Just describe your idea. Codey writes the code, draws the wiring diagram, compiles it in the cloud, and uploads it straight to your board — all from one browser tab. No IDE, no driver hell, no setup.
It can generate G-code directly, making it useful for reverse engineering physical objects for manufacturing.
“Expensive, but cheaper than rehiring a drafter for three months.” – ★★★★☆
Beyond basic tracing, it can identify specific CAD entities like arcs, circles, and dashed lines.
This is Scan2CAD’s . It recognizes engineering lettering (ISO, Gothic, RomanS) even when rotated or distorted. Output text becomes editable MTEXT or single-line TXT in CAD.
Many users find the environment intuitive, describing it as a "stripped-back" hybrid of Photoshop and Illustrator. It is noted for being easy to jump into without extensive training. Specialized Features:
| Complaint | Frequency | Workaround / Response from Vendor | |-----------|-----------|-----------------------------------| | “Crashes on 4K monitors with scaling >150%” | Medium | Run in Windows 8 compatibility mode. | | “No native macOS version” | High | Use Parallels or Crossover (Wine works partially). | | “Cannot undo after batch conversion” | Low | Always duplicate raster before batch processing. | | “License deactivation requires contacting support” | Medium | Use the ‘Deactivate’ option before reinstalling OS. |
“Scan2CAD turned a 1982 hand-drawn logic diagram into a clean OrCAD schematic. Magic.” – ★★★★★
Effectively converts text within images into editable vector text.
This is the heart of the software. Scan2CAD offers multiple conversion methods:
In simple terms, it takes a "dumb" image (like a scanned blueprint or a logo screenshot) and traces the lines and text automatically, turning them into "smart" vector geometry that can be edited in CAD software like AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks.
Every Codey project comes with a real wiring diagram. Color-coded wires, labeled pins, and a complete connection table — exportable as PDF or printed straight from your browser.
Red for 5V, black for GND, signals in distinct colors — exactly how you'd draw it on paper, only neater.
Below every diagram you get a Wire From → To list with pin labels, so you can wire your circuit without guessing.
One click to download a printable PDF of the diagram — handy for workshops, classrooms or your own build log.
Codey ships with a library of common modules: OLED displays, DHT11/22, HC-SR04, servos, relays, MOSFETs, RGB LEDs and many more.
Codey works out of the box with the most popular development boards. Plug one in over USB, pick it from the dropdown, and start vibing.
The classic. ATmega328P @ 16 MHz, 14 digital I/O, 6 analog inputs. Perfect for beginners.
Compact ATmega328P board. Same brains as the UNO, breadboard-friendly form factor.
54 digital I/O and 16 analog inputs. The go-to when one UNO simply isn't enough.
The popular WROOM-32 module. Dual-core 240 MHz, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, 30 GPIO.
Beefy S3: 16 MB Flash, 8 MB PSRAM, native USB-CDC. Two USB ports — Codey knows which is which.
RISC-V single-core, ultra-low-power, USB-C and a built-in OLED. Tiny but very capable.
More boards added regularly. Direct USB upload over Web Serial — no drivers, no Arduino IDE required.
If you love vibe coding with Cursor or Claude Code, you'll feel right at home in Codey. Same describe-it-and-it-builds flow — except Codey runs your code on a real Arduino or ESP32, not on a server.

Cursor and Claude Code are excellent general-purpose AI coding tools — we use them ourselves. They're just not made for blinking an LED on a microcontroller. Codey Online fills that gap. Cursor® is a trademark of Anysphere Inc.; Claude™ and Claude Code™ are trademarks of Anthropic PBC. Not affiliated with either company.
Start vibing for free. Upgrade for unlimited AI and pro power.
For students and hobbyists.
For makers and creators.
Codey Online is built by OTRONIC, a Netherlands-based electronics company. We're passionate about making hardware programming accessible to everyone — from primary-school kids to professional firmware engineers.
We saw too many beginners give up on the traditional Arduino IDE because of driver issues, missing libraries and cryptic C++ errors. Codey closes that gap with modern AI and Web Serial — so you can stay in the flow and just vibe your way to a finished project.
