Make without limit! Device Simulator Express, a Microsoft Garage project, allows you to code in CircuitPython for your awesome
Circuit Playground Express (CPX) projects! Test and debug your code on the device simulator and see the same
result when you plug in your actual microcontroller. Curious about the output of the device, the serial
monitor allows you to observe the device output.

The simulator supports most of the sensors on CPX except **IR transmitter & Receiver**, **Sound Sensor (microphone)**, **Speaker (Play Tone)** and the **“tap” on Motion Sensor**.
The code related to these sensors can still run on the actual CPX board and be deployed using Pacifica.

As we only support CPX library now, other libraries (i.e. simpleio) cant run on the simulator. But they will work on the actual device!

Device Simulator Express provides several commands in the Command Palette (F1 or Ctrl + Shift + P/ Cmd + Shift + P for Mac OS) for working with \*.py files:
- `Pacifica: New File`: Opens an unsaved .py file with template code, also open the simulator.
- `Pacifica: Open Simulator`: Opens the simulator in the webView
- `Pacifica: Run on Simulator`: Runs python code on the simulator
- `Pacifica: Deploy to Board`: Copies & Pastes the code.py or main.py file to CIRCUITPY drive if detected a CPX is plugged in
- `Pacifica: Open Serial Monitor`: Opens the serial monitor in the integrated output window.
- `Pacifica: Close Serial Monitor`: Stops the serial monitor and releases the serial port.
- `Pacifica: Change Baud Rate`: Changes the baud rate of the selected serial port. For Adafruit CPX, the default baud rate is 115200.
- `Pacifica: Select Serial Port`: Changes the current serial port.

- If you have pylint enabled, it might underline the import of the adafruit_circuitplayground library, but it will work correctly.
- If you try to deploy to the device while it's plugged in but you still get an error saying it cannot find the board, make sure your Circuit Playground Express is formatted correctly and that its name matches `CIRCUITPY`.
- If you can't get the Simulator communication working while debugging, try to open your `Settings` and check the port used under `'Pacifica: Debugger Server Port'`. You can either change it (usually ports above 5000 should work) or try to free it, then start debugging again.

- When you are using the serial monitor, if you get some unusual error messages, unplug the device and reload the VS Code windows.
