: Always restart Proteus after adding new components so the "Pick Device" list updates. Step 2: Circuit Interfacing (The Wiring)
After compiling in Arduino IDE, go to . In Proteus, double-click the Arduino UNO, browse to the .HEX file in the Program File field. Run the simulation. As soon as you click "Play," the virtual RC522 will read the pre-configured UID and display it in the virtual serial terminal.
C:\ProgramData\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY rc522 proteus library updated
Copy the extracted .IDX and .LIB files and paste them directly into the LIBRARY folder. If prompted, overwrite any existing older versions of the RC522 files. Step 4: Restart Proteus
If you see gibberish text or nothing at all in your Proteus Virtual Terminal window, right-click the terminal component during design mode. Verify that its operating baud rate matches the value declared in your code (e.g., 9600 ). : Always restart Proteus after adding new components
SPI simulations can be CPU-intensive. Try reducing the "Animation Sampling Rate" in System Settings.
Copy and paste the .LIB and .IDX files into this folder. Run the simulation
Note: If you cannot find the ProgramData folder, enable "Hidden items" in your Windows File Explorer view settings. Step 3: Restart Proteus
