To bridge this gap, the community has developed third-party libraries that allow users to simulate the RC522 module alongside microcontrollers like Arduino, PIC, or AVR.
// Select one of the cards if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial()) return; rc522 proteus library top
Double-click the Arduino board in Proteus. Click the folder icon next to "Program File" and select the generated .hex file.
The library designed by The Engineering Projects is widely considered the gold standard for Proteus simulations. Click the folder icon next to "Program File"
Wire the components according to this table:
Ensure that you copied both the .LIB and .IDX files. If you are on Windows 10 or 11, the C:\Program Files directory often has strict administrative permissions that prevent direct file pasting. Try pasting the files into the hidden C:\ProgramData directory instead. If you are on Windows 10 or 11,
Note: If you cannot see the ProgramData folder, open Windows File Explorer, go to the "View" tab, and check the box for "Hidden items". Step 3: Restart Proteus
This is the most direct path. Searching online for "MFRC522 library for Proteus" will lead you to resources like a file named MFRC522-1.4.8_MFRC225__mf-fb06 that is specifically designed for this purpose. Its description states it allows users to "simulate and test MFRC522 and MFRC225 circuit designs in the Proteus environment, verifying the functionality of RFID systems without physical hardware". Some CSDN resources also include all necessary project files for an immediate start.
RC522 RFID module is a popular 13.56 MHz reader used in microcontroller projects. Since Proteus does not include this module in its default library, you must manually add a third-party library to simulate it. How to Add the RC522 Library to Proteus
