Everything you need to code, debug, and test

Take a look at how our web editor combines clean desktop C++ coding with modern cloud conveniences.

Code playground

Type any C++ code with real desktop IDE power

Write Arduino sketches inside the clean Monaco code playground. Enjoy color highlights, bracket matching, line numbers, and fast Tab auto-complete so you can type code quickly.

Type any standard Arduino C++ sketch, functions, and structs freely
Fast Tab key auto-complete for keywords, loops, and variable names
Clear syntax colors and immediate line error marks

Why our online compiler builds code fast

Unlike slow browser compilers that rebuild massive core headers from scratch, our server maintains prebuilt core archives ready for Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega, ATTiny85, ESP32-C3, and RP2040. Your sketch links directly with ready binaries in seconds.

IoTSimulator online IDE vs desktop Arduino IDE

See how our browser editor compares factually against the desktop Arduino IDE for sketching and testing.

Feature	IoTSimulator online IDE	Desktop Arduino IDE
Installation & setup	Zero install — opens immediately in your web browser	Requires downloading ~500MB installer and local setup
USB drivers (CH340 / CP2102 / FTDI)	None needed — runs completely inside browser and cloud	Required on Windows/Mac to detect physical boards
C++ code editor engine	Monaco Editor (VS Code core) with Tab auto-complete	Monaco Editor (Arduino IDE 2.0) or Scintilla (IDE 1.x)
Test code without physical hardware	Yes — connect virtual Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega & sensors on canvas	No — code can only compile, cannot test without real board
Precompiled cloud library cache	37 popular libraries prebuilt on server for fast linking	Compiles locally; libraries installed via library manager
AI error fix & code explanations	Built-in Groq AI explains bugs and fixes code in 1 click	No native AI built-in; requires manual troubleshooting
Revision history & rollback	Automatic timeline drawer with 1-click restore	Requires setting up Git manually or external version control
Device compatibility	Works on Chromebooks, iPads, mobile phones, Mac, PC, Linux	Desktop OS only (Windows, macOS, Linux 64-bit)
Serial plotter & command sender	Built into workspace with wave graphs and custom TX line endings	Available as a separate popup window

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions about writing C++ code, supported libraries, and running Arduino sketches online.

Yes. You can write any standard Arduino code using setup(), loop(), pinMode(), digitalWrite(), and Serial functions just like in the desktop app.

Our cloud server keeps prebuilt core files ready for Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega, and other boards. It builds your sketch by linking directly to those ready files.

All 37 popular libraries are already installed on our server, including Adafruit GFX, SSD1306, LiquidCrystal_I2C, Servo, AccelStepper, FastLED, NeoPixel, DHT, and RTClib.

When code has a typo or mistake, the built-in AI explains what happened in plain words and helps fix it. You can also restore any earlier code version from the revision history.

Yes. The playground works smoothly on mobile browsers, iPads, and Chromebooks with touch-friendly tabs and simple zoom controls.

Yes. The code you write is 100% standard Arduino C++. You can copy and paste your sketch directly into the desktop Arduino IDE or CLI to upload to your physical board with zero changes.
