Read the full description
BBRouter is a 3D breadboard editor and simulator in the browser. Lay out boards, chips and wires as you'll build them; the circuit runs the whole time. 211 real chips, Ben Eater's 8-bit computer and 6502, Arduino sketches on emulated AVRs, a scope on any hole. Works on a phone by touch and on a laptop by trackpad. Every project is a public page: fork it, star it, show it on the forum, browse the featured ones. Free to start, and your AI can drive it over MCP.

Partial The 3D breadboard editor and wiring UI are vibe-codeable, but accurate simulation of 211 real chips, 6502 and AVR emulation, and scope probing require a substantial, correct circuit and processor simulation engine.
What it would actually take: Architecture would be a 3D WebGL/Three.js editor over a netlist-based digital simulation engine with event-driven logic and timing. Chip models need datasheet-accurate behavior, and the 6502 and AVR cores can build on existing emulator code such as simavr. The hard parts are the correctness of the chip library and cycle-accurate emulation, which need EE and CPU-architecture expertise plus careful testing.
