Simple GUI elements for AVR_ and arduino_ simulation. Programmed in python_, based on pygame_. Simavr_ is used for simulation.

Links:

• home: https://github.com/ponty/pysimavrgui
• documentation: http://ponty.github.com/pysimavrgui

Features:

• designed to use with pysimavr_ (simavr_ wrapper)
• arduino_ simulator included
• maximum speed can be real-time
• speed control
• audio back-end: PyAudio_
• graphic back-end: PyGame_ (SDL_ wrapper)

Known problems:

• Python 3 is not supported
• tested only on linux
• real-time sleep() is used in simavr_, so speed control is far from perfect
• occasional crash by firmware reload
• poor sound quality

Test using virtual machine: there is a vagrant configuration inside vagrant directory
