Hehe, indeed, thank you. It stands for breadboard here, but I had to include a bulletin board too ;)

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

Sorry about that, last minute bug, pushing a fix now to hide it on small screens.

Hi HN,

I kept wiring Ben Eater's 8-bit computer wrong, so I built a realistic virtual breadboard editor.

Some of the nice features are side-by-side diff, scope, schematics auto-sync, auto-router (BBRouter stands for breadboard router), and my favorites: upload from the real Arduino IDE and connect to your AI with MCP, let Claude & co build it or help you troubleshoot.

The link is the SAP-1 running. You can orbit it, probe a hole with the scope, slow the clock down, play with the virtual displays for debugging, then you can actually build it following the step-by-step instructions.

A side-goal is to create a community, there are quite a lot of simulators out there but mostly offline / too abstract to realistically use it for a real build. I also never found one that had a decent UI/UX and worked well on mobile or with a trackpad.

Happy to answer anything, and tell me what breaks.

p.s. Maker plan is $7/month; code HACKERNEWS makes the first month free and then $5/month for as long as you keep it.

Except the $250 does not include the Lawyer, you need to pay extra for that.

I like the idea, but the pricing is prohibitive. While it might be acceptable for a green card application, the price is the same for the citizenship which is much simpler
