# Simulators

The Binho Nova Simulator and Binho Supernova Simulator are integral features of the Binho Mission Control desktop application. These simulators accurately reflect their real-world counterparts, the Binho Nova and Binho Supernova host adapters. They provide a user-friendly environment for users to familiarize themselves with the Binho Mission Control App.

The Binho Nova Simulator mimics the behavior of the Binho Nova host adapter, simulating protocols such as GPIO, SPI, I2C, and 1-Wire. In the same vein, the Binho Supernova Simulator emulates the Binho Supernova host adapter, facilitating interactions with GPIO, I2C, I3C, and UART protocols. Both simulators are designed to act as introductory tools, allowing engineers and developers to acquaint themselves with the Binho Mission Control interface before working with the actual host adapters.

Both simulators come enabled by default and, when active, appear in the Available Devices list. If a simulator is connected, its device information will be displayed on the right side of the screen, as illustrated in the following image.
