We shall assume at this point that you have installed the proteus 8 software package.

#Tutorial de proteus 8 professional

To start the software, click on the start button and select programs, proteus 8 professional and then the proteus 8 application. the main application will then load and run and you will be presented with the proteus home page. If you have a demonstration copy of the software you can start the proteus application via the proteus 8 demonstration tab from the start menu. In order to create a schematic we must first create a project. since this tutorial is partnered with the pcb tutorial we will create a project for schematic/pcb. New project for vsm simulation (vsm tutorial). Start by pressing the new project button near the top of the home page in proteus. On the first page of the wizard specify a name and path for the project. We need a schematic so check the box at the top of the next step and then choose the default template. Similarly, we need a layout so check the box at the top of the layout page and again choose the default template. We are not simulating the design so leave the firmware page blank and continue on to the summary which should look like the following:Ĭlick on the finish button to create the projectĪ schematic template can contain sheet size, colour scheme, company logo, header block and various other aesthetic presets. further information can be found in the templates chapter of the reference manual.Ī pcb template can contain board edge, mounting holes, design rules, layer stack and various other technology information. refer to the templates chapter in the pcb documentation for more information. The project will open with two tabs, one schematic capture and the other for pcb layout. click on the schematic tab to bring the isis module to the foreground.

The largest area of the screen is called the editing window, and it acts as a window on the drawing - this is where you will place and wire-up components. the smaller area at the top left of the screen is called the overview window. in normal use the overview window displays, as its name suggests, an overview of the entire drawing - the blue box shows the edge of the current sheet and the green box the area of the sheet currently displayed in the editing window. However, when a new object is selected from the object selector the overview window is used to preview the selected object - this is discussed later.

If you don’t like the default layout of the toolbars you can pick them up and dock them on any of the four sides of the application. similarly you can move the object selector & overview window pane across to the right hand side of the application by dragging the end of it all the way across to the other side. Toolbars and menu options will switch according to which tab is active (at the front). throughout this tutorial when we refer to an icon or a menu command we are assuming that the schematic tab is active. Right clicking the mouse either in the object selector or in the overview window will provide a context menu, including the option to ‘auto hide’ the left hand pane. In the setup, the LCD is initiated with lcd.init() and the backlight is turned on with lcd.backlight().This is extremely useful if you want to maximise the editing area of the application. Connect to LCD via I2C, default address 0x27 (A0-A2 not jumpered) You will need to change ‘lcd’ to the new name in the rest of the sketch. You can give it a different name if you want like ‘menu_display’. Note that we have called the display ‘lcd’. When using a 20×4 LCD, change this line to LiquidCrystal_I2C(0x27,20,4) This is where you will need to change the default address to the address you found earlier if it happens to be different. The next step is to create an LCD object with the LiquidCrystal_I2C class and specify the address and dimensions.įor this, we use the function LiquidCrystal_I2C(address, columns, rows). #include // Library for I2C communication The other library imports wire.h automatically. *When using the latest version of the LiquidCrystal_I2C library it is no longer needed to include the wire.h library in your sketch.

In the rest of this tutorial, I will cover more of the built-in functions of this library. As mentioned earlier we need both the wire.h* and the LiquidCrystal_I2C library. First, the required libraries are included.
