Proteus Microcontroller Project

This Proteus simulation shows alphanumeric character on a 7 segment display using a PIC16F84A micro-controller.

The schematic diagram is shown below-

The components used in the schematic are-

• 7SEG-COM-CAT-BLUE(7 segment display)
• 9C04021A2200FLHF3(200 ohm resistor)
• 9C08052A1002FKHFT(10k ohm resistor)
• BUTTON
• CRYSTAL
• DIPSW_4(switch 4 ports)
• SOUNDER
• PIC16F84A(Microcontroller)

 Connect the parts as shown in the schematic. The crystal is connected across the pin 15 and 16. The MCLR is a active low pin for reset which is connected to the +5V source with a 10k ohm series resistor. The microcontroller PIC16F84A has a two I/O ports- port A and port B. Port A will be configured as an input port and the port B will be the output port. The output signal from port B will be connected to the 7 segment display.

The microcontroller is programmed in assembly language, compiled into hex code and this hex code is burned into the microcontroller in Proteus. But first the program. The assembly program code is below-

Copy the code and double click on the PIC16F84A microcontroller and then click on edit firmware and paste into the source editor.

Then click on the build project icon to compile the .asm file into hex source code.

7 segment proteus simulation

The VMS output should show "Compiled Successfully" as shown below-

Now come back to the schematic diagram and run the simulation-

By toggling ON/OFF the 4 DIP switch button the characters in the 7 segment will change.

Also by pressing the button we will hear a tone from the SOUND part-
