- TIL electronics.stackexchange has CircuitLab built-in: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/241537/3-3v-... . Autodesk TinkerCAD is a neat, free, web-based circuit simulator, too; though it supports Arduino and bbc:micro but not (yet?) Pi Pico like Wokwi.
There is at least one RP2040 JS simulator:
Wokwi appears to support {MicroPython, CircuitPython,} on {Pi Pico} and also Rust on ESP32:

>> The Raspberry Pi Pico W board was launched with a WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 5.2 module based on the Infineon CYW43439 wireless chip in June 2022
bluekitchen/btstack is the basis for the Bluetooth support i Pi Pico SDK 1.5.0+:

- There is a web-based MicroPython REPL, and it only works over HTTP due to WebSockets WSS, so it's best to clone that file locally: http://micropython.org/webrepl/ https://github.com/micropython/webrepl/

https://vscode.dev/ is the official hosted copy of VSCode as WASM in a browser tab. YMMV with which extensions work after compilation to WASM and without WASI (node/fs,) in a browser tab.
From "MicroPython officially becomes part of the Arduino ecosystem" (2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33699666 :
> [in addition to the Arduino IDE support for Pi Pico now] For VSCode, there are a number of extensions for CircuitPython and MicroPython:
