Before enjoy with the hardware it's possible simulate Arduino with Isis by Proteus.You can find a complete guide here http://www.youspice.com/ys/gettingstartedwithproteus.3sp split in 6 pages on Documentation/Proteus/Getting started with Proteus - Arduino,
you can also find free projects to download in the site on microcontrollers section.
I made a "Barebone Arduino in Proteus" , one can use it to simulate Arduino, click here to download,
I have also written a simple guide on my blog: "Barebone Arduino in Proteus"
The post is written in chinese, you use google translate to read it.
Yes the bareboneduino is working very nice...
Now I'm simulating my project for the factory I'm working in...
But I need more pin for the Arduino Simulation...
The one I got is one for UNO which have less pin than Mega...
Anyone has the PROTEUS simulation for Arduino Mega?
Yeah, the IC microcontroller is the same ATMega 328, but I dont have any idea to add more pin...
