At the conclusion of this experiment, understudy will be able to:
• Get start with the Arduino board-based circuits simulation using Proteus
• To understand the operation of analog and digital pins using Proteus simulation
Required Software:
• Arduino IDE software
• Proteus Software

Introduction
Proteus is a simulation and electronic design development tool developed by Lab Center Electronics. It is
a very useful tool as it ensures that the circuit design or firmware code is working properly before you begin
to physically work on it.
It has an extensive number of components in its library which can be used to virtually design your circuit.
The designs you make can be easily compiled and debugged through Proteus’s virtual meters (voltmeter
and ammeter), oscilloscope, serial monitor, and more.

Getting Started with the Arduino board circuits simulation on Proteus

1. Step:01: - Adding Arduino UNO library into Proteus

Proteus doesn’t come with an inbuilt Arduino library, so you have to install it. Follow the steps below to
install it on your PC. Download the Arduino UNO library zip file from Internet. Extract the zip file there
will be two files in it:1) ARDUINO.LIB and 2) ARDUINO.IDX. Copy these and paste it in the library
folder of Proteus. If you are using Proteus 8 then Library folder will be within the data Folder (Proteus 8
Professional\Data\LIBRARY) OR Program Data (C:\ProgramData\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8
Professional\LIBRARY).

Copy both of the files and paste them in one of the following paths: C:\Program Files\Labcenter
Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY or C:\Program Files\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8
Professional\Data\LIBRARY.

Now, open Proteus and check whether the Arduino board libraries are installed properly or not.

2. Step:02: - Make the connections on the Arduino board-based circuit on Proteus

In Proteus, create a new project.

Decide where you would like to save your project.

Click Next once you are done and select the appropriate page layout according to your needs. After finishing
the settings, you will land on the empty workspace. Here, you can place components from the library.

Select the op-amp symbol, which changes the mode to component mode. Then click P, which will cause a
list of components to pop up. Here, you can find all types of components and footprints for simulation.

Search for Arduino in the component list. All Arduino related boards and connector libraries will display.
If none of the files display on your machine, you can repeat re-installing the Arduino library.

After selecting the library and clicking OK, click the spot on the workspace where you would like to drop
the board.

3. Step:03: -Make Hex File

Open Arduino Software and Click on file and then Preference and tick both of the Option "Compilation
and Upload " After writing your code, click on compile then you will get the Link of Your Hex file link at
the Output section. Now copy that link.

4. Step:04: -Upload the code on the Proteus

Click on the Arduino board in the Proteus and you will get the following window. In the program file
section paste that hex file link. Now there will be run button on the bottom left section of the project screen.
Click that to run simulation.

• Circuit to Design on Proteus

• Unlike pinMode(INPUT), there is no pull-down resistor necessary. An internal 20K-ohm resistor

is pulled to 5V. This configuration causes the input to read HIGH when the switch is open, and
LOW when it is closed.

• If you use INPUT_PULLUP, the button is active-low (pressed = LOW, released = HIGH).

• Now, your button should work without needing an external resistor:

• Button Pressed (LOW) → LED ON

• Button Released (HIGH) → LED OFF

Example 03: - Write an Arduino program that takes temperature sensor input from analog pin, and
shows the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit on virtual terminal.

• Arduino Code

"two" serially, it turns on LED 2. Else it sends error message.

Exercise Tasks:-

1) Write an Arduino code that turns off the LED when a push button is pressed and turns it on when
the button is released. Attach Proteus Simulation along with the Arduino code.

2) Write a program to control the LED brightness with a potentiometer and simulate this on the
Proteus.

3) Prepare a source code for which consider a potentiometer is connected to an analog input pin while
the code reads the voltage and turns ON a specific LED according to the given input:
• If voltage is in between 0 to 2, the LED on pin:13 is turned ON.
• If voltage is in between 2 to 3.5, the LED on pin:14 is turned ON.
• If voltage is in between 3.5 to 5, the LED on pin:15 is turned ON.

4) Write a source code to design a system, that continuously checks Serial data, if data is “FAN”, it
should turn on FAN and turn off HEATER, but if received data is “HTR”, the heater should be turn
ON and Fan should be OFF. Prepare a source code that reads data from Serial port and if the data
on Serial port is x, your name should be sent over serial port.

5) Write an Arduino program to allow Three Push Buttons to control a set of Eight (8) LEDs in the
following manner:
i) When the first push button is pressed, all the LEDs should be turned ON and OFF with
delay of (your roll number)+ 500 milli seconds.
When the second push button is pressed, the switching delay sets to 400 msec.
ii) When the third push button is pressed, the switching delay sets to 200 msec.

Note: Attach the Proteus simulation and programming code of the labs tasks along with the handouts.
