Arduino Proteus8 turorial

simulation of arduino controlling relay.. step 1: when you double click on the Proteus8 icon the window open like this



step 2: go to FILE and click on NEW PROJECT a new project wizard is open like this select a name and path for it and click next step 3: create the default schematic click on the create schematic from the selected template and choose DEFAULT and select option for no pcb layout and and no firmware as shown in figures below and click finish after clicking finish we get a empty schematic like this I assume that you installed Arduino Proteus library -- if not google it you can find many tutorials of how to do it. at the left panel we have some control tools to add components to the schematic In above picture the highlighted one having names P L DEVICES when we click on P we have option to pick components IF you type Arduino in search bar you get the window like this select arduino UNO and click ok to add it to the devices for this we are gonna need following components 1.ULN2003 IC - relay driver 2.relay 3.dc source 4.ac source 5.lamp ULN2003 IC-- we can get this using search bar and relay,lamp and ac source using keywords relay,lamp and alternator respectively but for dc source it took me some time to figure out what to do... we can get dc source from generator mode by clicking the symbol and selecting DC and after aligning all these in the schematic get to this. to dump the code follow this procedure Using Arduino IDE type the following code void setup() { pinMode(13,OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(13,HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13,LOW); delay(1000); } before verifying the code goto File -- Preferences in Arduino file menu select compilation as shown in fig and press the verify button copy the highlighted section and paste it in the above window comes by double clicking the arduino uno.. and run the simulation we can see the lamp is ON and OFF sequentially.
