Posts about Integrated Development Environment
Hey folks,
The holy month of October has already begun in many parts of the globe, and many programmers and geeks are rushing to get their hands on some nice FLOSS. Whether for publicity and reputation, programing and teamwork experience, or for the sheer joy of contributing back to the community, many participate in the Hachtoberfest pilgrimage. Here I have a nice piece of software you can dive in, or who knows you might become the core developer soon. ;)
SimulIDE is a hardware emulation software. You may consider it as a FLOSS alternative to Proteus Virtual System Modelling (VSM). Here you may see a demo of the software emulating an Arduino circuit. The software was created by Santiago Gonzรกlez and is still being actively developed by him. However, I had to fork the software simply because:
Sadly the original developer doesn't use any version control. Right now zip files and the binaries are published on Patreon, only to the premium users.
There is no easy way for the community to contribute to the project, open new issues, or even ask questions.
If you like to help:
Please join our D i s c o r d channel (in the comments ๐)
Take a look at the source code, try to compile on any platform you have (Linux, macOS, Windows...), open new issues
Share your thoughts and ideas on how we can initiate the fork and make it more contributor-friendly. The final goal is to make it a self-sustaining software developed by a community.
Help me make some
good first issueslike the ones folks are doing for the MyLibreLab software already.Share this withing the C++ and Qt community you have
Looking forward to having many of you over there
P.S. we have pull requests and issues that need help.
