Build complete Arduino and embedded projects across Arduino IDE, Arduino CLI, PlatformIO, and vendor-specific toolchains. Use when users request an application combining firmware, sensors, actuators, networking, power, or deployment rather than a code snippet. The bundled scaffold targets UNO, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico; use the board profile and document limitations for other targets.

Generate Arduino and embedded C++ snippets for sensors, actuators, buses, state machines, timing, data logging, and hardware abstraction. Use when a user requests implementation code and provide the exact board, framework, toolchain, pins, voltage, memory, and library versions first. Bundled templates target UNO, ESP32, and RP2040; document unsupported board or vendor-framework behavior instead of guessing.

Read and analyze Arduino or embedded serial output for structured runtime debugging across Arduino IDE, Arduino CLI, PlatformIO, and vendor-specific monitor tools. Use when boot output, sensor data, resets, communication failures, timing symptoms, or field behavior need evidence rather than compile-only reasoning.

Use when users need a 3D-printable enclosure for an Arduino, ESP32, or RP2040 project and need help with measurements, cutouts, print settings, or environmental protection.

Calculates total power consumption and battery life for Arduino/ESP32/RP2040 projects. Use when user asks about battery life, power requirements, current draw, or needs to estimate runtime. Includes sleep mode analysis, power optimization tips, and battery sizing recommendations. Run scripts/calculatepower.py for accurate calculations.

Helps choose the right battery type and charging solution for Arduino/ESP32/RP2040 projects. Use when user asks about battery options, charging circuits, power source selection, or says "what battery should I use". Covers chemistry selection, safety, voltage regulation, and charging circuits.

Use when makers need calibration workflows for sensors such as CO2 sensors, load cells, magnetometers, color sensors, or analog sensors, including warm-up behavior, reference measurements, coefficient storage, and drift checks.

Use when users need to diagnose I2C bring-up failures on Arduino or ESP32-class boards, including no devices found, wrong readings, address conflicts, scanner-detects-but-library-fails cases, pull-up problems, or board-family-specific bus quirks.

Use when maker projects work on USB bench power but fail on their intended supply path, especially for WiFi or sensor-heavy boards such as ESP32, including brownout, current-peak, regulator, and wiring-path diagnosis.

Use when users need Mermaid diagrams for Arduino code structure, state machines, timing diagrams, task architecture, or workflow documentation.

Use when users need safe over-the-air update workflows for ESP32-class boards or Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, including OTA sketch requirements, network port discovery failures, remote recovery planning, and rollout safety checks.

Use when wiring an Arduino, ESP32, ESP32-S3, Pico, or Pico W to sensors, LEDs, motors, relays, buses, or external supplies, especially when 5 V and 3.3 V logic, current limits, pull-ups, level shifting, inductive loads, or safe defaults matter.

Use when assigning Arduino, ESP32, ESP32-S3, Pico, or Pico W pins; creating a GPIO map; assigning buttons, LEDs, sensors, buses, or actuators; migrating a pin map; or generating constexpr int declarations. Check the exact board and physical pin constraints before emitting the user's ordered raw declaration format.

Route Arduino and embedded-system requests across Arduino IDE, Arduino CLI, PlatformIO, and vendor-specific tools. Use when a request combines firmware, board constraints, electronics, power, networking, calibration, enclosure, upload, debugging, OTA, or maintenance, or when the exact board or toolchain is not yet clear.

Use when the main problem is a noisy or aliased analog/ADC signal and the task needs signal-chain diagnosis or filter-path selection across sampling, anti-aliasing, RC/input conditioning, ADC source impedance/settling, latency, startup, saturation, or raw/fault observability. Apply it when software filtering and hardware signal conditioning interact, even when the request only says that an analog sensor is unstable. Hand reusable Arduino snippets to arduino-code-generator, board facts to board-support, voltage/pin/rail safety to wiring-safety-check or circuit-debugger, and calibration after detection to sensor-calibration-workbench.

Use when Arduino or embedded C++ code uses delay(), needs button debouncing, periodic work, cooperative scheduling, watchdog-safe timing, state machines, or latency/jitter control under sensor, network, or motor load.

Resolve a named Arduino, ESP32, RP2040, or other embedded board to a source-backed exact profile, including pin/peripheral capability, voltage/current, buses, framework/core/toolchain, and variant or revision risks. Use this whenever a user asks for a board reference, pinout, GPIO restrictions, board capability, board profile, or safe handoff before pin assignment. Do not use it to choose a board from requirements; use board-selection for that decision.

Use first when Arduino or embedded hardware work spans sessions, parts delivery, wiring, soldering, flashing, measurements, field tests, recovery, or a durable next-todo is needed. Maintain explicit evidence and concrete physical-world user gates instead of assuming completion.
