Summary
Visual Designer for Arduino combines world class Proteus VSM simulation with a new flowchart programming engine and a gallery of virtual hardware to provide a truly integrated and intuitive development environment for Arduino. The peripheral gallery makes hardware design easy. Simply add a shield or sensor from the gallery and Visual Designer will automatically place the correct circuitry on the Proteus schematic for you and add some simple methods to Visual Designer that allow you to control the hardware.
- Peripheral Gallery full of ready-made Arduino Shields and Sensors.
- Drag and Drop Arduino Programming with Flowcharts.
- World Class System Level Simulation, Measurement and Debugging.
- Program the equivalent Arduino™ hardware at the press of a button.
