Simulating the RFID Card

In the simulation, the RC522 library typically comes with a virtual RFID card or tag mechanism. Load this code into Arduino IDE

Running the Simulation:

1. Load this code into Arduino IDE. Compile to get the .hex file.
2. In Proteus, double-click the Arduino, browse to the .hex file.
3. Click Play (Start Simulation).
4. Right-click the RC522, select "Generate Random Card" or "Insert Predefined Card".
5. Watch the Virtual Terminal print the UID.

Why a Proteus RC522 model matters

• Rapid prototyping: simulate RFID read/write behavior without hardware.
• Firmware debugging: step through microcontroller code while observing RF interactions and SPI transactions.
• Education and documentation: illustrate system behavior in class or reports.
• Integration testing: verify timing, interrupts, and pull-ups/power sequencing before PCB bring-up.

Step 4: Configure the RC522 Component

1. Open Proteus and create a new project or open an existing one.
2. Go to Library > Manage Libraries and click on Add.
3. Browse to the folder where you saved the RC522 library file and select it.
4. Click Open to add the library to Proteus.
