Once installed, you can simulate an RFID system. A popular example is an . Components Needed: Arduino Uno/Mega (Microcontroller) RFID-RC522 Module (The library component) Virtual Terminal (To simulate tag IDs) Servo Motor (To simulate a locking mechanism) Circuit Connections: RC522 SDA → Arduino Pin 10 RC522 SCK → Arduino Pin 13 RC522 MOSI → Arduino Pin 11 RC522 MISO → Arduino Pin 12 RC522 RST → Arduino Pin 9 Virtual Terminal TX → Arduino RX Servo Signal → Arduino Pin 3 4. Running the Simulation
Once you master the , try these simulations:
SPI simulation requires tight timing syncs. If your computer lags, go to in Proteus and adjust the SPICE settings to optimize performance, or minimize other active windows. 4. Card Not Detecting rc522 proteus library top
In many RC522 Proteus models, when you run the simulation, you must enter the UID of the card directly into the Virtual Terminal during runtime to simulate a card being "swiped".
Close and restart Proteus ISIS. Go to (the "P" button to pick devices). Type "RC522" in the search bar. If you see the component, the installation was successful. Once installed, you can simulate an RFID system
Follow these precise steps to install the on your Windows machine:

| RC522 Pin | Arduino Pin (Standard SPI) | Function | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Pin 10 | Slave Select | | SCK | Pin 13 | Serial Clock | | MOSI | Pin 11 | Master Out Slave In | | MISO | Pin 12 | Master In Slave Out | | IRQ | Not Connected | Interrupt (optional) | | GND | GND | Ground | | RST | Pin 9 | Reset | | 3.3V | 3.3V | Power Supply |
Ensure no other SPI peripherals share Pin 10 without proper chip select management. If the data lines show grey blocks instead of red/blue logic indicators, you have a wiring conflict.
