Gpio Simulator (System.Device.Gpio Shim)

NuGet Version NuGet Pre Release License: MIT .NET Standard 2.0 .NET 8.0

An extensible, drop-in C# NuGet replacement library for System.Device.Gpio that mimics the hardware namespace, but spins up a beautiful browser-based microcontroller visual simulator rather than requiring physical hardware. Designed for teaching, desktop prototyping, and locked-down learning environments.

GPIO Simulator Workspace


Features

  • Drop-in Compatibility: Uses the identical namespace and APIs as System.Device.Gpio (e.g. GpioController, PinMode, PinValue).
  • Interactive Workspace Canvas: Elegant, high-performance Pan & Zoom controls (drag to pan, mousewheel or floating toolbar buttons to zoom, single-click to perfectly fit the board to the workspace screen).
  • Workspace Toolbar: Select between the standard Move tool and Inspect tool, with dynamic cursor states and full highlighting/drag selection prevention on controls.
  • Real-time ASP.NET Core UI: Real-time bidirectional pin synchronization using lightweight WebSockets on .NET 8.0.
  • Dockable / Toggleable Panels: Hide or show the Components List and active Log Terminal panes on demand.
  • Multi-Board Extensibility: Supports simulating multiple different boards (e.g. Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4, Arduino Uno) using metadata-driven JSON Board Schemas.
  • Zero Admin / Firewall Prompts: Binds strictly to 127.0.0.1 (loopback) to prevent Windows Defender and firewall dialogs on restricted school PCs.
  • Auto-Spawning: Automatically launches the local web server on the first GpioController instantiation and opens your system's default browser automatically.

Prerequisites

  • IDE: Visual Studio 2022, JetBrains Rider, or VS Code.
  • Runtime: .NET SDK 8.0 or above.
