## What it is
An Arduino IDE plugin that decodes ESP8266/ESP32 exception stack traces into readable function names and line numbers. It is written in Java and installs as a tool inside the Arduino IDE.

## Use cases
- decode esp8266 crash stack traces
- make sense of esp32 exception backtraces
- find which function crashed on esp32
- debug arduino esp firmware crashes
- translate guru meditation error addresses to code lines

## When to choose
- you develop ESP8266/ESP32 firmware with the Arduino IDE and need to interpret crash stack traces
- you want a GUI tool that decodes pasted exception traces instantly

## When to avoid
- you need a command-line decoder (use EspStackTraceDecoder instead)
- you are not using the Arduino IDE or ESP8266/ESP32 cores
- you need decoding for other microcontroller platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools
- domain: embedded-systems, developer-tools, iot
- platform: cross-platform, editor-plugin, cli
- tags: arduino, esp8266, esp32, stack-trace-decoder, exception-decoder, arduino-ide-plugin, debugging
