The Laboratory Stand Simulation for Programming Microprocessor Devices

Generally, in higher educational institutions there is no modern laboratory base, which includes microprocessor devices. As a result, students not only can't obtain practical experience with microprocessor devices, but even to get acquainted with them. Most of the time this is due to objective reasons: insufficient financial resources, lack of space for equipment layout, rapid equipment obsolescence. As a solution to these problems we can consider the creation of virtual stands with a full basic functions set of real physical objects using microprocessor devices. The paper discusses the creation of virtual laboratory stands in the environment of computer-aided design of electronic circuits Proteus. The advantages of working on a virtual stand: the speed of calculations, safety of researches, the ability to acquire practical skills with most modern microprocessor-based devices. As well students can carry out real project activities, creating devices for their own projects, connecting the required modules, and debug them.
