Anode is an AI agent that writes your sketch, detects your board, compiles, and uploads — with a built-in logic simulator and oscilloscope so you see it work before it ever touches hardware.
No IDE wrangling, no toolchain setup, no copy-pasting from forums. Describe the behavior; Anode owns the rest — and shows its work at every step.
It drives the real Arduino toolchain under the hood. The agent reads compiler errors and fixes them, installs the cores and libraries it needs, and remembers your corrections so it stops repeating mistakes. You watch every tool call as it happens.
Run your sketch in-app. Watch pins toggle, LEDs glow with PWM duty, and scope any signal on a live oscilloscope. Poke input pins to test buttons and reads. It's the fastest debug loop in embedded — no wiring, no reflashing.
Try the simulator →Works with the Arduino and ESP boards you already own, and your sketches stay on your computer. Pick the model that fits the job — fast and cheap for a blink, heavyweight for a gnarly driver — or plug in your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.
Hardware serial at any baud, plus a simulated console while you sim.
Scope any pin over time — digital, PWM duty, or analog — with a real graticule.
One-click fixes for CH340, CP210x, FTDI and WinUSB via Zadig.
Every session saved, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
Standing instructions the agent follows — it learns your setup.
Compile-check on demand, with classified build output, before anything ships.
Tell Anode what you want — "read a DHT22 on pin 4 and print temp every 2s." Plain language.
Watch it run in the logic simulator. Scope the signals, poke the inputs, confirm the behavior.
One click uploads to your real board over USB. Open the serial monitor and you're live.
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial — no credit card. Cancel anytime.
Arduino Uno, Nano, and Mega 2560; ESP32 (including S3 and C3); ESP8266; RP2040; and more — the agent auto-installs the right core for your board.
No. Describe what you want in plain English and Anode writes, simulates, and flashes it. You stay in control — always review generated firmware before flashing to hardware.
Yes. Your sketches, project files, and chat history stay on your own computer. Only your prompt and the relevant code are sent to the AI to generate a response, and we don't train on your data.
Every plan includes a monthly AI usage allowance — the free trial includes enough to try it out, Basic includes more, and Pro a lot more. On any plan you can also bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key to use AI without our limit (you pay your provider directly).
No — AI usage is included in your plan. If you prefer, or to go past your plan's allowance, you can bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.
Free for 7 days, no credit card. After that, plans start at $10/month (Basic), with Pro at $70/month and custom Enterprise pricing. Cancel anytime from your dashboard.
Windows is available today. macOS and Linux builds are on the way.
Yes. Anode compiles and uploads to real boards over USB, with a built-in driver helper for common USB-serial chips (CH340, CP210x, FTDI).
