Imagine what you want to automate.
AI writes the code.
You flash it to your board.
In minutes, not months.

Pick your board from 29+ supported, add sensors and actuators, describe in chat what the device should do — and AI generates wiring schematic and firmware ready to use. No coding skills required.

In detail

• Select your board — ESP32, ESP8266 and more. Click the icon in the editor and choose.
• Describe your project — Type what you want in the chat, for example: “I want to read temperature with a DHT22 sensor and display it on an OLED screen”.
• AI draws the wiring schematic — Find it in the Wiring tab: real components from the Fritzing library, pull-ups and power rails already handled, exportable as SVG.
• AI generates the code — Compatible libraries, validated pin assignment matching the schematic, complete firmware with clear comments.
• Iterate and improve — Keep chatting to add features or edit both schematic and code. Each change creates a version — you can always go back.

What makes it different

Unlike a generic chatbot, schematic and code are always in sync: same pins, same names, same components. You can also upload existing code (.cpp, .c, .h, .zip) as a starting point.

All of this happens in the PCGen editor, our AI Firmware Builder.

Connect via USB and flash from the browser in one click. Or update over WiFi, without touching the device. One or a hundred — same click.

Direct USB flash

• Connect the board to your computer with a USB cable
• Click “Flash” in the editor
• In the browser popup, select the board's serial port
• Wait for completion — do not disconnect the cable

Requires Chrome or Edge (desktop). Works directly from the browser, no additional software needed.

Wireless update

After the first USB flash, you can enable wireless updates: the system automatically adds WiFi connectivity to your code. From then on, all updates are delivered over WiFi. One click to update one device, same click to update a hundred.

The wireless update feature is called POTA (Programming Over The Air).

Every device gets its own real-time dashboard. Charts, buttons, sliders — set up the widgets you need. Control remotely, from any browser.

In detail

• Monitor — The device sends data to the dashboard: temperature, humidity, pressure readings, or whatever you're measuring.
• Control — The dashboard sends commands to the device: turn on an LED, adjust motor speed, activate a relay.
• Available widgets — Thermometers, real-time charts, sliders, toggles, buttons, dropdowns and much more. Choose what to display and how.
• Automatic configuration — Global variables from your code are automatically analyzed and suggested as widgets, no manual setup needed.

Fleet management

See all your devices in a single view: who's online, which firmware they're running, and if they need an update. Roll out new firmware to an entire fleet with a single click, monitor progress, and verify every device is up to date.

Remote serial console

Read device logs directly from the browser, without plugging in cables. Useful for debugging during development and monitoring in production.

This feature is part of POTA (Programming Over The Air), our device management platform. Discover POTA →

“I had an idea for a smart irrigation system. In 20 minutes I had a working prototype for my investor pitch.”

The problem

Developing a hardware prototype takes weeks of embedded work, specialized skills and costly iterations. Time and budget that an early-stage startup doesn't have.

The solution

• From concept to prototype in hours, not weeks — Describe what the device should do, AI generates the firmware. Flash via USB and you have a working demo.
• Validate before you invest — Test the idea with real hardware before hiring an embedded team or seeking funding.
• Iterate quickly — Change device behavior through chat. Every version is saved, you can go back at any time.
• Scale when you're ready — With POTA, update all pilot fleet devices over WiFi. One click for one, same click for a hundred.

Why PleaseDontCode

You don't need an embedded engineering team to validate an IoT idea. Start free with 1 device, scale when the product is validated.

“We needed to monitor 50 industrial machines. Without a dedicated embedded team, we were operational in a week.”

The problem

SMEs and professionals need to automate processes and monitor systems, but hiring embedded developers is expensive and development timelines are long. Projects sit on hold for months.

The solution

• Cut R&D time — AI generates verified firmware in minutes. What took weeks of manual development is now a chat conversation.
• No embedded team needed — You don't need a specialized engineer to create IoT devices. The plant technician can describe what's needed and get ready-to-use firmware.
• Remote fleet updates — With POTA, update firmware on all devices over WiFi. No travel, no downtime for updates.
• Monitoring dashboard — Every device gets configurable widgets: charts, thermometers, buttons, sliders. Control everything from a browser, from any location.

Why PleaseDontCode

IoT automation and monitoring accessible without embedded skills. Hardware-verified code, wireless updates, and real-time dashboards — all from a single platform.

“Built for one-person hardware shops, not toy projects.”

The problem

You deliver commercial embedded products: professional LED, industrial control, vertical IoT. You know electronics, you define timing, PID, architecture yourself — but every project comes with the same tail of firmware boilerplate (WiFi, OTA, drivers, hardware init) that burns hours and adds zero value for the client.

The solution

• Spec → firmware — Describe hardware behaviour in natural language. AI generates consistent code + wiring schematic, ready to flash. You focus on the tuning that is your value.
• Editable, readable code — Generated code is yours: commented, structured, modifiable. When fine-tuning is needed, you step directly into the file.
• Flash from the browser — Connect the board via USB, click a button. No toolchain to configure on the client's laptop.
• POTA — remote updates — Devices already installed at client sites receive firmware updates over WiFi. No drive-out for a bugfix or a new feature.
• Operational dashboard — Widget monitoring and remote control from the browser. Your client sees device status, you intervene from wherever you are.

Why PleaseDontCode

Stop writing boilerplate. Your PID tuning is the product. Ship firmware updates from your laptop, not from your car.
