WokWi part features and arguments
The title on this was a bit difficult to make, as of 2023-05 the title tries to reflect information to put inside the diagram.json
However it may also include parameters to the WokWi editor in order to create a specific project.
And if there are issues with the .ino or cpp-files the same issue #176 may be used.
The page is not organized for now. It try to list moments, issues and ideas as it comes to my mind.
It will be irregularly updated as new issues and ideas arise or comments from others are made.
Not even sure if the belongs on this location on github, but for now this is the location.
To reference ore explain some elements late a section to examples will be included. Hopefully the examples are
as general to benefit others, if not, own projects may be included, or even test projects focusing on the issue.
The idea is that test projects will have a README.md, a commented .ino, and a crafted diagram.json
When comments or notes are available to the WokWi editor, those will be used as well.
And when ea project selection, or search page is later available to both logged in users and others, the plan it to add some tags to
information thet may be helpful for users. I also hope a beta-page and unsupported/not fully implemented page will be available to users. For now I try to make it here.

Example showing the pixelate attribute
"parts": [

"rotate": 0.000001,

},
some attributes and keys
- Example to show key, flip and transperent wires in the drawing window.
Note the ... is inserted to cut some lines, making the json-code invalid if you simply copy paste it.

esp advanced keys and attributes 01
The esp is simulated in different was for esp, s2, s3 and c3. bootloader is not included with ordinary esp
If you like to use this feature then modify the attrs:-key. See example below
...
"parts": [
{ "type": "wokwi-esp32-devkit-v1", "id": "esp", "top": 0, "left": 0, "attrs": { "fullBoot": "1" } },
The esp and FastLED.
