Note: The "ProgramData" folder is hidden by default in Windows. You may need to enable "Hidden items" in your File Explorer View settings. Paste the files into the folder. Step 3: Simulating the MLX90614 in Proteus
Since physical IR waves cannot be simulated in Proteus, these libraries often use a TestPin to mimic the presence of an object. Applying a HIGH or LOW voltage to this pin triggers the sensor's response in the simulation.
#include <Wire.h> #define MLX_ADDR 0x5A
Extract the downloaded folder to locate the core files (typically named MLX90614TEmpLibrary.lib and MLX90614TEmpLibrary.idx ). Locate Your Proteus Installation Directory:

The is a custom simulation model designed to bridge the gap between physical hardware and virtual circuit design for the Melexis MLX90614 non-contact infrared temperature sensor. Because Proteus does not include a native model for this specific I2C-based sensor, users typically rely on third-party libraries—most notably those from The Engineering Projects .
