About

de:volt is a breadboard simulator that runs real circuit physics in your browser. Wire up 105 parts on a 400 or 830-point board and the circuit runs as you build. Probe it with a 4-channel scope and multimeter, program an Arduino Uno or Nano, micro:bit or RP2040, learn with guided lessons that pass on real measurements, or run a whole class with assignments, marking and live lessons.

Editorial read

Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.

InvestigateRanks high on little evidence. Worth a look, but verify before committing.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
