  • No, I am not an Electronics Engineer, just a 54 year old hobbyist/enthusiast
  • Yes, I am using Proteus to learn more about circuit design and electronics
  • No, I do not own a licensed copy of Proteus, I am evaluating it legitimately
  • No, I do not believe in software or intellectual property piracy or theft

    Surely, proteus have support & forums for this?

    Top Tips:

    1. How to properly post source code - see: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment... - also how to properly include images/pictures
    2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
    3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected
    4. Difference between a crystal, and a crystal oscillator: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment...
    5. When your question is resolved, mark the solution: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment...

    Not sure why you would ask that here, as it has nothing to do with Microchip or AVR's, nor a general electronics question.

    You have paid for proteous support, so call labcenter with your questions.

    Shame OP deleted #1 so we'll never know what was asked. But anyway, based on many posts about it here, I used to think that Proteus was a pretty poor simulation as there seemed to be a number of things it did not "get right", yet over time it seemed to be that almost all these so-called problems were user errors and actually it's a pretty good simulation. I'd almost be tempted to buy it but it's just a wee bit too expensive to justify the cost. I cannot help thinking that if they dropped it to something like half the price (so nearer €150) they'd actually sell more than twice as many copies!
