Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share a list of Microcontroller Board Libraries for Proteus . Every embedded project starts with a microcontroller board, and for most students that board is an Arduino. Proteus can simulate the bare ATmega chips, but a bare chip doesn't look like the board on your desk, and it makes your circuit diagram harder to follow. That's why the Arduino Library for Proteus was the very first library our team ever designed, back in 2015. Since then, we have designed four generations of Arduino boards for Proteus, plus libraries for the Raspberry Pi family, the ESP32 and the NodeMCU. The newest one, the Arduino Library for Proteus V4.0 from October 2026, has boards whose LEDs work like the real ones and a serial monitor built into ev ...
Hello friends, I hope you are doing well. This is the third tutorial in our series on how to create a Proteus library. In the previous tutorial, How to Design a New Component in Proteus , we planned our Traffic Light Module on paper: an 800 by 2000 thou black board, three lamps in rings, three resistors, a title, four pin names and four pins, every shape with its exact coordinates. Today, we open Proteus and turn that plan into a real drawing. Our topic is how to draw a component symbol in Proteus with 2D graphics . We will look at the 2D graphics tools of the schematic editor, see how to place a box, a circle and text, how to type exact sizes and positions into the Edit Properties dialogue, how to copy shapes precisely with Block Copy and how Proteus stacks overlapping shapes. Step by ste ...
Hello friends, I hope you are doing well. This is the second tutorial in our series on how to create a Proteus library. In the previous tutorial, How to Create a Proteus Library: How It Works Behind the Scenes , we looked at what a library part is made of: the symbol, the pins, the properties, the package, the index and the simulation model, and at what Proteus does with them when you press Run. Today, we start building our own part, and we start the way every good component starts: on paper, before the first line is drawn. Our topic is how to design a new component in Proteus . Our running example is a Traffic Light Module , a small board with a red, a yellow and a green lamp that an Arduino switches through three pins. In this tutorial, we will decide what the component must do, choose b ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share a list of RFID and NFC Libraries for Proteus . RFID readers are everywhere in engineering projects: attendance systems, door locks, library management, parking gates, cashless canteens and inventory trackers. NFC, its close relative, is what your phone uses to read a tag or pay at a shop. If your project needs to know who is there or what is on the shelf, an RFID or NFC reader is the answer. In a real project, you need the reader, the right cards and a lot of trial and error before your access control code works. Our RFID and NFC libraries give you all of that inside Proteus: each reader comes with four virtual cards on a control panel, and you place a card on the reader with a single click. The Arduino reads the car ...
Hello friends, I hope you are doing well. Today, we are starting a new tutorial series on how to create a Proteus library . Proteus comes with thousands of parts, yet sooner or later every student and engineer needs one that is not there: a new sensor, a wireless module or a board of their own. Over this series, we will design such a part from the very first line of its drawing to a finished library that other people can install. Our running example will be a simple animated component, a Traffic Light Module whose three lamps light up when an Arduino drives its R, Y and G pins. In this first tutorial, we will not draw anything yet. Instead, we will look at the complete mechanism behind a Proteus library, because every later step makes sense only once you know what Proteus stores and why. W ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the new SIM808 Library for Proteus V1.1 . The SIM808 is SIMCom's popular module that puts a GSM / GPRS modem and a GPS receiver on one board, so a single Arduino serial port gives you SMS, calls and your position. That is why it is the favourite of GPS trackers, vehicle trackers and anti-theft projects. With this GSM GPS Library for Proteus , you can build and debug your tracker on your PC, before you buy a SIM card and a 2 A power supply, and before you walk outside for a satellite fix. Version 1.1 replaces the first version of this post. You now get two devices : SIM808 Simple , with the virtual phone and its GPS strip next to the module, and SIM808 Advance , with a pop-up window that holds the phone plus five meas ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the new nRF24L01+PA+LNA Library for Proteus V1.1 . The nRF24L01+PA+LNA is the long-range version of the popular nRF24L01: the same Nordic 2.4 GHz chip, plus a power amplifier , a low-noise amplifier and a rubber-duck antenna on an SMA connector . With this nRF24L01 PA LNA Library for Proteus , two Arduino boards exchange packets with the unmodified RF24 library, and one click moves the radios from 1 m to 2 km apart, so you can see where the link works, where it breaks and why. Version 1.1 replaces the first version of this post. You now get two devices : nRF24L01+PA+LNA Simple , with its control panel on the schematic, and nRF24L01+PA+LNA Advance , with a pop-up window and four measured RF test tools . The board is r ...
The only honest way to design a monitoring system for a hazardous site is to assume that part of it is already broken. Not "might break someday." Broken now, quietly, while the dashboard glows green. Every sensor drifts, every cable corrodes, every radio link drops packets, and every controller eventually hangs. The engineering question was never whether components fail. The question is whether the rest of the system notices, says so loudly, and keeps watching while you fix it. A system that cannot answer that question is barely a monitoring system at all; it is closer to a decoration with a power supply. The stakes are not abstract. Over nearly three decades, U.S. chemical safety investigators have examined close to 180 major chemical incidents that together produced more than 200 fatalit ...
If you build or maintain remote-access systems, IoT fleets, or monitoring pipelines, you have probably run into a wall that consumer proxy guides never mention: rotating addresses break authentication, whitelisting, and session state. This article explains what a static IP actually is at the protocol level, why certain engineering projects require a fixed, dedicated address instead of a rotating pool, and how a static IP proxy server differs from a standard datacenter proxy . You will leave with enough technical grounding to specify the right proxy type for your next deployment. Figure: The supplied diagram illustrates network traffic passing between a user, a proxy server and the internet. What Is a Static IP Address at the Protocol Level? An IP address identifies a device on a network so ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the new BME280 Sensor Library for Proteus V1.1 . The BME280 is Bosch's small environmental sensor: one chip measures the temperature , the humidity and the air pressure , and the purple GY-BME280 board has made it a favourite for Arduino weather stations. With this BME280 Sensor Library for Proteus , you set the weather with sliders or one-click presets, and your Arduino reads it over I2C (or SPI) with the same Adafruit BME280 library you use on real hardware. Version 1.1 replaces the first version of this post. You now get two devices : BME280 Simple , with a weather panel on the schematic, and BME280 Advance , with a pop-up weather station and four measured sensor test tools . The model now follows the data sheet's ...
