To create a wire between two parts, just point to the pin/pad where you want to start the connection from. Click on the destination pin/pad to complete the connection. Advanced users can also connect the two pins using wires by editing the 'diagram.json' file. By default, the colour of the wire is green. You will find ways to change the colour in the below sections. If you want the wire to go a specific way you can click in the place where you want the wire to make a turn.

6 How to change the colour of the wire in the Wokwi Arduino simulator?

Changing the colours of the wire is not possible in the simulator window. You can change the colour of the wire by editing the diagram.json file. Here is how it is done
