Overview
Today, Proteus 8 professionals can host a variety of sensors and other components that are not in the Proteus database. In order to simulate these sensors or components, you have to install them or add them to the Proteus library. Below is a video that will take you through a step-by-step process on how to add these libraries into Proteus 8.12 professional. We also have the written step-by-step adding and a download link.
The folder contains various components and sensors:
Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, etc.
The Arduino hardware and software were designed for anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can interact with buttons, LEDs, motors, speakers, GPS units, cameras, the internet, and even your smartphone or your TV.
GPS module
GPS modules contain tiny processors and antennas that directly receive data sent by satellites through dedicated RF frequencies.
Bluetooth HC05 and HC06
Both the modules are the same in functionality except the pinout. Also, HC05 can act as both master and slave whereas HC06 functions only as a slave.
XBee
“ZIGBEE” stands for a Zonal Intercommunication Global standard, where Battery life is long, is Economical to deploy, and which exhibits Efficient use of resources.
Ultrasonic Sensors
An ultrasonic sensor is an instrument that measures the distance to an object using ultrasonic sound waves.
Flame sensor
A flame sensor is one kind of detector which is mainly designed for detecting as well as responding to the occurrence of a fire or flame. The flame detection response can depend on its fitting. It includes an alarm system, a natural gas line, propane & a fire suppression system.
Gas Sensor
Gas sensors (gas detectors) are electronic devices that detect and identify different types of gasses. They are commonly used to detect toxic or explosive gasses and measure gas concentration
Flex sensor
The Flex Sensor achieves great form-factor as a variable printed resistor on a thin flexible substrate. When the substrate is bent, the sensor produces a resistance output correlated to the bend radius—the smaller the radius, the higher the resistance value
Vibration Sensor
A vibration sensor is a device that measures the amount and frequency of vibration in a given system, machine, or piece of equipment. Those measurements can be used to detect imbalances or other issues in the asset and predict future breakdowns.
Node MCU
NodeMCU is an open-source firmware for which open-source prototyping board designs are available. The name "NodeMCU" combines "node" and "MCU" (micro-controller unit). The term "NodeMCU" strictly speaking refers to the firmware rather than the associated development kits.
PIR sensor
Passive infrared (PIR) sensors use a pair of pyroelectric sensors to detect heat energy in the surrounding environment. These two sensors sit beside each other, and when the signal differential between the two sensors changes (if a person enters the room, for example), the sensor will engage.
