I don't know if anyone has heard of Wokwi, but it claims to be a web based Arduino (and ESP32?) simulator. I haven't really used it - I created a simple script for blinking an LED but hey, cool! It might be an interesting resource for starting kids out with microcontrollers etc.

@YurkshireLad, Indeed, that's a great Idea to use as a resource..I use Tinkercad for the same thing, simulation of all my electronics projects as it has la lot of basic electronics elements and even Arduino uno projects so you can code and use the IDE code window along with your serial monitor to debug your code .

As I'm learning C++ programming, it's very helpful, although I'm not new to programming.. been using MS Access and VBA for over 30 years now...hehehe..and since I come from an industrial controls background, I'm familiar with OOP programing used to program PLC's (Power Load Controllers) and DCS ( Distributed Control Systems) used in industrial process controls..

here's an example , see attached file below..

 

 

Your never to old to learn, at 75, I'm still at it, and now I have the time to do what I want, when I want, and if I want...lol

Ok, I tried this site. It's OK, however, I found it easier to just use the hardware than to use this simulation. You are limited to the hardware they have in their library, but it seems to be more most other simulators.

That's very true but it's a useful introduction without having to buy any hardware.
