Hex file is needed for simulation and when you use separate programmer to program your microcontroller. In this tutorial we will see how to get hex file in Arduino IDE?
Step 1: Open your arduino Software.
Step 2: Open any example code or write your own code. Continue reading How to get Hex file in Arduino ?
Proteus is simulation and PCB designing software. Many times we need to simulate different circuits before we actually develop it, This tutorial shows how to add library in Proteus 7 and Proteus 8.
Step 1: Download Proteus library zip file example ARDUINO Proteus library
Step 2: Unzip library folder. You will see two files names as *.IDX and *.LIB in some cases third file is *.HEX.
In our example it is ARDUINO.IDX and ARDUINO.LIB
Step 3: Copy and paste these files in LIBRARY folder of Proteus
If you are using Proteus 7 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 7 Professional\LIBRARY“
If you are using Proteus 8 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: “C:\Program Files\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\Data\LIBRARY”
Step 4: Close Proteus Software and reopen it to check it. That’s all.
You can find that adding library to Proteus, Arduino, Eagle is same just copy and paste the library files at proper location.
Libraries are files written in C or C++ (.c, .cpp) which provide your sketches with extra functionality (e.g. the ability to control an LED matrix, or read an encoder, GSM, GPS, NRF24L01 etc.). Arduino software is kept flexible users can create there own library or add libraries for new devices.
Step 1: Download your library zip file example Keypad.
Step 2: Unzip your library file. You will find files “Keypad.cpp”, “Keypad.h” and folder “examples” in a library name folder in our case Keypad. These three are essential parts of any library.
Note that library folder name should not start with numbers and space is not allowed in library folder name.
Step 3: Find your Arduino Installation Location. By right clicking on arduino shortcut icon. Click on Properties.
Step 4: You will see this screen and Click on Find Target
Step 5: Locate “libraries” folder and open it
Step 6: Copy and paste your library in this folder in our example it is “Keypad”
Check that you have these files in example library “Keypad” folder
Step 7: Close Arduino IDE and reopen it to see the added library in Examples>>Keypad
Step 8: To use library you need to add it in your code using include command.
Example:
#include <Keypad.h>

HC-05 embedded Bluetooth serial communication module has two work modes: order-response work mode and automatic connection work mode . And there are three work roles (Master, Slave and Loopback) at the automatic connection work mode. When the module is at the automatic connection work mode, it will follow the default way set lastly to transmit the data automatically. When the module is at the order-response work mode, user can send the AT command to the module to set the control parameters and sent control order. The work mode of module can be switched by controlling the module PIN (PIO11) input level. Continue reading Bluetooth Module Serial Communication AT command set
In this tutorial we will learn how to interface GSM Modem and send SMS. GSM Modems are easy long range interface where we need to read sensor data or control electrical equipment. We will start with selection of GSM modem, AT commands and connection of GSM Module with Arduino. A GSM modem is a specialized type of modem or phone hardware on small PCB which accepts a SIM card, and operates over a subscription to a mobile operator, just like a mobile phone.
