You should see the component appear. Place it on the schematic. It typically has 4 to 5 pins:
Interfacing the infrared temperature sensor in requires a specific component library since it is not included in the software by default. Follow this guide to set up the library and simulate your project. 1. Download and Install the Library
To see the MLX90614 in your component list, you must manually add the library files to the Proteus system folder. Acquire Files : Look for a trusted third-party MLX90614 Proteus Library zip file (common sources include The Engineering Projects or GitHub community repos). : The zip typically contains two main files: Copy to Proteus
Navigate to your Proteus installation directory. Common paths:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\Data\LIBRARY mlx90614 proteus library
C:\ProgramData\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY (this folder might be hidden). Paste both the files into this
: Close and reopen Proteus to refresh the component database. The Engineering Projects 2. Basic Circuit Connection The MLX90614 uses the I2C (SMBus) protocol, requiring only two data pins for communication. SparkFun Electronics
: Connect to 3.3V or 5V (depending on your specific sensor model). : Connect to the common circuit ground. SCL (Serial Clock)
: Connect to the I2C clock pin on your microcontroller (e.g., on Arduino Uno). SDA (Serial Data) You should see the component appear
: Connect to the I2C data pin on your microcontroller (e.g., on Arduino Uno).
: In Proteus, these modules often include a "Test" pin where you can attach a Logic State Potentiometer to simulate changing temperature values during the run. Adafruit Learning System 3. Firmware Setup (Arduino Example)
To read data from the sensor in your code, you need a software library for your IDE. Adafruit Learning System MLX90614 IR Thermometer Hookup Guide - SparkFun Learn
There is no official or native MLX90614 library for Proteus (from Labcenter Electronics). Proteus’s default component library does not include this specific IR temperature sensor. Interfacing the infrared temperature sensor in requires a
However, you have several practical options to simulate an MLX90614 in Proteus:
The library is useless without correct firmware. Here is how to talk to the virtual sensor.
To visualize the output:
Use the MLX90614_Proteus Arduino project (available on GitHub) to generate the .HEX file yourself if you have an actual sensor.
The MLX90614 communicates via SMBus. While similar to I2C, SMBus has specific timing and protocol requirements. The standard I2C library in Arduino (Wire.h) can be adapted, but using a specific MLX90614 library (such as the Adafruit MLX90614 library) simplifies implementation significantly.
If you have Proteus VSM (with C++ compiler), you can:
