Nano 3 / Proteus

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Respected all,

Does anyone know why Nano 3 is not present when we download the library to Proteus? Nano 3 has the specificity to have Vin 5 and Vin 3.3, which is not featured if we go to proteus and select the nano to apply on the schematic. And I do need the 3.3 for my project.

Thanks a lot,

Vin of 3.3 volt sounds incorrect. Are You using the correct nomenklature?

it will be easier to use the

simulator

Thank you for your time and reply Railroader, sorry I confused you. In fact you have on the Nano 3 the possibility to have 3.3v and 5v, this is because I am remaking a power station, where I will be using the Nano 3.2, the LMR33630, the ESP8266 and a DC DC bulk converter. If operated on 5v only, the result will overheat, so I try to have the right nomenclature Arduino on to Proteus to simulate, but Nano 3 is literally inexistante

Please post schematics. Pen and paper often works well. I see no overload issue from Your posts so far.

an Ardiuno Nano the minimum-voltage of the PIN that is labeled

Vin

is 6V

If you refer to the 3.3V pin this pin is just called 3.3V not Vin-3.3V

Thank you, I am still working on schematic through Proteus, implying that I needed the exact same specifications, and cannot find the Nano 3. Still working on it> , as StefanL38 forwarded another fact about the Nano 3.

Many thanks StefanL38, as we say, devil is in the detail, and I think that you and Railroader just put me in the right direction. In fact, I have go to the drawing board.

Thank you for your help and your time.

You and StefanL38 just been an eye opener and got me in the right direction.

I will work on these pointers.

Thanks a lot for your time and answers, have a good week end.

Another "silly" question: The "+3V3" i believe would have been to connect with BME280, how does it impact on Proteus if it is not apparent, despite being physically present on the Nano 3?

Thank you again.

Your question is outside my comfort zone but good luck anyway.

Thank you Railroader,

have a nice week end.

Thanks. Wish You the same

I don't understand what you want to say with this.
I have no experience with protheus. I'm sure there is a specialised protheus-user-forum
if it is really important to use the protheus-simulator.

Not knowing protheus and how realstic protheus really is. I guess if you change from protheus-simulation to real world
all the things protheus can not simulate will bite you

  • too long wires or too much EMV-noise on the I2C-bus.
  • Forgotten pullup-resistors
  • destroyed sensors through electrostatic discharge
  • wiggle-waggle-contact on loose wires

So if your plan was
developping the whole system on protheus for weeks and then the last 5 days
build it in real hardware

change the numbers
do some initial steps for 5 days using protheus until your real arduino nano, three pieces of each sensor, a digital multimeter arrived
and then do most of the work on the real hardware. If the real arduino stays at school
I would even recommend to duplicate the whole system for beeing able to work at home on real hardware too.
third best option using a simulator at home

Thank for your top notch advice StefanL38, will do as recommended.

Nice speaking to you,

All the best.
