Hello there,
sorry if I don't phrase this correctly.

I wonder if there is a way to have a Windows 10 Arduboy simulator, so that one can program, run program and bug test, without having the Arduboy plugged in at all times.

I'm also worried that I might break it by accident, as I upload code that I'm not sure what it will do.

thanks so much! I'm downloading the Visual Studio as I type.

Got my Arduboy and have been playing with it, cool little device! I hacked together a thing that let's me use my comfortable Visual C++ 2005 IDE for running/debugging Arduboy stuff, presenting it here in case anybody wanted to try it or see the code. It's not an emulator, it just fakes the Arduboy 1.1 and 1.2 API well enough to compile and run Arduboy source code. It lacks audio (well, it can do a half hearted attempt at tone(), that's about it) & eeprom support, and probably a lot more stu…

One thing to note is that I believe the Proton Arduboy Simulator only supports the original Arduboy library. If you're developing a new sketch, you should use be using the Arduboy2 library.

You may find that a sketch developed using Arduboy2 won't work in the simulator.
