ESP32 Library for Proteus
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing well. In today's tutorial, I am going to share a new Proteus Library of ESP32 embedded module. ESP32 is a microcontroller board used mostly in IoT projects. It's a successor of ESP8266 or NodeMCU. We have already shared the NodeMCU Library for Proteus and I hope you guys have enjoyed it.
Proteus software is not capable of handling WiFi or BLE technology, thus we can't implement these technologies in the ESP32 board. Though, you can use its input/output pins to interface embedded sensors and modules. You can also use it to design the Circuit Diagram of your Project.
So, let's have a look at How to simulate ESP32 board in Proteus:

NodeMCU Library for Proteus
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:

Current Sensor Library for Proteus
Hi Friends! Hope you’re well today. Today, I am going to share the Proteus Library of Current Sensor WCS1600. This sensor is not available in the Proteus Components Library and we’re sharing it for the first time.
The Current Sensor WCS1600 is used to measure the current flowing through the circuit and is used in embedded systems and robotics projects. If you are new to this sensor, you must first design its simulation before playing with the hardware.
Before we move further, let’s have a brief overview of WCS1600 Current Sensor:
| Where To Buy? |
|---|
| No. | Components | Distributor | Link To Buy |
| 1 | LEDs | Amazon | Buy Now |
| 2 | Resistor | Amazon | Buy Now |
| 3 | ACS712 | Amazon | Buy Now |
What is WCS1600 Current Sensor?
WCS1600 comes with a drift linear hall sensor IC which gives precise and accurate values. The hall sensor IC is 9.0 mm in diameter through the hole and is incorporated with a temperature compensation circuit. To measure the passing current, the electric wire of the system should pass through the hole of this sensor.
Using this design, the system designers can monitor the current path of any length without affecting the layout of the original system. The integrated hall IC senses the magnetic field generated when current flows through the wire. That magnetic field is then converted into a proportional voltage.
Features:
- Product: WCS1600 current sensor.
- Sensitivity: 22mV/A
- Low operating current: 3mA
- Supply Current: 3.5 ~ 6mA
- Zero Current Vout: 2.5V
- Bandwidth: 23kHz
- Isolation voltage: 4000V
- Supply Voltage: 3 ~ 12V
- Operating Temp: -20 ~ 125°C
- Conductor Through Hole: 9.2mm
- Temperature Drift: +/-0.3 mV/C
- Output voltage proportional to AC and DC
- Wide sensing current range 0~100A at 5V volt
- For easy soldering on PCB, two bronze sticks are used
- Ratiometric output from the supply voltage
WCS1600 Current Sensor Library for Proteus
- First, download the Proteus Library zip file for WCS1600 Current Sensor by clicking the link below:
WCS1600 Current Sensor Library for Proteus
Adding Library Files
- After downloading this zip file, extract it and you’ll find the folder "Proteus Library Files".
- In this folder, 3 Proteus Library files are available, named:
- WCS1600TEP.HEX
- WCS1600TEP.IDX
- WCS1600TEP.LIB
- Copy these files and paste them into the Library Folder of Proteus Software, as shown in the below figure:
- After adding these files to the Library folder, open the Proteus Software, and if you’re already working on it, you need to restart it.
Note: You should read How to Add Library in Proteus 8, if you are having any issues finding the Library Folder.
Current Sensor in Proteus
In the components section, write ‘WCS1600 Current Sensor’ in the search bar and you’ll get the following result:
Now place this sensor in the Proteus workspace, as shown in the below figure:
You can see in the above figure, this current sensor carries 4 pins as follow:
- Vcc: 5V is provided to this pin.
- GND: This pin is grounded.
- D0: This is the output pin and it goes HIGH when current passes through the hole and will remain LOW when there is no current.
- A0: This pin will give the analog output.
- TestPin: As we can't use a current wire in Proteus, so we placed this test pin to indicate current. When this pin is HIGH, means the current is passing through the IC and if it's LOW, means no current.
Adding Hex File
Now double-click the sensor to open up its Properties Panel, as shown in the below figure:
Go to the ‘Program File’ section and browse for the file WCS1600TEP.HEX which you have already downloaded and placed in the Library Folder of Proteus.
Simulate Current Sensor
- Now we’ll design a simple circuit to use this WCS1600 Current Sensor in Proteus.
- The following figure shows the WCS1600 Current Sensor Simulation in Proteus.
- As you can see in the above figure, I have placed an LC circuit at the analog pin, that's only for the simulation to get the analog value. It won't be used in real hardware.
- Now run Proteus Simulation. You’ll get the result as shown below.
That’s all for today. Hope you’ve found this Library for Proteus useful. If you’re unsure or have any queries regarding the simulation of this sensor and how to use it in your engineering projects, you are welcome to get in touch with me in the section below. I’ll help you the best way I can. Thank you for reading this tutorial.
pH Sensor Library for Proteus
Hi guys, I hope you are good and doing well in your life. In this article, I am going to tell you about a new pH Sensor Library for Proteus. I hope you all will enjoy it and find it useful. We are all well aware of pH Sensors which are used for the detection of pH of different fluids. By knowing the pH of a liquid we can tell whether the liquid is acidic or basic. You can’t find a pH sensor in Proteus software, so we designed a pH sensor for simulation purposes. You can interface this pH Sensor with any Microcontroller, for example: Arduino, PIC Microcontroller, 8051 Microcontroller etc.
In this pH Sensor Library, I have added four different pH Sensors, which are used for the detection of the pH of any fluid. Since we can’t place real liquid and measure pH in this software, I have attached a test pin in the pH meter where you have to connect a potentiometer. The potentiometer will produce a reading from 0 to 1023, which will be mapped from 0 to 14 in the program code. We can predict the nature of the liquid. We will have a look at how to use these sensors below. So, here’s the list of all four pH sensors, I have added to this pH sensor library:
- PH METER
- PH METER 2
- PH METER 3
- PH METER 4
So, let’s start with downloading and installing the pH Sensor Library for Proteus.

What is a pH Sensor?
- A pH sensor is a device that is used to measure the pH value of a liquid. pH can be defined as the concentration of H+ ions in a liquid. We can find whether the fluid is acidic, basic or neutral by knowing the pH of the liquid.
- Real pH sensors are shown below:
pH sensor Library for Proteus
- First, download the zip file of Proteus Library for pH Sensor.
- Click the link below to download the library zip file of pH Meter:
pH Sensor Library for Proteus
- After downloading the zip file, extract its files and open the folder named “Proteus Library Files“.
- In this folder, you will find three files, named:
- pHMeterLibraryTEP.IDX
- pHMeterLibraryTEP.LIB
- pHMeterLibraryTEP.HEX
- We have to place these files in the ‘LIBRARY’ folder of Proteus software.
- Now, open Proteus. if you are already working on it you have to restart it.
- In the components search box, search for “PH METER” and you will get four results, as shown in the below figure:
- Let’s place these four pH Meter models in our Proteus workspace:
Adding Hex File to the Sensor
- Now we need to paste the hex file of the pH METER in the properties section of the sensor. Double click on the sensor to open the properties window.
- Go to the program file section, browse to the hex file, which we have downloaded above and placed it in the ‘LIBRARY’ folder of Proteus software:
- After adding the hex file, click the Ok button.
- Now all is ready, let’s create a circuit to check it's working.
pH Sensor Proteus Simulation
- The pH sensor is now ready to simulate in Proteus, so let’s design a simple circuit to understand its working:
- As you can see, I have placed an LC filter on the analog output of the pH sensor, it's because proteus gives us a peak to peak voltage value and we need to convert it to Vrms.
- While performing the real experiment, you don’t need to do the above stuff.
- Now, let’s run the Proteus simulation. You will see such a screen if everything will work fine.
Interfacing of pH sensor with Arduino UNO
- Add Arduino UNO and pH sensor to the components list and place them in the workspace.
- Placed an LC filter on the analog output of the pH sensor, as mentioned above.
- Connect it to the A0 pin of Arduino. Add a virtual terminal also to see the readings generated.
- Paste the hex file of the program at the program file section of the Arduino.
- Now run the simulation, if everything's fine you will get results as shown in the below figure:
- You can watch the complete working simulation in the below video:
So, that was all for today. I hope you have enjoyed today's lecture. Thanks for reading !!!

Solar Panel Library for Proteus V2.0
Hello friends, I hope you all are well. Today, we are going to share the second version of the Solar Panel Library for Proteus. You should also have a look at the first version of the Solar Panel Library, which we have posted around 2 years back and we were receiving suggestions to reduce its size as there's less space left for other components.
That's why we have designed this new Solar Panel Library and have reduced the size of the solar panel. We have also added a new black solar panel component to it. So, this library contains 2 solar Panel modules in it. First, let's have a look at a brief introduction to Solar Panel and then will download the Proteus Library zip file.
What is Solar Panel?
- Solar Panels are designed using solar cells composed of semiconductor materials(i.e. silicon, phosphorous etc.) and convert solar energy into electrical energy.
- Solar Panels are used to generate renewable energy and are considered as one of the major sources.
- Real Solar Panel modules are shown in the below figure:
Solar Panel Library for Proteus V2.0
- First, we need to download the zip file of Proteus Library by clicking the below button:
Download Proteus Library zip file
- In this zip file, you need to open the folder named Proteus Library Files.
- In this folder, you will find 2 Proteus Library files named:
- SolarPanel2TEP.IDX
- SolarPanel2TEP.LIB
- Copy-paste these files in the Library folder of Proteus software.
Note:
- After adding the files in Proteus software, open it and if you are already working on it, then you need to restart it.
- In the components section, make a search for solar panel and you will get results as shown in the below figure:
- In the above figure, the first result is from version 1.0, and the remaining two are added by this new solar library.
- Let's place these sensors in the Proteus workspace, as shown in the below figure:
- This Solar Library has thee two solar panels in it, one is blue and the second one is black.
- Both are of 12V but their voltage level can be changed from the Properties panel.
- In order to open the Properties panel, double click on the solar panel and you can change the value of Voltage here, as shown in the below figure:
- Click Ok to close the properties panel.
Now let's design a simple Proteus simulation of Solar Panel in Proteus:
Proteus Simulation of Solar Panel
- I have changed the voltage level of black solar from the properties panel & simply placed a voltmeter in front of these solar panels, as shown in the below figure:
- Now let's run the Proteus simulation of solar panel:
- As you can see in the above figure, the output of black solar is around 16V, while blue solar is giving 12V.
- That's how you can test it for variable voltage i.e. day time, night time etc.
So, that was all for today. I hope this library will help you guys in your engineering projects. If you have any issues/queries, use the below comment form. Thanks for reading. Have a good day. :)
Vibration Sensor Library for Proteus V2.0
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, I am going to share a new Vibration Sensor Library for Proteus V2.0. It's the second version of the Vibration Sensor Library for Proteus. In this library, we have four vibration sensors.
These vibrations sensors have both digital and analog output pins and can easily be connected with microcontrollers i.e. Arduino, PIC, Atmel etc. Before downloading the Proteus Library zip file, let's first have a look at the brief overview of Vibration Sensor:

What is Vibration Sensor?
- A vibration sensor is a small embedded sensor, which is used to detect vibrations on any surface.
- These vibration sensors are used for various purposes i.e. fault detection on heavy machinery, placed on doors & windows for security etc.
- Real vibration sensors are shown in the below figure:
Vibration Sensor Library for Proteus V2.0
- First of all, download the zip file of Proteus Library for Vibration Sensor, by clicking the below button:
Download Proteus Library Files
- After downloading the zip file, extract its files and open the folder named "Proteus Library Files".
- In this folder, you will find 3 Proteus Library Files named:
- VibrationSensor2TEP.IDX
- VibrationSensor2TEP.LIB
- VibrationSensor2TEP.HEX
- We need to place these files in the Library folder of Proteus software.
Note:
- After adding these library files, open your Proteus software or restart it, if it's already running.
- In the components section, make a search for Vibration, and you will get results, as shown in the below figure:
- In the above search result, the first four modules are from V2.0, while the fifth one is of the first version.
- Let's place these first four modules in the Proteus workspace, as shown in the below figure:
Adding Hex File to the Sensor
- Next, we need to add the hex file of the sensor, so double click on the sensor to open its Properties Panel.
- In the Program File section, browse to the hex file, which we have downloaded above and placed it in the Library folder of Proteus software:
- After adding the hex file, click the Ok button to close the properties panel.
The vibration sensor is now ready to simulate in Proteus, so let's design a simple circuit to understand its working:
Vibration Sensor Proteus Simulation
- I have simulated two of these vibration sensors, as shown in the below figure:
- As you can see, I have placed an LC filter on the analog output of the vibration sensor, its because proteus gives us a peak to peak voltage value and we need t convert it to Vrms.
- This LC filter is not required in real hardware.
- Now, let's run the Proteus simulation and if everything's fine, you will get results as shown in the below figure:
- As the potentiometer value is different on both sensors, that's why we are getting different outputs.
So, that was all for today. I hope this sensor will help engineering students in their projects' simulations. Thanks for reading. Have a good day. Bye !!! :)
CR2032 Lithium Coin Library for Proteus
Hello friends, I hope you all are well. In today's tutorial, I am going to share a new
CR2032 Lithium Coin Library for Proteus. This small cell is extensively used in electronics whereabouts because of its small size. CR2032 is not present in the Proteus components' database and we are quite pleased that we are sharing it for the first time.
This library contains 3 types of these small cells, one is the cell itself, while the other two models are cells with leads. Before downloading the Proteus Library zip file, let's first have a brief overview of CR2032:
What is CR2032???
- CR2032(also called Lithium Coin) is a small round Lithium Manganese Dioxide battery, normally provides 3V.
- As CR2032 is very small in size, thus used in small electronics devices & whereabouts i.e. watches, bracelets, calculators, hand-held video games etc.
- CR2032 is a small cell, so a black or yellow casing is used to operate it.
- Here are few images of real CR2032 with casing:
CR2032 Library for Proteus
- First of all, download the zip file of Proteus library for CR2032, by clicking the below button:
Download Proteus Library Files
- Open the zip file of Proteus Library and extract the files.
- Open the folder named Proteus Library Files and you will find 2 files in it, named:
- CR2032LibraryTEP.IDX
- CR2032LibraryTEP.LIB
- Copy these files and paste them into the Library folder of Proteus software.
Note:
- Now, open Proteus ISIS and in the components section, search for CR2032 and you will get results, as shown in the below figure:
- Let's place these three components in the Proteus workspace, as shown in the below figure:
- As you can see in the above figure, the first one is the cell CR2032 itself, and in the second and third, we have tried to create a Cell with leads & casing.
Now, let's simulate them in proteus to have a look at their output:
CR2032 Proteus Simulation
- Here's the Proteus simulation of CR2032, where I have simply placed a voltmeter in front of these coins, as shown in the below figure:
- Now simply run the Proteus simulation, and you will get results as shown below:
- They all are providing 3V as shown on the voltmeters but you can change the voltage level from their properties panel.
So, that was all for today. I hope this Lithium coin will help you in your proteus simulations. Thanks for reading. Take care. Bye !!!
