Proteus 8.9 Sp2 Professional With Arduino 1.8 Free --install [portable]
Check the box next to . (Checking the box next to "upload" is optional, but compilation is mandatory). Click OK to save your settings. Step 6: Testing Your First Virtual Circuit Simulation
Go to the official Arduino software website and download Arduino IDE 1.8.19 (the last of the 1.8 series). Install it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino .
By default, the Arduino IDE deletes temporary compilation files—including the HEX file—as soon as the compilation finishes. We must modify the IDE preferences to make these files accessible to Proteus. Open the . Navigate to the top menu and select File > Preferences .
