The Powerhouse-Dynamics ConnectWare repoGitHub repository includes software simulators that are highly recommended tools for developing OKE (Open Kitchen Equipment) ports of the CWL (ConnectWare Library). The simulations can be used for debugging a new CWL port since they minimize the number of "moving parts" required to exercise an OKE system.

The Powerhouse-Dynamics ConnectWare GitHub repository contains a folder called sim. These are the compiled for Windows simulators.
CWM Simulation Instructions
...
The simulators were built using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 with the C/C++ tools. At the top level ConnectWare directory https://github.com/Powerhouse-Dynamics/connectware there is a solution file called ConnectWare.sln that contains projects for the three simulators.
...
Normally implementors will not need to rebuild the OKC or CWM simulators since precompiled versions are included in the sim directory. However, some implementors may find it useful to use and extend the OKE simulator as a way to prototype and debug parts of their application code.
