When do I use a credit?

Three actions use 1 credit each: generating a wiring schematic, generating/modifying code via AI chat, and finalizing your project to flash. Browsing projects, editing code manually, exploring version history, or visiting the community are always free.

What happens if finalization fails?

No credit is charged. The system compiles and automatically tries to fix issues. If it still doesn't work, you get a clear message and can refine requirements in chat or reach out to us.

Can I re-flash the same project without paying?

Yes. Once finalized, your project's binary stays ready: you can flash it via USB or POTA as many times as you want on as many devices as you want with no additional credits. Only modifying the code requires a new finalization.

PleaseDontCode is an AI-powered platform that generates wiring schematics and ready-to-use firmware for microcontrollers. Users describe their device in natural language, select a supported board (ESP32, ESP8266, Arduino, and others), and the AI produces a synchronized schematic and code. The firmware can be flashed to the board via USB or over WiFi (POTA). Each device gets a real-time monitoring dashboard with configurable widgets for remote control and data visualization. The platform is designed for startups, companies, and commercial hardware shops to accelerate IoT prototyping and deployment without requiring embedded programming expertise.
