The full story
The author kept wiring Ben Eater's famous 8-bit breadboard computer wrong, so they built BBRouter, a realistic 3D virtual breadboard editor and simulator. It has side-by-side diffs, a virtual oscilloscope, schematics that stay in sync, an auto-router, upload from the real Arduino IDE, and an MCP server so Claude can open, change and run your projects with you.
