Here it is illustrated how to make a simple LED blink Arduino program with Proteus Visual Designer. This
is thus a Hello World tutorial with Proteus Visual Designer.
Proteus Visual Designer is a flowchart based program writing software for Arduino boards, Raspberry
Pi, ESP8266 useful for arduino robot projects, arduino iot projects, ESP8266 IoT projects and other kinds
of industrial iot applications. With proteus visual designer one can create front panel with knobs, butto
slider graph etc for making controller for robotics application, for monitoring IoT devices and sensor
data and others. Thus it can be used building program for robotics hardware, electronics circuits and
thus it can be used as IoT development platform.
The steps of building program with Proteus Visual Designer are described next.
We can start visual designer with either New Project or New Flowchart from the proteus program. Here
we will use the New Flowchart option as shown below.
Provide some project name and save in some directory as shown below.

In the next step select Arduino in the Family field, Arduino Uno in the Controller field and Visual Design
for Arduino AVR in the Compiler option.
Clicking Next, the schematic editor and flowchart editor window will open with default Arduino
hardware on the schematic and basic flow chart having setup and loop functions.
These are shown below.

Since the default Arduino that is placed after the project creation in the schematic editor does not loo
like actual Arduino, another Arduino from the library is placed on the schematic as shown below.
Then a LED and current limiting resistor of 220Ohm are also placed and connected to pin 5 of Arduino
MCU microcontroller.

On the Visual designer tab, from the cpu node the pinMode block is dragged and placed in the
flowchart setup flow.
We can edit the pinMode properties by double clicking the block as shown below. In the properties
window we assign pin number 5 and set the mode as output.

Similarly we drag the digitalWrite block and place in the loop flow as shown below.
We edit the block property by double clicking on it. We write 5 in the Pin field and true in the state field
as shown below.

We then add a delay block and place it after the digitalWrite block. The default delay in the block is
100ms which is ok for this tutorial.
We copy the digitalWrite block above and place it after the delay.

We also copy the 100ms delay block and place after the 2nd digitalWrite block as shown below.

On the schematic editor we can run the simulation and we will see that the LED turns on and off with
100ms delay.

The following video shows all the process from starting visual designer project, open visual designer in
proteus, creating flowchart for LED blink, buidling and simulating the LED blink with Arduino MCU
microcontroller.

Although this is a simple Hello World LED blinking flowchart program with Arduino MCU microcontroller
it teaches how to start with visual designer. Once this simple process is understood, more complex
arduino programs, arduino iot projects,ESP8266 IoT projects and industrial iot applications can be buil
Proteus visual designer is very easy to use and program can be easily written without writing codes. It
excellent IoT development platform that can be used to build various industrial iot solutions.
Next see how to create IoT project from source code in Proteus.
