This tutorial builds two projects on an emulated Raspberry Pi in Velxio: a Grove alarm station on a Raspberry Pi 5 in basic mode, and an I2C sensor rig on a Raspberry Pi 4 that moves from basic mode to Linux mode. It covers the wiring, the Python libraries that work in each mode, the Linux terminal, and the limits of both.
This article walks through the Seeed Grove catalog in Velxio: what a module looks like on the canvas, three examples you can run right now, how a module is emulated, where the models come from and what is still missing.
Custom chips now live in the regular editor as chip.c and chip.json, sensors you build get sliders that work while the simulation runs — and Pro users can save chips to a personal library and reuse them anywhere.
DFRobot supports Velxio. Their UNIHIKER M10, the HuskyLens AI camera and the Gravity line (ECG, mmWave presence, CO gas, pH, soil moisture, offline voice recognition) are in the catalog with 42 examples. This post is about what a simulated sensor is good for, and it starts with a clock.
