HOW TO USE BUS IN PROTEUS

You're already familiar with Proteus and its usage. It's really interesting to simulate your circuit before hardware implementation because it's just a matter of few clicks here and there before you can see the output. Sometimes there are too many connections in your circuit which kind of looks ugly. This article is about using BUS WIRE in Proteus which saves you some space in the design area and the circuit also looks presentable rather than a mess of connections.

HOW TO USE PROTEUS

The simulators I mentioned in my previous post were strictly for beginners. They just show you the output of the microcontroller so you can learn how everything works. They will accompany you as long as you are dealing with manipulating the data on the ports or registers. Sooner or later, you will be going further and attaching external hardware to the 8051 but that's exactly how we deal with it. So if you're talking about simulating a complete circuit then you actually need PROTEUS for this.

8051 SIMULATORS

Everyone wants to see some practical results after working hard on a project. Same is the case with 8051 microcontroller. You have probably designed something involving the 8051 and written / compiled a program code for it and you are almost ready to put it to test. I know you can't wait but there is still one essential step before jumping on to the implementation phase and it is called simulation.
