Hi HN,

I've been working on a hardware development platform online (allowing people to build IoT Devices). This platform currently supports Arduinos (soon other boards FPGAs, STM32s, etc) and a few peripherals. The platform is a combination of simulation, emulation, and bare-metal.

I'm trying to make hardware more accessible to all, allow for people to test out full systems before buying parts, and improving collaboration.

Would love feedback on general thoughts and what features would be useful!

Joined the waitlist because I want to see more hardware prototyping tools like this, but one small point you might want to mention in the article/post is language support. I try to do all my embedded work in Rust, the majority of work is C or C++ and there’s also a number of other good language choices once your using things like STM32… so having some idea if your tool chain and VSCode plugins will let me use the programming language I want to be using would be nice to know before I have to give you my information and get access to the tool.


Thank you! :D! Will provide more information shortly


Yeah I agree with you. I've done a lot of beginner stuff but am excited to see a platform that allows me to process a lot of data that I have clogging up my HD!
