Simulator Examples
Browse 175 circuit and microcontroller examples for ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico, STM32 and analog SPICE circuits. 171 of them open right now in the Sensbench simulator with code and wiring pre-loaded — no hardware, no install, no account.
Getting Started 17
Start here if you have never wired anything. LEDs, buttons, serial — the rites of passage.
ESP32, ESP32-C3 & CAM 36
WiFi, BLE, sensors and displays on the ESP32 family — the same chips that ship in our kits.
Arduino Uno 11
The classic starting point: digital I/O, analog reads and Serial Monitor basics on the ATmega328P.
Arduino Nano & Mega 10
Same AVR brain, different bodies — Nano for breadboards, Mega for when you run out of pins.
ATtiny85 4
Eight pins, 8 KB of flash. Small enough to force tight code.
Raspberry Pi Pico 21
RP2040 projects: dual-core ARM at 133 MHz, PIO, and the friendliest ADC in the lineup.
Pico W — WiFi Projects 4
Web servers, WebSockets and relays over WiFi on the Pico W.
STM32 25
Blue Pill, Black Pill and friends — ARM Cortex-M boards with far more timers than an Uno.
Raspberry Pi 3 / 4 / 5 6
Full Linux on a Raspberry Pi, driving GPIO from Python.
Multi-Board Communication 4
Two boards in one simulation — watch them talk over UART, GPIO and handshakes.
Analog & SPICE Circuits 23
Real SPICE simulation: dividers, filters, op-amps, rectifiers — with an oscilloscope on every node.
Logic, Power & Motor Drivers 14
Gates, latches, adders, motor drivers and power supplies — the glue between digital and analog.
Questions, answered
Are these simulator examples really free?
Yes. Every example on this page runs for free in your browser. There is no account, no install and no paywall — pick a card and it opens with the full code and wiring ready to run.
Do I need any real hardware?
No. The simulator emulates the actual chips — AVR, ARM, RISC-V and Xtensa — so the same sketch you run here works on the real board. When you do want hardware, our shop stocks the exact boards and sensors used in these examples.
Which example should I start with?
If you are new: the Getting Started group — blink an LED first, then a button, then serial output. If you have an ESP32 in mind, jump straight to the ESP32 group.
Can I change the code and wiring?
Yes — that is the point. Every example opens in the full editor: edit the sketch, add parts, move wires, hit play. Your changes stay in the simulator and cost nothing.
