       are there good ways of virtualizing different microcontrollers and such? I want to start learning embedded dev but don't have the cash rn to spend on electronics

       @0x4d6165@transfem.social i have an alternate suggestion:look into the zephyr rtos. it is used in real world devices. i have had two workplaces now that use it extensively, one of which contributes support to some of the microcontrollers it works with.it has a feature that allows you to simulate an RTOS environment and embedded application, but natively on a standard Linux PC. this includes even talking to simulated hardware peripherals over buses like SPI and I2C. this simulation is also used in the real world, for example to do automated software testing in CI.
