You bought an Arduino, What now?

This Arduino Simulator is different from all the other simulators. If you don’t have components like sensors, LEDs..., then this program will simulate the components for you. You need a real Arduino board for testing your programs with your computer and just change some codes to work with the simulator components.

You can drag and drop the components in a worksheet and you can draw everything you want around it. It is also possible to load a background into the worksheet. You can also combine simulated inputs/outputs from the pc and real Arduino IO, now you have made a little HMI (Human Machine Interface).

Arduino Simulator

Designed for people in hardware need!

The Arduino Simulator has been drastically changed the way you use a simulator. By communicating with the Arduino board we can simulate the IO on your screen. It's designed to optimally simulate your (IO) projects with a graphic aspect on top.

The Simulator has a lot of components that are available to test your projects, we have even been able to integrate more parts into this simulator than ever before. If you want a specific sensor then we can build this for you in our simulator.

We provided enough components so you can simulate your project or replace the missing parts with software ones. To make everything as easy as possible we created a library that allows users to simulate there project with just adding that library.

Features

The Arduino Simulator has many well-known components built in that you can use for your simulations. The pro version has all the components from the free one plus the list below. Just drag the parts to the worksheet and you're done.

  • Hall effect sensor
  • RGB Led with RGB sliders)
  • IR Remote Control
  • 2 servo motors
  • 2 motors (left & right turning with PWM)
  • 1 Barrier (servo)
  • A DHT11 temperature sensor (temperature & humidity)
  • PIR motion detector
  • Motion detector (motion detection on webcam)
  • Number keypad 16 digits (4x4)
  • Stepper Motor 28 BYJ48
  • 8 relais
  • 6 potentiometers (sliders)

Drag & Drop

Drag the parts in place with our drag & drop system

The border of the component will turn red, this means that you can drag it into the drawing sheet. The top side and sometimes the component itself is used to reduce the component, this causes the settings to disappear so you get more space to use.

Draw and create your own simulation in a more realistic way

The simulator has got a big redesign and we added drawing tools as well. You can choose between various types of arrows, circles, rectangles, squares… in every color you want.

There is also a possibility to place texts in different fonts of your choice to make realistic simulations.

Arduino Simulator

Easy to use library

Just add the library and you're good to go

In order to let the Simulator understand the code, we changed the libraries to be compatible with our simulator. To maintain the usability, we have decided to keep all the instructions as they are, you just have to add the simulator library and you're ready to simulate.

Simulate through serial or TCP

It is possible with the TCP server/client communication to simulate the IO with a ethernet shield or through WiFi connection. There are some thernet/Wifi boards that work with the simulator. You can use a Geekcreit W5100 wifi shield or the Arduino UNO Wifi rev2.

TCP simulation has the advantage that if the port forwarding is set correctly in the router you can operate the simulation from anywhere through the public IP address. Everything is explained in the user manual and support page.

Arduino Simulator

Simulate the IO on your screen

Write your project in the Arduino IDE. Add the Simulator library and change the codes. Upload the code to the Arduino board. Select your inputs and outputs in the simulator. Simulate your project.

Use your creativity to make a realistic simulation of your project without having to connect the IO on the board. It's also possible to connect real IO and combine them with virtual IO.

This Simulator is built for beginners and creators

Test your code whenever you want

Whether you are building an Arduino project or just started working with Arduino, you can use this simulator to test your ideas without any electrical or almost no components. We have the most used parts available and we are still developing new parts.
