Using Tinkercad Simulator
Tinkercad is one of the best simulators for testing Arduino projects. It allows you to create circuits, program the board virtually, and simulate performance before actual implementation.
How to Use Tinkercad
- Create an account on the Tinkercad website.
- Go to the "Circuits" section and start a new project.
- Add an Arduino board and any other components you need (e.g., LEDs, sensors, resistors).
- Use the programming interface to write your code.
- Simulate the code and test its performance on the virtual circuit.
