Description

Description
When MakeCode detects that some requires electronic components mounted on a breadboard, it generates a precise assembly instruction booklet. The instructions are meant to drive a beginner through the process of wiring the breadboard to make the code work.
How to enable it?
If your code requires wiring, a "tool" icon will appear in the simulator toolbar.
If you cannot see that button and you editor supports this experiment, go to About, then click Experiments and Wiring Instructions. If you cannot see this card, your editor does not support yet this feature.
