Arduino simulation software

                          Arduino simulation

If you are searching for ways to learn Arduino and related programs without having one actual Arduino board then you have come to the right place.

  I have come across many Arduino simulation software but SimulIDE tops the list. With this software not only we can simulate Arduino but other types of development boards like pic and avr microcontrollers. We can also simulate meters like oscilloscope, voltmeter, ammeter, probes etc. Apart from that sources, switches, passive elements, active elements, outputs like led, servo motors, 7segment, stepper, audio out, logic can be simulated. 

This is the best way to learn Arduino, You don't need an Arduino board, sensor, servo motors etc. You just need to install SimulIDE app on your desktop. You can drag the elements you need and can connect elements. And you can program Arduino by right-clicking and selecting load firmware on Arduino that has been dragged to the workspace in  SimulIDE app.

To know how to upload program in Arduino in simulide you can refer to this video.

if you are facing trouble in uploading code to Arduino in simulide:-

As simulIDE understand the standard .hex and .elf file Arduino program is converted to these types using Arduino IDE app.

1. In the Arduino IDE select Sketch > Export Compiled Binary. This performs a compile. Once complete, this command places a copy of the compiled file into the directory of your sketch.
   
2. Then either browse to the sketch folder or in the IDE select Sketch > Show Sketch Folder.
   

This generates two hex files for the target micro-controller; one with the bootloader and one without the bootloader. These hex files can be uploaded to the microcontroller using a programmer such as the Atmel Ice or AVRISPmkII.
Here some of the screenshots of simple program.
