Simulate program in proteus

In this post, we will cover how to simulate program files in proteus.

Proteus is a simuation software used for simulating analog/ digital circuits as well as for simulating embedded based projects. It can used for simulating 555 based, transistor based circuits. It's a very good tool for hobbyists, students and professionalists. This is not a freeware however one can download the trial version from the official website or simply purchase it.

Step 1: First of all, choose the components from the library by simply right clicking on grid area.
