How to use PROTEUS software to begin your first 8051 project ?

Steps:

1) Click on Proetus icon on Desktop(Usually created after you install software).

2) Proteus window will open showing number of Tabs as shown below.

3) On Start Tab create new project.(See highlighted tab)

4) New Project Window will appear, type a name of project as desire( i had assumed project name as "tutorial").

5) Click next, now it will ask whether you want to create schematic , so click on "Create a schematic from selected template " and select  " Default " then click next.

6) when you click next it will ask whether you want to create PCB LAYOUT. Select "Create PCB layout from selected template "  choose "Default" and then click next.

7) Next it will ask whether you want to create firmware project ( basically a program code file) .Select 

" No FIrmware Project" as we will use Keil uvision( See Keil Uvision Tutorial )  then click next.

8) It will show summary of configuration you had selected. Tick indicates you had selected to such operation in proetus (e.g we had selected Schematic and PCB layout so at summary it is showing two ticks). click Finish

9)  Now you will see two tab (default tab pop up after clicking finish is PCB layout Black area ). switch between the tab as needed. Generally you will first draw schematic then simulate and if its working perfect then you will create PCB layout. So first select "Schematic Capture"
