DS1307 Library for Proteus

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's post, I am going to share a new DS1307 Library for Proteus. Recently, I have shared the GSM Library for Proteus, which was really appreciated by the readers so I got quite excited and have designed another new Proteus Library. Currently I am working on many Proteus Libraries. In future, I am gonna design almost all the sensors in Proteus. So stay tuned with us.

Anyways coming to today's post, today we are gonna have a look at DS1307 Library for Proteus. Using this library, now you can quite easily simulate DS1307 module in Proteus in a quite stylish way. ;) I have designed it in red color because its available in red color in market. DS1307 module is already available in Proteus but that one is quite basic and it looks quite dull. The one designed by our team looks quite attractive and is also easy to use. I will post its tutorials soon in which I will interface it with Arduino and PIC Microcontroller. You should also have a look at DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus. So, let's get started with DS1307 Library for Proteus:

DS1307 Library for Proteus

• First of all, download the DS1307 Library for Proteus, by clicking the below button:

DS1307 Library for Proteus

• Now, when you click this button you will get a rar file so unrar this file and in it you will find two files named as:
• RTCModuleTEP.IDX
• RTCModuleTEP.LIB
• Place both of these files in the library folder of your Proteus software.
• Now restart your Proteus software or open it.
• In the search component bx, search for RTCModuleTEP or DS1307 and place it in your workspace.
• If everything goes fine then you will get your RTC Module DS1307 as shown in below figure:

• That's it, now you have the ready to use DS1307 module in Proteus.
• You need to add a crystal oscillator between X1 and X2 pins while the remaining are used for I2C Protocol, which is a common protocol for RTC Modules.
• I will also post a tutorial in which I will interface this RTC Module with Arduino or PIC Microcontroller and then you will get a better idea of how to use it.
• If you design some project using this DS1307 Library for Proteus then do share it with our community so that others could also get benefit out of it.

So, that's all for today. You should also have a look at these New Proteus Libraries for Engineering Students. I hope you are gonna enjoy this DS1307 Library for Proteus. If you have any suggestions or feedback then do let us know in comments. Till next tutorial, take care and have fun!!! :)

Send SMS with SIM900D in Proteus ISIS

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new exciting post on Send SMS with SIM900D in Proteus ISIS. In my previous post, I have shared the new GSM Library for Proteus, which is the first ever designed library for Proteus, and I am quite excited while sharing its features. So, today, we will use this GSM Lirbary for Proteus and we are gonna send sms with Sim900D module available in that library. We are gonna design this whole project in Proteus ISIS.

If you wanna implement it on hardware then you must have a look at Send SMS with SIM900D module with Arduino which is designed in real hardware but today we are gonna just do the simulation part. Iam not gonna use any Microcontroller today. Instead I will just send the AT commands through virtual Terminal and we will make it work.So, let's get started with Send SMSM with Sim900D in Proteus ISIS.

Send SMS with SIM900D in Proteus ISIS

• First of all, I assume that you have already installed the GSM Library for Proteus. If you haven't then first intall it because without this library you can't use GSM module in Proteus ISIS.
• Next thing you need to do is to design a circuit as shown in the below figure:

• Now we need to run the simulation, so run it and in your virtual terminal, send these commands as shown in below figure:

• The first AT command is for testing our GSM module and as it has given OK in reply so it means its working correctly.
• The second command AT+CMGF=1 is for converting our GSM module to text messages, which it has accepted correctly and has given us OK in reply.
• Now we are ready to send our SMS.
• So, in order to do that we have to send it the command, as shown in below figure:

• Now you can see, when I have given it the command which is AT+CMGS="+923326062060" , it has accepted it and replied back with this sign ">" , now the GSM module is actually asking for the message body.
• So, let me write some text and then when I enter the Cntrl+Z command then it will send the message as shown in below figure:

• So, I have given it the text of my blog link and then when I entered Cntrl+Z then it has sent the SMS and replied me back with +CMGS: 01 means its the first SMS sent from this GSM module.
• So, that's how you can send any nmber of messages as you want from this module.
• AS its a simulation, so obviously you are not gonna get the actual message on your mobile number but you can use it for testing your codes.
• In the next post, I am gonna hopefully implement it using Arduino board or PIC Microcontroller.

So, that's all for today, I hope you have enjoyed the Send SMS with Sim900D in Proteus ISIS software. Till next tutorial, take care and have fun!!! :)

GSM Library for Proteus

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's post, I am going to share GSM Library for Proteus. Yeah you have read absolutely fine, today I am gonna share the most awaited and most demanded Proteus Library. :) Till now, I have received hundreds of suggestions and requests about this Library and I have always told them that its under designing process and I will post it real soon. So finally the wait is over and we have our new GSM Library for Proteus, ready to download and simulate in Proteus. Using this GSM library for Proteus, now you can easily simulate your GSM module in Proteus and can test your code. :)

As its the first version of our GSM Library so its not complete or perfect. It is really the basic model of GSM Library and rite now it will only support some commands, which I will post below. I am still working on it and I will soon update these files and will add more commands in it but till then you have to use these commands only. Moreover, this Library contains only one module in it which is SIM900D module. I will add more soon like SIM900A and Sim300 etc. real soon. I will also interface it with different Microcontrollers like Arduino or PIC Microcontroller etc. and will share their tutorials. So. let's get started with GSM Library for Proteus:

Note: Other Proteus Libraries are as follows:

• Arduino Library for Proteus.
• Genuino Library for Proteus.
• GPS Library for Proteus.
• XBee Library for Proteus.
• Ultrasonic Sensor Library for Proteus.
• PIR Library for Proteus.
• Bluetooth Library for Proteus.

GSM Library for Proteus

• First of all, download the GSM Library for Proteus by clicking the below button:

GSM Library for Proteus

• When you download it, you will get three files in it which are:
  • GSMLibraryTEP.IDX
  • GSMLibraryTEP.LIB
  • GSMLibraryTEP.HEX
• Place all these files in the Libraries folder of your Proteus software.

Note:

• If you are new to Proteus 7 or 8 Professional, then you should have a look at How to add new Library in Proteus 8 Professional.

• Now, open your Proteus software or restart it if its already open and in components list search for SIM900D and you will get three results for it.
• Place all of them in your Proteus workspace and they will look like as shown in below figure:

• Now, you can see in the above figure that we have three GSM Modules in our Proteus software.
• These three GSM modules are exactly same in functionality as you can see they all have two pins on them which are TX and RX and they are only differ in color but they all work on Serial Port.
• One is in light blue color which is kind of our theme color, next one is in green color while the last one is in red color.
• So, now let's have a look at how you can use it in your Proteus simulations.
• Double click any of them and in the program file section, browse to the GSMLibraryTEP.HEX file and upload it in SIM900D module as shown in below figure:

• AS you can see in the above figure that I have uploaded the GSMLibraryTEP.HEX file in the Program file section.
• Now click OK and interface a Virtual Terminal with SIM900D, as shown in below figure:

• Now, I am gonna run my simulation and will send it AT commands we will check the response of this GSM module. :)

• Now these are some basic commands, which are rite now supported by this version of GSM Module.
• It won't be able to send or receive SMS rite now because these functionalities are not added yet but they are coming soon, as I am still working on it.

Note: Here's the complete list of commands currently supported by this Sim900D module:

• AT
• AT+CPIN?
• AT+CSQ
• AT+CGMI
• AT+COPS?
• AT+CGMM
• AT+CGSN
• AT+CNUM
• ATA
• ATH
• AT+COLP
• AT+CLIP
• AT+VTS=1
• AT+CSMP?
• AT+CSCS?
• AT+CSCS="HEX"
• AT+CSMP
• AT+CNMI=1,2,0,0,0
• AT+CMGF=1
• AT+CMGD=1

• So, these are the commands which are currently supported by this Version 1.0 of our SIM900D GSM Module. I am gonna add more soon. :)
• Now, here's a quick video in which I have shown its working, which will give you the better idea of this GSM Module.

Upgrade # 1: Send SMS with Sim900D

• I have upgraded this GSM Library for Proteus and have added a new feature in it which is SMS sending.
• Now you can easily send SMS using this GSM Module.
• For details on How to do it with Arduino, you should read Send SMS with Sim900D in Proteus ISIS.
• You should also have a look at How to Receive SMS with AT Commands using SIM900D and Arduino.
• If you are working on PIC Microcontroller then here's how you can receive SMS using SIM900D and PIC Microcontroller.

That's all for today, I hope you are gonna enjoy this GSM Module. Must write your experience in the below comments which will work as a boost for me and I will design it even faster. :) So, till next tutorial, take care and have fun !!! :)

DC Motor Direction Control with Arduino in Proteus

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with life. Today, I am going to share DC Motor Direction Control with Arduino. I have designed a complete simulation in Proteus, which will help you in understanding the controlling of DC motor. I would recommend you to first read How to Control relay in Proteus ISIS which will help you in understanding the functionality of relays because in today's tutorial, I have used relays to do the DC Motor Direction Control. I have already posted a tutorial on DC Motor Drive Circuit in Proteus ISIS.

So, for DC Motor Direction Control, I have used Arduino UNO baord, so you should also download this Arduino Library for Proteus so that you can use Arduino boards in Proteus software. I have also provide the simulation and the code for DC Motor Direction Control but I would recommend you to design it on your own so that you learn from it. If you have any problem then ask in comments and I will try to resolve them. In this project, I have used Serial Terminal. So, whenever someone, sends character "C" on serial terminal then the motor will move in Clockwise Direction and when someone sends character "A" then it will move in Anti-clockwise Direction and will stop on character "S". Anyways, lets get started with DC Motor Direction Control with Arduino in Proteus ISIS.

DC Motor Direction Control with Arduino in Proteus ISIS

• You can download the Proteus simulation for DC Motor Direction Control by clicking the below button:

Download Proteus Simulation for DC Motor

• So, now let's move on with designing it, first of all get the below components from Proteus and place them in your workspace:

• Now, design a circuit in Proteus software, as shown in below figure:

• You can see in the above figure that I have used two relays which I have used for DC Motor Direction Control.
• Moreover, there's a Virtual Terminal through which I am sending the commands.
• I have used Arduino UNO board for DC Motor Direction Control through Virtual Terminal. You should download the Arduino Library for Proteus so that you can use it in Proteus.
• Now upload the below code in your Arduino software and get the hex file. You should read how to get the Hex file from Arduino.

int Motor1 = 2;
int Motor2 = 3;

void setup() {
  pinMode(Motor1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(Motor2, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  if(Serial.available())
  {
    char data = Serial.read();
    Serial.println(data);
    if(data == 'C'){MotorClockwise();}
    if(data == 'A'){MotorAntiClockwise();}
    if(data == 'S'){MotorStop();}
  }
}

void MotorAntiClockwise()
{
  digitalWrite(Motor1, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(Motor2, LOW);
}

void MotorClockwise()
{
  digitalWrite(Motor1, LOW);
  digitalWrite(Motor2, HIGH);
}

void MotorStop()
{
  digitalWrite(Motor1, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(Motor2, HIGH);
}

• In the above code, I have designed three functions which I am calling on Serial receive.
• The code is quite self explanatory but if you got problem then ask in comments and I will resolve them.
• Once everything's done then run your simulation and if you have done fine then it will start working as shown in below figure:

• Obviously, you can't see a moving DC motor in an image but you can get the idea from Relays position in above figure. :)
• The below video will give you the better idea of How it works.

So, that's all for today. Hopefully now you have got the idea of How to do DC Motor Direction Control with Arduino in Proteus ISIS. In the next tutorial, I am gonna add speed control of DC Motor. So, till then take care and have fun. :)

Bluetooth Library for Proteus

Hello friends, hope you all are fine. Today, I am going to share a new Bluetooth Library for Proteus. Using this Library, now you can quite easily use Bluetooth modules in Proteus ISIS. I have designed two Bluetooth modules which are HC-05 and HC-06. We all know about these modules. We use these modules for sending data through Bluetooth. Till now, there's no such Bluetooth Library designed for Proteus and we are the first developers of this awesome Bluetooth Library for Proteus. I hope you guys are gonna like it. I have also posted a tutorial in which I have done Arduino Bluetooth Communication using HC05 in hardware. I hope that one will also be interesting to read, if you have planned to start working on Bluetooth Module.

Other bloggers are welcome to share this Bluetooth Library for Proteus on their blogs but do mention our link as a respect to our efforts. These Bluetooth modules are not gonna accept AT Commands rite now as we haven't added much functionality in it but we are gonna add more soon. I will also add more Bluetooth modules in this library and will update it with time. Rite now, it just has two Bluetooth modules in it, which are:

• Bluetooth Module HC-05
• Bluetooth Module HC-06

You can do serial communication with these modules quite easily. So, let's get started with Bluetooth Library for Proteus an see How to install it and how to use it in Proteus.

Note: Other Proteus Libraries are as follows:

• Arduino Library for Proteus.
• GPS Library for Proteus
• XBee Library for Proteus
• Ultrasonic Sensor Library for Proteus
• PIR Library for Proteus

Bluetooth Library for Proteus

• So, first of all, download this Bluetooth Library for Proteus by clicking the below button:

Bluetooth Library for Proteus

• In this rar file, you will find two files which are named as:
  • BluetoothTEP.IDX
  • BluetoothTEP.LIB
• So, download these two files and place them in the library folder of your Proteus ISIS software.

Note:

• If you are new to Proteus 7 or 8 Professional, then you must have a look at How to add new Library in Proteus.

• Now open your Proteus software or restart it if its already open and search for Bluetooth and you will get something as shown in below figure:

• Now select both of these modules and place them in your workspace and it will look like something as shown in below figure:

• As, I told earlier, we have just used the basic TX and RX pins of these Bluetooth modules.
• That's why you can see in the above figure that only TXD and RXD are working while all others are not working.
• Let's have a look at it working, so let's design a simple circuit and do the communication between these two Bluetooth modules.
• If you haven't worked on Virtual Terminals then you should read How to use Virtual Terminal in Proteus.
• So, design a simple circuit as shown in below figure:

• Now click any HC-05 module and you will get a pop up window.
• In this window, select COM1 for first HC05 module and COM2 for second HC05 module.
• Now your COM1 and COM2 should be virtually connected, I have shown how to connect the COM ports virtually in the below video.
• Now, run your simulation and whatever you send in first terminal will show in second terminal and vice versa.

That's all for today, hope you have liked this post and are gonna enjoy it. Let me know about your remarks for this Bluetooth Library for Proteus. Have fun !!! :)

Arduino Bluetooth Communication using HC05

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new project in which we are gonna do Arduino Bluetooth communication. The Bluetooth module I have used for this project is HC-05, which is a serial Bluetooth module. We can quite easily perform the Bluetooth communication with this module using Arduino board. I have worked on many projects in which I have to send the data from sensors to my computer via Bluetooth. So, in such projects I normally use this Bluetooth module which is connected with the sensors and then Arduino gets the data from these sensors and then send this data to computer via Bluetooth module. In this project, I have used Arduino board but you can use PIC Microcontroller or 8051 Microcontroller as well. Because they both have the Serial pins on them.

Note:

Before reading any further, I think you must have a look at the below post from where you can download the Bluetooth Library for Proteus, using this library you can easily simulate HC-05 or , HC-06 in Proteus software:

• Bluetooth Library for Proteus

I have also done Bluetooth communication with Android mobiles. In these projects I have sent the data from this Bluetooth module to Android mobiles but in such projects I have also designed Bluetooth app on which this data is received. Anyways, that's a topic of another tutorial. Today, I am gonna connect this Bluetooth module with Arduino board and then will send some data to my computer using Bluetooth. So, let's get started with Arduino Bluetooth communication using HC-05 module.

Arduino Bluetooth Communication using HC-05

• First of all, what you need to do is to buy the Arduino board. I have designed this project using Arduino UNO board but you can buy any of the Arduino Microcontroller board.
• Next thing you are gonna need is Bluetooth module which is HC-05. But this tutorial will also work for HC-06 or HC-07.
• Now if you have seen HC-05 then the pins are written on it so connect them with your Arduino board as shown below:

• This pin configuration is also shown in the below figure:

• Now that you have connected your Arduino board with the Bluetooth module HC-05 so you are ready to do the Arduino Bluetooth communication.
• Now upload the below code in your Arduino board:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(2, 3);

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  mySerial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() 
{
  if (mySerial.available())
    Serial.write(mySerial.read());
  if (Serial.available())
    mySerial.write(Serial.read());
}

• Its a simple software serial code in which we are sending data from our Serial terminal to Bluetooth means whatever you write in your serial terminal will be sent over to Bluetooth and whatever you receive on your Bluetooth will be shown in serial terminal.
• Now, download this Serial monitor software, I have designed this software and its quite simple one. You can use any other serial monitor like Virtual Terminal in Proteus or Hyper Terminal in Windows XP.
• We are gonna use this software to get the data on our computer via Bluetooth and you computer must have the Bluetooth in your computer. :P
• So, download this software by clicking the below button and you can read more about it Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 - Com Port Tutorial.

Download Serial Terminal

• Now turn on your Arduino and search for the Bluetooth device in your Bluetooth settings and paired with it as shown in below figure.
• The default pin code for HC-05 is 1234.

• Now you can see I have paired the HC-05 device.
• Now, open this software and connect with the COM port of your Bluetooth device.
• The Bluetooth device generates two COM ports in my case it generated COM11 and COM12 but COM11 worked.
• So, I connected with COM11 and then whatever I entered in my software is shown on the serial monitor of my Arduino and whatever I entered in the Serial monitor of Arduino is shown in the serial terminal software.
• Its quite simple and you can do it quite easily.

So, that's all for today and I hope you are gonna make it work in the single attempt. If still having problems then ask in comments and I will resolve them. So, today we have done Arduino Bluetooth communication using HC-05 module.

XBee Library for Proteus

Hello everyone, today I am going to share a new XBee Library for Proteus. I am quite excited while sharing it as we are the first developer for this XBee Library. Now you can quite easily use XBee module in your Proteus software using this XBee Library for Proteus.Wehave spent quite a lot of time in developing this and that's the reason I couldn't share new tutorials in the past few days. Anyways we are done with this new exciting XBee Library for Proteus, hope you are gonna enjoy this one. I have already sharede two libraried for Proteus which are Arduino Library for Proteus and GPS Library for Proteus. You can also interface this XBee module with Microcontrollers like Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and 8051 Microcontroller quite easily.

As its the first version of our XBee Library for Proteus so its not quite perfect and can't do the complex tasks such as analog inputs etc. It will just do the serial communication. This xbee module has two pins TX and RX and you can do your communication with it quite easily. We have designed this XBee Library for Proteus, after quite a lot of effort and we are quite proud that we are presenting it first time for Proteus. Other bloggers are welcome to share this library on their blogs to share the knowledge but do mention our blog post link in your post. :) You should also have a look at XBee Arduino Interfacing. So, let's get started with it.

XBee Library for Proteus

• First of all, download this XBee Library for Proteus by clicking on the below button:

XBee Library for Proteus

• Now once you click it you will get a zip file to download so download this zip and open it.
• In this zip file you will get two files named as:
  • XBeeTEP.LIB
  • XBeeTEP.IDX
• So, now place these two files in the libraries folder of your Proteus software.

Note:

• If you are new to Proteus 7 or 8 Professional, then you should have a look at How to add new Library in Proteus 8 Professional.

• Now, start your Proteus ISIS software or restart it if its already running.
• Go to your components library and search for XBee Module as shown in below figure:

• Now place it in your workspace and it will look something as shown in below figure:

• If you don't know much about xbee module then you should also have a look at Introduction to XBee Module.
• As you can see in the above figure, its our xbee module in Proteus for the first time.
• As, I mentioned earlier, its a first version of xbee module so its not very advanced and it will do just the basic serial communication i.e. sending and receiving data.
• It has two pins on it which are TX and RX and using these two pins you can send and receive data quite easily.
• So, let's design a simple example and we will see How to do the Serial communication using this new XBee library for Proteus.
• Design a simple circuit as shown in below figure:

• Now what I did is, I simply place a Virtual terminal with both of these xbee modules.
• Now we need to change the Properties of one of these XBee module so double click on any one of these and you will get the below window:

• You should also have a look at Interfacing of XBee with Computer.
• Now, I have simply changed the Physical Port of this module to COM2 while the other module is at COM1.

• So, now one of my XBee module is at COM1 while the second module is at COM2.
• Now when I run my simulation then both XBee will start sending and receiving data on their respective COM Ports.
• So, what I need to do is to virtually combine these two ports and for that I have used a software named as Virtual Software Driver from Eltima and I combine these two ports.
• Now, run your simulation and whatever you type in the Virtual Terminal of first xbee will appear in the virtual terminal of second xbee. as shown in below figure:

• You can also interface this XBee modue with other microcontrollers like Arduino, PIC Microcontrollers or 8051 Microcontrollers etc.
• I have explained this whole tutorial in below video as well.

I hope you have enjoyed it and are gonna like it. Let me know if you got into any trouble and have problems in using this library. Also share your suggestions about improvement in this XBee Library for Proteus. :)

GPS Library for Proteus

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's tutorial, I am gonna share another awesome library designed by our team for Proteus, which is GPS Library for Proteus. It's my second library for Proteus, the first one was Arduino Library for Proteus which I have already shared. I am really enjoying designing these modules in Proteus because its a new and quite challenging thing. I haven't found even a single website who has designed these modules in Proteus already. So, now for the first time, you can have the GPS Library for Proteus using which you can easily simulate your GPS module in Proteus and can design your code for Arduino, PIC Microcontroller or 8051 Microcontroller.

Other bloggers are welcome to share this library and its my humble request that do mention our blog in credits. :) The GPS module, I have designed for Proteus is a simple GPS which has TX and RX pins and when you start the simulation, this module starts sending the NMEA data on its TX pin, which you can easily check using Virtual Terminal. I am gonna show you how to check it in today's post. Another important thing, obviously in Proteus Simulation we can't get the actual values of longitude,latitude etc, so in our model, I have used the dummy values for all these data. The benefit of this module is that you can easily design your code for GPS and can test it in your simulation. Plus, its design is cool as well. ;)

Note:

• Other Proteus Libraries are as follows:
  • Arduino Library for Proteus.
  • Genuino Library for Proteus.
  • GPS Library for Proteus.
  • GSM Library for Proteus.
  • XBee Library for Proteus.
  • Ultrasonic Sensor Library for Proteus.
  • PIR Library for Proteus.
  • Bluetooth Library for Proteus.
  • DS1307 Library for Proteus.
• You should also check Interfacing of GPS Module with Arduino in Proteus ISIS, in which I have shared How to use this GPS Module with Arduino board.

GPS Library for Proteus

• First of all, click on the below button and download GPS Library for Proteus.

GPS Library for Proteus

• After downloading, you will get a zip file containing three files in it.
• Now extract all these three files named as:
  • GpsTEP.LIB
  • GpsTEP.IDX
  • GpsTEP.HEX
• Place these files in Libraries folder of your Proteus software.

Note:

• If you are having trouble in adding library to your Proteus 7 or 8 Professional, then you should have a look at How to add new Library in Proteus 8.

• Now open your Proteus software, if you have already opened it then restart your Proteus software.
• Now in components list search for GPS Module and place it in your workspace.
• If everything's fine then you will get your module as shown in below figure:

• As you can see in the above figure, it has two pins in total which are TX and RX.
• Now double click this GPS module and you will get to its properties as shown in below figure:

• Now, one last thing you need to do is to upload the GpsTEP.HEX file, which you got in the downloaded zip file, in the Program File section.
• This GpsTEP.HEX file is essential for this model as its adding the functionality of GPS in this model.
• So, after adding the link of GpsTEP.HEX file in the Program File section, now your Gps module is ready to use in your circuit.
• So, now let's add a Virtual terminal and check the output of this GPS Module. If you haven't worked on Virtual Terminal before then you should read How to use Virtual Terminal in Proteus ISIS.
• Design a small circuit as shown in below figure:

Note:

• The baud rate of this GPS Module is 9600.
• The data sent by this GPS module is dummy as we can't get these values in simulation.

• Now let's run the simulation and check the Virtual Terminal and if everything goes fine then you will get results as shown in below figure:

• The first line is just the intro for this module and after that you will start receiving data which is in NMEA format.
• NMEA data will remain constant but will keep on coming.
• Now, instead of using this Virtual Terminal, you can use any microcontroller here like Arduino, PIC Microcontroller or 8051 Microcontroller etc. and can write your code easily and test it.
• In my coming tutorials, I am gonna share examples for this GPS module in which I will interface it with different Microcontroller.
• In the below video, I have explained this tutorial again so if you got any trouble then watch it as well.

That's all for today. You should also have a look at Interfacing of GPS Module with Arduino in Proteus ISIS. I hope you guys have enjoyed today's post and are gonna get benefit from it. Let me know your views about today's tutorial and also give your suggestions and help us in making this GPS Library for Proteus more smarter. :)

Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus

Update: We have created a new version of this library, which you can check here: Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus V2.0.

---

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's post, I am gonna share Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus. Recently, I have shared Arduino Nano Library for Proteus, and before that I have also posted Arduino UNO Library for Proteus as well as Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus, and now I am gonna share Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus. Arduino Pro Mini is another Arduino board which also uses the same Atmega328 Microcontroller and has almost the same number of pins as Arduino UNO and Arduino Nano. Arduino Pro Mini is even more smaller than Arduino Nano board. It doesn't have the programmer on it so if you need to program it you have to use some TTL to Serial converter or you can also use Arduino UNO board in order to burn programming code in it. So, in today's tutorial, I am gonna share the Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus, which is the first library ever made for this board. You won't find the Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus anywhere. I am quite proud that our blog is sharing this library for the first time. You can download this library freely from the link below and can now simulate your circuits quite easily. So, now let's get started with this new Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus. I have added all the Arduino boards in a single library. This library contains six Arduino boards which are Arduino UNO, Arduino Mega 2560, Arduino Mega 1280, Arduino Nano, Arduino Mini and Arduino Pro Mini. You can download this complete Arduino Library by checking Arduino Library for Proteus.

Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus

• First of all, download the Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus by clicking the below button.

Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus

• Now when you click it, you will get a zip file so extract this zip file and you will get two files named as ArduinoProMiniTEP.LIB and ArduinoProMiniTEP.IDX.
• So download these two files and place it in the libraries folder of your Proteus software.

Note:

• If you are using Proteus 7 or 8 Professional, then you should have a look at How to add new Library in Proteus 8 Professional.

• Now, after getting the Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus files and placing it properly in your Proteus software. Open your Proteus software and make a search for Arduino Pro Mini.
• Once you get this board, place it in your Proteus workspace and it will look like something as shown in below figure:

• Now next thing you need to do is to read How to get hex Fie from Arduino, so that you can get the hex file, which we are gonna upload in this Arduino Pro Mini board.
• So, once you get the link for your hex file, simply double click this board to open its properties.
• Now place this hex file in the Program File section of its Properties section as we have seen in Arduino Nano Library for Proteus tutorial.
• That's all, now using this Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus, you can easily simulate your circuits in Proteus and can test your codes.
• Now, let's design a simple blinking example as we have done for previous libraries.
• So, in order to dos so, design a simple circuit in Proteus as shown in below figure:

• So, now as usual, use the blink example from the Arduino software and get your hex file as described in How to get hex file from Arduino.
• So, after uploading the hex file, run your simulation. If everything goes fine then you will get results as shown in below figure:

• So, now that's how you can simulate Arduino Pro Mini in Proteus using Arduino Pro Mini Library for Proteus.

Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus

Update: We have created a new version of this library, which you can check here: Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus V2.0.

Hello friends, hope you all are fine. In today's post, I am going to share Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus. In the previous post, I have shared the Arduino UNO Library for Proteus and I have mentioned that I am gonna share more Arduino Libraries soon. Actually these days I am quite excited about this Proteus component designing and I am designing the Arduino boards as a starter. So, till now I have designed two Arduino boards in Proteus. First one was Arduino UNO which I have provided for download in previous post and today, I am going to share Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus.

In the coming posts, I am gonna share more exciting libraries for Proteus as I have already started designing the Arduino Nano board in Proteus, which will be the talk of our next tutorial hopefully. We all know about Arduino Mega 2560 board which is quite bigger version of Arduino UNO board and uses Atmega2560 Microcontroller. In the below post, I have first given the link to download Arduino Mega Library and afterwards I have explained How to use Arduino Mega board in Proteus by designing a simple blinking LED circuit as we did for Arduino UNO simulation in Proteus. So, let's get started with it.

I have added all the Arduino boards in a single library. This library contains six Arduino boards which are Arduino UNO, Arduino Mega 2560, Arduino Mega 1280, Arduino Nano, Arduino Mini and Arduino Pro Mini. You can download this complete Arduino Library by checking Arduino Library for Proteus.

Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus

• First of all, click the below button to download the Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus.

Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus

• Now download this library and you will find a zip file.
• Extract this zip file, it will contain two files named as ArduinoUnoTEP.LIB and ArduinoUnoTEP.IDX.
• Place these files in the library folder of your Proteus software.

Note:

• If you are using Proteus 7 or 8 Professional, then you should have a look at How to add new Library in Proteus 8 Professional.

• Now we have placed our Arduino Mega 2560 library for Proteus files in the libraries folder of Proteus software. So, now run your Proteus software and search Arduino Mega 2560.
• Place this Arduino board in your workspace and it will look like something as shown in below figure:

• It has become quite big but looking quite attractive and I am feeling kind of proud on my new invention. :)
• Anyways, now next thing we need to do is to upload the hex file in it.
• So, in order to do so, we need to double click the Arduino Mega 2560 board and its properties panel will poop up as shown in below figure:

• Now browse for your hex file in the section PROGRAM FILE or paste the link as we did in previous Arduino UNO post.
• You should read How to get Hex File from Arduino if you don't know already.
• You can also change different options here but my suggestion is to not change anything else if you are not pro.
• So, now we have seen How to get the Arduino Mega 2560 library for Proteus. Now let's design a simple example in which we will show led blinking with Arduino Mega 256 in Proteus software.
• So, design a simple circuit as shown in below figure:

• Now open the blink example from your Arduino software and get the hex file.
• Upload this hex file in your Proteus software and run the simulation.
• If everything goes fine then you will get something as shown in below figure:

• Quite Simple. isn't it. Now below is given the video demonstration for Arduino Mega 2560 Library for Proteus.

So, that's all for today. Till now we have designed two Arduino boards in Proteus which are Arduino UNO and Arduino Mega 2560. I am planning on designing more Arduino boards and will post them soon.
