list_setups | The available setups, their modes (free, challenge) and their benches. |
open_session | Create a session (mode: free or challenge). Give open_url to the human: nothing simulates until they open it in their browser. |
push_to_editor | Replace the code in the human's browser and, if run, compile it in the lab's cloud and start it. The fallback of push_program: use it only when the toolchain to compile locally is missing (no arduino-cli, core or library). |
push_program | Send a program compiled on the visitor's machine (Intel HEX text, 48 KiB at most, e.g. arduino-cli's <sketch>.ino.hex) to the human's browser, which loads it in the simulator without compiling and, if run, starts it. files: the sources, shown read-only in the editor, never compiled. During a |
read_simulation | Last state (with circuit, the browser's components and wires), last compilation and the events after since_ms (2000 at most). In challenge mode: the level's brief and its results. circuit_modified: the circuit differs from the setup sheet's (types, ids, properties, wires; not positions or co |
set_visibility | Change the visibility (private, link, public). Returns the viewer link; current viewers are disconnected. |
queue_join | Take a place in the queue for benches of this kind (for example real or sim). The browser must be connected. |
queue_status | The session's place: state none, waiting (position, estimated wait eta_s) or turn (bench, end of the turn ends_at, Unix seconds). |
queue_leave | Give back the place in the queue, or the turn if it has started. |
close_session | End the session now, as when it expires: the place or turn ends, viewers and the browser are disconnected, everything is forgotten. |
session_status | The session's state without its events, cheap enough to poll: browser connected (owner), visibility, current viewer link (not renewed), viewers, created_at and expires_at (Unix seconds), run (compilations so far: event times restart at each), level and levels (null in free mode), capture ({id, kind, |
next_level | Challenge mode: move to the next level, as the bench's "Next level" button, and only when it would be offered: every test of the current level passed and a next level exists. Returns {level, levels}, the new level (index); session_status's level changes with the bench's next state. No level |
capture_logic | Record every edge of the requested pins (probes of the setup sheet; by default the logic ones) for duration_ms (1 to 10 000 ms). In the browser's simulation, in simulated time; during the session's turn on a real bench, at the bench's logic analyser, in real time (no browser or running simul |
capture_analog | Sample the voltage of 1 to 4 board pins (0-13 digital, 14-21 = A0-A7; by default the setup's scope probes) at rate_hz (100 to 10 000) for duration_ms (1 to 10 000 simulated ms), 200 000 samples at most in all. An ADC input reads the voltage the circuit applies; any other pin, its logic level |
read_capture | State of a capture (recording, ready, failed) and its kind (logic, analog). Once ready, the measures per pin and, for a logic capture, the edges [t_us, pin, v], 2000 from offset; for an analog one, rate_hz and the samples, rows [mv_1, ...] in the order of pins (row k at k / rate_hz), 2000 ro |
read_setup | A served setup sheet (setup.json, files included; never a solution): board, components and wires (circuit), probes, levels. Plus, when it exists, schema.png, the starting circuit as the editor draws it, as an image. |
push_circuit | Free mode only: replace the circuit in the human's browser (the simulation stops). components: [{type, id, properties, x?, y?}] (the board is not a component), wires: [{id, start: {componentId, pinName}, end: {...}, color?}], in the shape of the setup sheet's circuit; 40 components, 120 wire |
bench_snapshot | During the session's turn on a real bench: a photo of the bench, as an image, and t_ms, the instant of the photo in ms since the start of the turn (null when unknown). One every 2 seconds. |
spec_draft | Draft the specification of the visitor's own project with Picodev's interview: you ask the visitor, this tool says what to ask next and makes the PDF. Nothing is sent and nothing is kept. Call it with the sections written so far (none at first). sections: {id: text in simple Markdown}, ids envelope, |
brief_submit | Send Picodev the specification of the visitor's project, as a PDF, or only return its preview (send=false). sections: {id: text in simple Markdown}, ids envelope, fonctionPrincipale, fonctions, alimentation, format, environnement, production, preferences (the 8 sections of a product specification), |
request_meeting | Send Picodev a meeting request. contact: {name, email, company?, phone?}. context: the project in a few sentences (2000 characters at most): what the visitor wants to do, where they stand, what they did in the lab. availabilities: 1 to 10 slots {from, to}, ISO 8601 dates with a time zone, within the |
