Minimal Arduino simulator, debug your project on your laptop.

Arduino Simulator Framework

This is a small wrapper I use to be able to debug arduino code locally on my laptop.

This Framework is not intended as a full arduino emulator, it will do the minimal work to make code compile and link. It will probably not even work.

Currently some SPI stuff works, some of the FastLED stuff works, some of the SdFat stuff works.

There is one major code incompatibility with the arduino environment: This simulator needs your code to follow the normal C++ rules for declaration order. Meaning: you will have to declare or define a function before you use it.

Host Platform

The Makefile currently only knows how to find the arduino files on MacOS, I have not yet investigated where the arduino code and files live on Linux or Windows systems.

How to use

build a SampleProject:

make SampleProject

If you want to build MyProject, which uses systemlibrary XYZ and installed library KLM, you can build it like this:

USEDLIBS=KLM SYSLIBS=XYZ  make  MyProject

When either KLM or XYZ has .cpp files which need to be linked to your project, you will have to extend the Makefile, like i did with the arduino-fat library.

Example

make fastleddemo
./fastleddemo

Configuration

Adding CFLAGS=-DVERBOSE will add output for delay and loop. Add this as an environment variable before callling make, like this:

CFLAGS=-DVERBOSE make MyProject
