Basic mode — chat

Basic mode is a chat with your project as context: the assistant sees the circuit on the canvas and the code in the editor, so you can ask questions the way you’d ask a colleague at the next bench:

The AI panel in Basic mode

Good Basic-mode questions:

  • “Why is my LED not blinking?”
  • “What does this compile error mean?” (paste it, or just ask — it can read the output)
  • “Which pin should I use for I2C on this board?”
  • “Explain what this sketch does line by line.”

Mechanics

Section titled “Mechanics”
  • Enter sends, Shift+Enter makes a newline.
  • Attach an image with the paperclip (PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF up to 4 MB) — a photo of a real breadboard, a schematic, a screenshot.
  • Sessions: start a fresh conversation with +, revisit old ones from the history button.
  • The counter at the bottom shows your cycles quota for the day and the month — see plans.

Basic mode only talks. When you want the assistant to do things on the canvas, switch to Agent mode.
