Behavioural mixed-signal modelwifi_router

Wi-Fi router (virtual network)

Router / access point of the simulation's virtual network: Pico W boards connect with WiFi.begin(SSID, password). The router assigns addresses via DHCP (192.168.178.x), resolves names (server.lab = test server with /api/time, /api/weather, /api/echo; broker.lab or test.mosquitto.org = MQTT broker; pool.ntp.org = time) and answers pings. No real internet. Several routers = several networks; without a router there is the default network "CircuitLab" / "secret123". Traffic, MQTT messages and the boards' web pages are in the "Network" panel.

Simulation model

A behavioural model implements the interface of the chip (registers, protocol, timing) at its pins. The pins are connected to the analog circuit like CMOS pins.
