Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, I will share a Proteus Library of another embedded module i.e. NodeMCU. NodeMCU is a microcontroller board and if you are new to this board, you should read Introduction to NodeMCU to get your hands dirty. NodeMCU is not present in the components library of Proteus and using this library you can easily simulate NodeMCU in Proteus.
We can't add WiFi and BLE capabilities to our module in the Proteus software, that's why it will just perform the basic functions i.e. sensors interfacing, PWM, I/O control etc. So, you can use it for simple code testing and can also use it to design circuit diagrams of your projects.
So, let's have a look at How to download NodeMCU Proteus Library and simulate it:
Where To Buy? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
No. | Components | Distributor | Link To Buy | |
1 | Battery 12V | Amazon | Buy Now | |
2 | LEDs | Amazon | Buy Now | |
3 | Resistor | Amazon | Buy Now | |
4 | ESP8266 | Amazon | Buy Now |
Note: Look at How to add new Library in Proteus 8, if you don't know already.
So, we have successfully added the NodeMCU module to our Proteus software. Now let's simulate NodeMCU and for that, I am going to use the blink example:
Note: As you can see in the above code, we have selected Arduino UNO in the boards' section. As I have told earlier, this NodeMCU module is only going to use its pins, we can't add WiFi or BLE capabilities in the Proteus software. So, while compiling the code, select Arduino UNO board. Something is better than nothing.
So, that's how you can easily simulate NodeMCU in the Proteus software. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments. I will resolve them as soon as possible. In the next tutorial, we will share the ESP32 Library for Proteus. Till then take care and have fun!!!
