TITTLE : INTRODUCTION TO PROTEUS SIMULATION

OUTCOMES : Upon completion the task, students should be able to:
i) Construct circuit in Proteus simulation software
ii) Build Arduino sketch to controlling LED, buzzer/sounder and Ultrasonic
sensor

EQUIPMENTS / COMPONENTS:
Laptop/PC

THEORY :

1.0 Introduction To Proteus.

Proteus is used to simulate, design and drawing of electronic circuits. It was invented by the
Labcenter electronic. With the use of this engineering software, we can construct and simulate
different electrical and electronic circuits on personal computers or laptops.

Designing of circuits on the proteus takes less time than practical construction of the circuit.
The possibility of error is less in software simulation such as loose connection that takes a lot of time
to find out connections problems in a practical circuit. Furthermore, there is zero possibility of burning
and damaging of any electronic component in proteus.

There are 2 main parts of proteus first is used to design and draw different circuits and the
second is for designing of PCB layout. First is ISIS that used to design and simulate circuits. And second
is ARES that used for designing of a printed circuit board.

2.0 Introduction To Arduino.

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of
both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece
of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write
and upload computer code to the physical board.

Arduino board contains 14 digital input/output pins and 6 analog pins, USB and power jack.
5V pin supply 5V voltage from the on board regulator, while 3.3V pin supply 3.3 V voltage from on
board regulator. At the same time time maximum current is 50mA.

 Figure 1 : Arduino board pinout

Digital pins of the board can be used as inputs or outputs, and use three functions:
pinMode(), digitalWrite(), digitalRead() and analogWrite () function, the last one works with the pins
that marked ~PWM symbol.

These pins operate with 5V voltage, maximum 40mA current and contains 20-50kOhm
internal resistors. Some pins however has specified functions:

GPIO 0 : Receive serial data.

GPIO 1 : Transmit serial data.
GPIO 2 and GPIO 3 : External interrupts.
GPIO 3, GPIO 5, GPIO 6, GPIO 9, GPIO 10, GPIO 11 : Provide 8-bit PWM output
with analogWrite() function.
GPIO 10, GPIO 11, GPIO 12, GPIO 13 : Provide SPI communication.
GPIO 13 : Connected to LED, indicating HIGH or LOW value.
GPIO 19, GPIO 18, GPIO 17, GPIO 16, GPIO 15, GPIO 14 : Analog inputs.
GPIO 19 and GPIO 18 : Provide TWI functionality .
AREF : Reference voltage for analog inputs.
Reset pin : Resets the microcontroller.
