Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I'm Collins Abitekaniza, the creator of Scratchboard.io. We built this platform to solve a pain point I experienced firsthand as an embedded systems developer in Africa – the high cost and limited access to hardware for testing and development. Scratchboard.io lets you build and test embedded systems in a virtual environment, making hardware development accessible to everyone, everywhere. Whether you're a student learning the basics, a professional prototyping ideas, or a startup testing concepts, you can now do it all without investing in expensive hardware. Some key features we're excited to share: Real-time microcontroller simulation Collaborative workspaces for team projects Intuitive interface that grows with you Risk-free environment for experimentation For our Product Hunt launch, we're offering exclusive pricing to the first 100 users with code EARLY100. I'll be here all day to answer questions and gather your feedback. Let me know what you think – I'm especially curious to hear about your hardware development challenges and how we could help solve them! 🚀

Awesome! It's great to see a project that makes it easier to also tackle hardware topics, especially since the tools I know from my time at university were all quite old and hard to grasp. Will check it out once I have time for my next IoT hobby project!

@glenntoews Thanks so much! Would love to hear about your IoT project when you get to it - feel free to reach out if you need any tips getting started!

Great to see something that helps cutdown the time spent testing and prototyping by breaking it down into these simulations 🤩
