Proteus combines ease of use with powerful features to help you design, test, and professional layout PCBs like never before. With nearly 800 microcontroller variants ready for simulation straight from the schematic, one of the most intuitive professional PCB layout packages on the market and a world-class shape-based autoroute included as standard, and Proteus Design Suite 8 delivers the complete software package for today and tomorrow's engineers.

The Proteus PCB Design products include both schematic capture and PCB layout modules and are designed to be easy to use and powerful. Features such as a world-class shaped-based autoroute, 3D Visualisation, automatic net tuning, design snippets, and assembly variants save you time during product design. Meanwhile, a robust design rule system enforces whatever rules and clearances you might need for your PCB. The routing of tracks is fully designed direction aware, and live clearance checking makes it easy to locate and correct any violations.

Proteus Visual Designer allows Arduino programs to be written with simple flowcharting methods and Arduino shields to be placed on the schematic with a mouse click for academics and the maker market. The entire Arduino system can then be simulated, tested, and debugged into the software. Proteus IoT builder then adds the ability to create a user interface for your phone or tablet to interact with the Arduino electronics. You can even test this by controlling the running simulation from your mobile device.
