I have been using Arduino for nine years now.
I have always wanted to find a low-cost (mainly time-saving) solution.
Recently, I tried using Proteus simulation (I recommend version 8.0 and above, download link below) + Arduino. It is really simple and easy to use, highly recommended for everyone.
Proteus download link (link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1GPb5Kap4Iz35YP_gwRwc4g password: nijw), you can also download it from the official website, but this version works, you know what I mean.
Usage process:
-
Installation
-
Open Proteus, as shown in the figure below:
3. Choose to create a new project: give the new project a name and set the storage location. Important, select “From Development Board”, and you will see the Arduino development board you need.
4. After selecting, click Finish. Your Arduino is set up.
5. Open Arduino IDE and write a Blink program, which is familiar to everyone, like this.
6. Compile.
7. A crucial step: Export the compiled binary file, choose a location to save it, and remember this location.
8. Go back to Proteus, double-click the chip, and a dialog box will appear. Click the red location to select the binary file saved in the previous step.
9. After selecting, click “OK” to confirm. You will return to the interface shown below. Pay attention to the button indicated in the lower left corner, and you can start the simulation. Give it a try.
If you are interested, please pay attention to this public account, as we will start a series of experiments based on Proteus and Arduino.
Many friends have privately asked where to buy hardware. Now you don’t have to worry about these, just do the experiments first.
Let’s get the experiments started.
Importantly: The Proteus library has various chips, so just start playing.
