Platform Changelog

See what's new, improved, and fixed across IoTSimulator.
v2.2.0
October 26, 2026
Real-World Objects & Realistic Simulation
  • Added real-world objects you can drag and interact with: test weights, vehicles, human hands, fire, ice, and sound speakers.
  • Sensors now react naturally to their surroundings: move fire close to a temperature sensor or make sound near a sound sensor instead of using artificial sliders.
  • Automatic magnetic snap: test weights snap directly onto digital scales, and fingertips align onto heart rate sensors.
  • Adjustable fire & sound levels: control flame intensity and speaker volume with real-time visual feedback across the canvas.
Canvas & Labeling Improvements
  • Click to place text labels anywhere on the canvas with an easy point-and-click cursor.
  • Freely resize text width by dragging horizontal borders, change font sizes, and pick custom colors with one click.
  • Pinned Components Bar: Pin your most-used parts (like LEDs and resistors) to the top bar for quick access anytime.
  • Smooth drag-and-drop: drag any component straight from the sidebar onto your circuit canvas.
Cleaner Component Catalog & Organization
  • All components are now organized into 7 simple, easy-to-understand categories: Microcontrollers, Sensors, Input Devices, Displays, Actuators, Physical Objects, and Basic Parts.
  • Homepage component showcase now scrolls horizontally in a clean, modern card carousel.
  • New /components-categories page: search, browse, and explore every component alongside matching example projects.
  • Refined wording across the entire app for a cleaner, friendlier learning experience.
v2.1.0
October 2, 2026
Raspberry Pi Pico & Pico W Support
  • Added Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W boards with dual-core RP2040 chip simulation.
  • Full 40-pin support with accurate pinout, 3.3V logic, and glowing built-in LED (GP25).
  • High-definition realistic board artwork matching physical hardware.
  • Starter projects and guide for multi-core coding with setup1() and loop1().
Menu & Navigation Upgrades
  • Updated header mega menus with real photos and previews for all components and boards.
  • Responsive mobile-friendly workspace with smooth switching between Code and Canvas.
v2.0.0
September 8, 2026
AI Circuit Assistant & Code Helper
  • Added AI Assistant: Type what you want to build and get ready-to-run circuit wiring and code.
  • Press Ctrl + K anywhere on the screen to quickly ask the AI for help.
  • One-click code fixer: If your code has compiler errors, the AI explains the problem and fixes it for you.
  • Duplicate name check: Warns you if you try to save a project with a name that already exists.
Easier Navigation & Project Folders
  • Cleaned up menus so you can find your saved projects at /project and account settings at /profile.
  • Choose which folder to save a project into when making a copy.
  • Added quick starter project previews in the top navigation bar.
v1.3.0
May 1, 2026
Wiring & Simulator Improvements
  • Neater wires that bend at 90-degree angles automatically.
  • Wires no longer overlap each other, making circuits much easier to read.
  • Aligned board pins so wires come out straight and neat.
General Improvements
  • Faster search and filters to find example projects easily.
  • Improved page loading speed and search engine visibility.
  • Updated text and fonts across the entire website for easier reading.
  • Clearer explanations in Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
v1.2.1
April 29, 2026
Board & Pin Updates
  • Added full support for the modern ESP32-C3 board.
  • Clearer pin names like D13 for digital pins and A0 for analog pins.
  • Numbered ground pins (GND.1, GND.2) so wiring is always clear.
Wire Tools
  • Each pin connects cleanly with realistic hardware behavior.
  • Smoother wire drag-and-drop and cleaner wire lines.
v1.2.0
April 24, 2026
Layout Updates
  • Organized the site into clear sections: Simulators, Projects, and Components.
  • Made button names, menus, and labels simple and easy to understand.
