Real-time Electrical Value Monitoring & Error Detection

Monitor simulated electrical values like current, voltage, and power in real-time. Adjust component parameters, such as resistor values, and receive immediate feedback. Warning signs alert you to potential circuit errors, providing essential information for troubleshooting and understanding circuit behavior.

Powerful In-Game Code Editor for Arduino Programming

Craft your own C++ scripts using the integrated Code Editor, designed for Arduino programming. Benefit from features like basic autocompletion, an output window for code compilation and error reporting, and a Serial Monitor for effective debugging.

The code editor utilizes the Arduino CLI software to compile sketches. Please download the Arduino CLI from the official Arduino website and specify the executable location in the settings. This integration ensures compatibility and a familiar development workflow.

Beyond Electronics: Shapes for Project Enclosures and Interaction

Create enclosures and interactive elements using primitive shapes that can be resized and combined. This feature allows you to build complete projects, not just circuits.

Accurate Electronics Simulation Based on Nodal Analysis

Experience a realistic electronic environment thanks to the nodal analysis-based simulation, which provides accurate electrical values and behavior. The Shortcuit Uno meticulously emulates the Arduino AVR architecture, enabling it to execute compiled Arduino code flawlessly.
