The current simulation is mostly only digital, I am working on a more accurate analog one that may be able to reproduce this.
ESP32 is also slightly more difficult to simulate, I currently have only Arduino (Nano, Uno, Mega), but ESP32/8266 are on the roadmap.
In the past, I had quite some luck working around real breadboard noise by adding decoupling capacitors and makeing sure everything has a pull-up/pull-down resitor so when you look at the board it doesn't randomly jump state.
As I often prototype on breadboard, I wanted to tool that could realistically model what I work on, especially when it comes to wire size, length, bends, etc.
I used KiCad a lot and I took direct inspiration from it for the schematics view, and when designing a PCB it is great, but when it comes to play with breadboards, there is a void.
The goal is to experiment and mirror reality, but I would agree that if you want to do a serious project that is not just a one-off, BBRouter is probably not the tool for you. If you want to have fun, follow along tutorials like Ben Eater's, experiment various changes in branches without spending money, time and frustration on components/wires, then it fits quite well :)
Thank you!
Unfortunately, not yet supported but soon! it's the next example I want to add: the 74HC counters are already in, what's missing is the 60 Hz mains-derived time base.
In the meantime you can tap the layer icon on the bottom left and disable “displays”.
In a few minutes, I’ll have the fix deployed to avoid blocking the screen
