description

Generate Arduino/embedded C++ code snippets and patterns on demand for UNO/ESP32/RP2040. Use when users request Arduino code for sensors, actuators, communication protocols, state machines, non-blocking timers, data logging, or hardware abstraction. Generates production-ready code with proper memory management, timing patterns, and board-specific optimization. Supports DHT22, BME280, buttons, I2C/SPI, EEPROM, SD cards, WiFi, and common peripherals.

Arduino Code Generator

Generate production-quality Arduino code snippets for sensors, actuators, communication, and embedded patterns.

Quick Start

Browse example sketches:

# See 9 production-ready examples in examples/ folder
ls examples/
# config-example.ino, filtering-example.ino, buttons-example.ino,
# i2c-example.ino, csv-example.ino, scheduler-example.ino,
# state-machine-example.ino, hardware-detection-example.ino,

List available patterns:

uv run --no-project scripts/generate_snippet.py --list

Generate code for specific pattern and board:

uv run --no-project scripts/generate_snippet.py --pattern i2c --board esp32
uv run --no-project scripts/generate_snippet.py --pattern buttons --board uno --output button.ino

Interactive mode:

Code Generation Workflow

• Identify Pattern Type - Analyze user request to determine core pattern category
• Read Reference Documentation - Consult pattern-specific reference files for implementation details
• Generate Code - Create production-ready code following quality standards
• Provide Instructions - Include wiring diagrams and usage guidance
• Mention Integration - Suggest combinations with other patterns when relevant

Quality Standards & Rules

• Quality Standards - Compilation, timing, memory safety, and error handling requirements
• Board Optimization - UNO, ESP32, and RP2040 specific optimizations and features
• Common Pitfalls - Critical mistakes to avoid in Arduino development

Code Output Template
