PC as an ESP32 simulator ?

Bridges - PC as an ESP32 simulator ?
Pretend your PC a Raspberry Pi or an ESP32 to connect I2C / SPI / GPIO / UART peripherals.

Hello,

I wrote a package for PC, in order to:

1. Use the PC to drive (via bus-converter) I2C / SPI / GPIO / UART interfaced peripheral devices.

2. On your PC, simulating the I2C / SPI / GPIO / UART intreface objects of ESP32 / Raspberry, in order to develop the peripheral device drivers in the PyCharm environment, you can set breakpoints and inspect variables easily. No more "print" to debug, no more repeatedly uploading code to the controller.

If we had debugging on uPy this wouldn’t be necessary.
