tests, all passing):
- Per-pair × per-protocol matrix: dual-arduino-digital,
dual-pico-digital, arduino-pico-digital, triple-pico-digital-chain,
dual-arduino-hw-uart, dual-arduino-software-serial,
arduino-pico-mixed-uart, arduino-esp32-uart, dual-esp32-uart,
pi3-pico-uart, arduino-pico-i2c, arduino-arduino-spi,
interconnect-routing, dual-arduino-multi-protocol (UART+I2C+SPI+
digital + concurrent), dual-pico-multi-protocol (UART0+UART1 alt+
I2C0+I2C1+SPI0+digital + 3-Pico star topology)
- Updated dual-pico-serial-passthrough to assert correct behaviour
- Backend test/multi_board_esp32/test_dual_esp32_serial.py for two
real QEMU instances (skip-graceful when lcgamboa lib absent)
Verified: 1107/1107 tests pass, zero regressions, vite build OK.

Track per-user, per-project, and per-board usage to inform pricing tier
decisions. Adds an admin dashboard with KPIs (DAU/WAU/MAU, totals,
success rate), time-series charts for compiles/runs, board family +
FQBN breakdowns, "board diversity" pie chart (key freemium signal),
top users/projects, and per-country breakdown via Cloudflare's
CF-IPCountry header. Admin can now also view private projects.
Backend:
- New UsageEvent table (append-only event log with user_id, project_id,
event_type, board_fqbn/family, country, error_kind, duration_ms)
- Aggregate counters on User (total_compiles/runs/errors, last_active,
signup_country, last_country) and Project (compile/run/update counts,
last_compiled/run timestamps) kept in sync by MetricsService for O(1)
dashboard reads
- 10 admin endpoints under /api/admin/metrics/{overview, timeseries,
boards, board-diversity, top-users, top-projects, countries,
users/{id}, projects/{id}}
- POST /api/metrics/run for client-side run telemetry
- Country detection via cf-ipcountry header (no DB / no API calls)
- Auto-migrations in lifespan for legacy DBs
Frontend:
- recharts-powered Dashboard tab with KPI cards and 4 charts
- New Boards tab with per-family + per-FQBN breakdown
- Country column with flag emoji on Users tab
- Top countries card on Dashboard
- compileCode now forwards project_id; Run button reports via WS

Mirrors the /v2 page structure but targets the 2.5 launch: ngspice-WASM
analog simulation, hybrid digital + analog co-simulation with Arduino /
ESP32 / RP2040, expanded component catalog, live instruments, 40 new
analog/hybrid examples.
- Reuses Velxio2Page.css + SEOPage.css — no new stylesheet to maintain
- Adds SoftwareApplication, BreadcrumbList, and FAQPage JSON-LD for
rich-results eligibility
- Registers the route in App, entry-server (SSR prerender), and
seoRoutes (sitemap, priority 0.95 / changefreq weekly)
The SPICE emitter already reads properties.lux (default 500, 100 nA/lux)
but the UI had no way to set it — the static dialog rejected the "range"
control type and there was no entry in SENSOR_CONTROLS for the live panel.
- Add photodiode entry in SENSOR_CONTROLS (slider 0-1000 lux)
- Register a minimal PartSimulationRegistry handler that forwards slider
values via emitPropertyChange so the netlist memo invalidates
- Switch the photodiode lux control from "range" to "number" so the
static ComponentPropertyDialog renders an editable input
Loading an analog-only example removes every board. The single-board
branch of loadExample then called setBoardType, which only maps over
existing entries in boards[] and silently did nothing when the array
was empty — components rendered but no board. Fall back to addBoard +
setActiveBoardId when there are no boards.
- Modified the index file to reflect the new naming convention for Velxio components.
- Changed JSX declarations to use 'velxio-' prefix for various components.
- Updated component overrides to replace 'wokwi-' with 'velxio-' for logic gates and other components.
- Adjusted SVG generation script to use 'velxio-' prefix for BMP280 and Raspberry Pi components.
- Marked submodules as dirty in QEMU and RP2040 libraries.
- Added .prettierignore and .prettierrc.json for consistent code formatting.
- Introduced InstrumentComponent with support for Voltmeter and Ammeter, including pin information handling.
- Introduced RelayElements for SPDT relay representation.
- Added Resistor component for adjustable resistance in ohms.
- Created RiscVBoard component for visualizing a RISC-V chip.
- Implemented TransistorElements for BJT and MOSFET packages.
- Added Capacitor and CapacitorElectrolytic elements for capacitors.
- Introduced Inductor element for inductor representation.
- Updated index file to export new custom elements.
- Implemented a script to inject passive-component preset variants into `scripts/component-overrides.json`, including resistors, capacitors, and inductors with custom names and thumbnails.
- Added a new custom element `<wokwi-capacitor-electrolytic>` representing a polarized aluminum-can capacitor with appropriate SVG representation.
- Updated metadata generation to accommodate new component names and thumbnails for better user experience in the component picker.
- Marked submodules `qemu-lcgamboa` and `rp2040js` as dirty to reflect local changes.
- Replaced syncStoreProperty function with emitPropertyChange to decouple parts from Zustand store.
- Updated relay component mapping to ensure proper handling of coil and contact states.
- Added new test cases for half-wave rectifier and relay-controlled LED to ensure correct functionality.
- Introduced InlineComponentSVGs for schematic-style icons of various components.
- Updated submodule references for qemu-lcgamboa, rp2040js, and wokwi-elements to indicate dirty state.
- Implement `ammeter-waveform.test.ts` to validate AC readings from a sine wave source.
- Create `capacitor-charge-transient.test.ts` to test the charging response of an RC circuit driven by a microcontroller pin.
- Introduce `esp32-rectifier-integration.test.ts` for testing rectifier behavior using QEMU and ESP32.
- Add helper functions in `esp32RectifierE2E.ts` for the rectifier test harness.
- Develop `voltmeter-waveform.test.ts` to ensure correct AC and DC readings from a sine wave source.
- Implement unit tests for waveform statistics in `waveform-stats.test.ts` to validate RMS, mean, peak, and interpolation functions.
- Create `waveformStats.ts` to provide statistical functions for time-domain waveform analysis.
- Implement `serial-batching.test.ts` to verify the behavior of `createSerialBatcher`, ensuring it coalesces multiple appends into a single flush, preserves byte order, and groups by board.
- Create `spice-rectifier-integration.test.ts` to test the end-to-end functionality of the Half-Wave Rectifier example, covering the entire simulation pipeline from input building to circuit solving.
- Add `spice-rectifier-live-repro.test.ts` to reproduce a live-app failure scenario, tracing through each layer of the simulation to identify potential failure points.
- Introduce `spice-signal-generator-tran.test.ts` to validate the behavior of the signal generator and ensure correct analysis type switching based on circuit components.
- Establish `serialBatcher.ts` to implement a batching mechanism for USART output, reducing the frequency of store updates and preventing React's maximum update depth error.
- Decoupled electrical simulation from the simulator store, ensuring SPICE is always active for accurate circuit analysis.
- Removed feature flag for electrical simulation, simplifying the state management.
- Preloaded SPICE engine at app start to eliminate latency during the first solve.
- Added comprehensive tests for MOSFET PWM LED behavior and NPN transistor switch functionality, ensuring correct current flow and response to pin states.

fix: increase timeout for compilation requests to 180 seconds
refactor: call recalculateAllWirePositions after loading examples
chore: update subproject commit for rp2040js to dirty state
chore: update subproject commit for wokwi-elements to dirty state
generate-sitemap.mjs was only scanning examples.ts for example IDs using a
textual regex. With the 40 new circuit examples living in a separate file
(examples-circuits.ts), they were missing from the generated sitemap.xml
and therefore invisible to search engines / SSR prerender URL list.
Now the generator reads both source files and merges their example IDs.
Also includes auto-applied formatting changes to generate-component-metadata.ts.

Previously examples.ts pushed to exampleProjects[] after declaration, which
some bundlers can treat as dead code under aggressive tree-shaking. This
also made HMR unreliable when examples-circuits.ts changed.
Now:
const legacyExamples = [...]
export const exampleProjects = [...legacyExamples, ...circuitExamples]
Single immutable export. Guaranteed to include all 150 examples at import
time. The gallery (ExamplesGallery.tsx) and SSR prerender (entry-server.tsx)
both pick up the new circuit examples automatically.
Also adds frontend/src/__tests__/examples-circuits.test.ts with 5 assertions
to catch future regressions (all circuit ids present, no duplicates, valid
required fields, expected categories covered).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds frontend/src/data/examples-circuits.ts with 40 new examples organized
into 6 categories, each demonstrating a specific analog/digital/electromech
concept that the SPICE engine can simulate end-to-end:
PASSIVE / ANALOG (10):
voltage-divider, rc-low-pass-filter, wheatstone-bridge,
ntc-temperature, led-current-limiting, parallel-resistors,
pot-adc-reader, photoresistor-light, multi-led-bar,
capacitor-charge-curve
TRANSISTOR / SEMICONDUCTOR (8):
npn-led-switch, pnp-high-side-switch, mosfet-pwm-led,
diode-rectifier, zener-regulator, schottky-reverse-protection,
bjt-common-emitter, darlington-high-current
OP-AMP (5):
opamp-inverting, opamp-voltage-follower, opamp-comparator,
opamp-difference, opamp-schmitt-trigger
LOGIC GATES (6):
and-gate-alarm, xor-toggle-detector, nand-sr-latch,
full-adder, binary-counter-leds, logic-probe
ELECTROMECHANICAL (4):
relay-led-switch, optocoupler-signal,
l293d-motor-control, l293d-speed-pwm
POWER / REGULATOR (3):
power-supply-7805, lm317-adjustable-psu, battery-voltage-monitor
BOARD-SPECIFIC (4):
esp32-dual-adc, mega-multi-led, nano-sensor-station,
esp32-pwm-led-rgb (uses ESP32 LEDC peripheral)
The new examples are appended to exampleProjects[] in examples.ts so the
existing gallery and category filters pick them up automatically.
test/test_circuit/test/spice_examples.test.js validates each example's
analog topology in ngspice — 45 individual assertions covering all 40
examples (plus extra cases for NTC/Zener sweeps and L293D direction).
Sandbox tally: 164 -> 209 tests, 7.9s runtime, all green.

Electrical simulation is now active by default (mode='spice' instead of
'off') — users no longer need to toggle the mode on manually. The engine
lazy-loads on first solve, so there is no startup cost penalty.
Changes:
- useElectricalStore: default mode = 'spice' when ELECTRICAL_SIM_ENABLED
- subscribeToStore: ADC_PIN_MAP expanded to all 18 board types (Uno, Nano,
Mega with 16 ADC channels, ATtiny85, RP2040 GP26-29, ESP32/S3/C3 GPIO
ADCs). Voltages from SPICE solutions now inject into MCU ADC peripherals
for all boards.
- BasicParts LED: reads branchCurrents from useElectricalStore when SPICE
is active. Brightness = clamp(|I_led| / 20mA, 0, 1) instead of boolean.
Subscribes to store changes to update in real time.
- ElectricalOverlay: shows per-wire voltage labels (gold monospace on dark
pill) using buildWireNetMap() which replicates the NetlistBuilder's
Union-Find to map wireId -> netName -> nodeVoltage. Summary pill shows
net count + solve time.
- NetlistBuilder: new export buildWireNetMap() for lightweight wire-to-net
resolution without running ngspice.

Adds 44 SPICE mappers, 58 custom metadata entries, and 12 visual
Web Components covering logic gates, transistors, op-amps, regulators,
sources, electromechanical parts and integrated-circuit packaging.
Fase 9 — component catalog expansion
------------------------------------
- 7 logic gates (AND/OR/NAND/NOR/XOR/XNOR + NOT) as SPICE B-sources
- 8 multi-input gates (AND/OR/NAND/NOR with 3 and 4 inputs)
- 9 transistors: 5 BJTs (incl. PNP 2N3906/BC557) + 4 MOSFETs (incl.
P-channel IRF9540/FQP27P06). NMOS refactored from Level=3 W=0.1
(hangs ngspice) to Level=1 with sane W/L
- 5 op-amps: LM358, LM741, TL072, LM324 with per-chip saturation
rails + opamp-ideal
- 4 linear regulators (7805, 7812, 7905, LM317) with dropout
- 3 batteries (9V, AA, coin-cell) with realistic ESR
- Signal generator (sine / square / DC)
- 2 Schottky diodes (1N5817, 1N5819) + photodiode (lux-driven
current source)
Fase 10 — electromechanical + ICs
---------------------------------
- Relay (SPDT): coil + L + S-switch with native hysteresis +
flyback diode, inverted-control trick for the NC contact
- Optocouplers 4N25 and PC817 (LED + CCCS with CTR=0.5 / 1.0)
- 7 74HC ICs as DIP-14 packages emitting 4 or 6 B-sources per
component (first mapper pattern emitting multiple device cards)
- 3 flip-flops (D, T, JK) — digital-sim only (edge detection is
not representable in ngspice .op)
- L293D dual H-bridge motor driver
Infrastructure
--------------
- scripts/component-overrides.json gains a _customComponents[] array
that lets new Velxio-only parts survive metadata regeneration
(previously applyOverrides() could only patch wokwi-elements
components that had already been scanned)
- scripts/generate-component-metadata.ts injects custom entries
before the patch loop
- New ComponentCategory values: 'logic', 'analog', 'electromech'
- frontend/src/components/DynamicComponent.tsx PASSIVE tracing
extended from just ['resistor','resistor-us'] to 9 two-terminal
passives with per-part pin name maps
- New CI workflow test-circuit.yml runs the sandbox on push/PR
- frontend-tests.yml regenerates metadata and fails if committed
JSON is stale
- Documented 2 new ngspice gotchas in circuit-emulation-gotchas.md:
unicode in netlist titles silently hangs the parser, and
MOSFET Level=3 + W=0.1m causes .op to hang
- 164/164 sandbox tests passing in ~9 s (was 88 pre-fase-9)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

refactor: Update wiring examples for E32 OLED integration; correct pin mappings for VCC, GND, DATA, and CLK
test: Improve unit tests for ESPIDFCompiler; add scenarios for library resolution and CMake patching
chore: Mark subproject commits as dirty for wokwi-libs
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.
- Updated the threshold for switching to data mode in MPU6050Slave from 2 to 3 WHO_AM_I reads to ensure correct chip identification.
- Enhanced comments in the code to clarify the sequence of I2C events during initialization.
- Added a new test file `test_mpu6050_emulation.py` to validate the MPU6050Slave state machine and ensure it handles the full Adafruit_MPU6050::begin() event sequence correctly.
- Updated existing tests to reflect the changes in the I2C handling logic.
- Modified `components-metadata.json` to update the generated timestamp.
- Marked submodules `rp2040js` and `wokwi-elements` as dirty to reflect local changes.
Two bugs causing "can't save project" reports:
1. SaveProjectModal: validate currentProject.id is a real UUID before
calling updateProject. If id is "none" or any non-UUID string, fall
through to createProject instead, avoiding PUT /api/projects/none.
2. ProjectByIdPage: call clearCurrentProject() when the project fetch
fails (404/403/error). Prevents stale project IDs from a previous
session polluting the store and triggering spurious update calls.
- 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.
