Esp32-Development-Sim-Tool

Project Overview

This web application provides an interactive interface for configuring ESP-32 microcontroller pins. The tool assists developers in properly setting up their ESP-32 projects by generating boilerplate code based on their pin configuration selections.

Key Features

Visual Pin Selection Interface: Interactive representation of all ESP-32 pins with clear labeling

Pin Configuration System:

Select from multiple functions (GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, etc.)

Configure pin modes (digital input/output, analog, etc.)

Add custom names and descriptions for each pin

Code Generation:

Automatic generation of initialization code for individual pins

Complete setup function template for all configured pins

Validation of pin assignments for conflicts

Integrated Development Environment:

Built-in terminal for immediate feedback

Code validation before deployment

Support for common ESP-IDF and Arduino frameworks

ESP32 Pin Configuration Simulator

Project Overview

A web-based ESP32 pin configuration tool that allows developers to:

• Visually configure ESP32 pins with different modes (GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART)
• Generate Arduino-compatible code templates
• Validate code syntax before deployment
• Test configurations without physical hardware

Features

• Interactive Pin Configuration:

  • Visual representation of ESP32 pins
  • Pin-specific configuration options
  • Custom variable naming and descriptions

• Code Generation:

  • Automatic template generation
  • Setup/Loop structure
  • Pin mode initialization

• Code Validation:

  • Syntax checking
  • Pin usage verification
  • Common ESP32 function detection

Installation

Web Version (No Installation Required)

The application runs directly in modern browsers:

1. Open index.html in your preferred browser
2. Start configuring your ESP32 pins

Development Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Flapjacode/Esp32-Sim-Tool.git
cd Esp32-Sim-Tool

2. Install dependencies (if using Node.js server):

npm install

3. Start the development server:

npm start

4. Open in browser:

http://localhost:3000

Usage

1. Configure Pins:

   • Click on any ESP32 pin to select it
   • Choose the appropriate mode from the dropdown
   • Assign a variable name and description

2. Generate Code:

   • Click "Generate Template" to create starter code
   • The editor will populate with properly configured pin setups

3. Validate Code:

   • Click "Validate Code" to check for common errors
   • The output panel will show validation results

4. Export Code:

   • Copy the generated code directly from the editor
   • Paste into your Arduino IDE or PlatformIO project
