What are you trying to build? (e.g., an Arduino project, an audio amplifier, a power supply)
Ensure you have installed Proteus 8.5 or higher for the best experience. Once installed, open the software, and you will see the . 3. Creating a New Project To start a project: Click on the "New Project" button on the home page.
Click the tab. You can rotate, zoom, and inspect your board from all angles. This helps ensure that mechanical components (like connectors and switches) do not overlap and are facing the correct direction. Exporting Gerber Files To manufacture your board, you must generate Gerber files:
Use Auto-Save settings, but manually save variations of your project before testing major layout alterations.
| Instrument | Use | |------------|-----| | | Measure static voltages/currents. | | Oscilloscope | Observe waveforms (clock, PWM, analog signals). | | Logic Analyzer | Capture digital timing diagrams. | | SPI/I2C Debugger | Monitor serial communication. | | Virtual Terminal | RS232 UART Tx/Rx display. |
Click on a component pad and follow the green guide wire to the destination pad, clicking to place corners. Proteus features an integrated that prevents you from accidentally crossing wires and causing short circuits. Using the Automatic Router
