How to Use MPU-6050 Sensor with Proteus
If you are working on a project that involves motion sensing, you might want to use the MPU-6050 sensor, which is a 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope module. This sensor can measure the linear acceleration and angular velocity of your device, and it can communicate with your microcontroller via I2C protocol.

However, before you connect the sensor to your hardware, you might want to test it on a simulation software like Proteus. Proteus is a powerful tool that can help you design and debug your circuits without the need for physical components. But how can you use the MPU-6050 sensor with Proteus?
Unfortunately, Proteus does not have a built-in library for the MPU-6050 sensor, so you will need to download and install one from an external source. In this article, we will show you how to find and use an MPU-6050 library for Proteus, and how to simulate the sensor with an Arduino board.
Step 1: Download and Install MPU-6050 Library for Proteus
The first step is to find a suitable library for the MPU-6050 sensor that works with Proteus. There are several sources online that offer such libraries, but not all of them are reliable or compatible. One of the libraries that we have tested and found to work well is the one from All About Circuits[^1^]. You can download it from their forum thread by clicking on the attachment link.
Once you have downloaded the library file, you need to unzip it and copy the two files inside (MPU6050TEP.LIB and MPU6050TEP.IDX) to the LIBRARY folder of your Proteus installation directory. For example, if you have installed Proteus 8.11 on your C drive, then you need to copy the files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY.
After copying the files, you need to restart Proteus for the library to take effect. You should now be able to see the MPU-6050 sensor in the components list under "Emulator Extensions". You can drag and drop it onto your schematic as shown below.
Step 2: Connect MPU-6050 Sensor to Arduino Board
The next step is to connect the MPU-6050 sensor to an Arduino board that will act as the master device. The sensor uses I2C protocol, which means it only needs two wires for communication: SDA (data) and SCL (clock). You also need to connect the VCC (power) and GND (ground) pins of the sensor to the corresponding pins of the Arduino board.
The I2C pins of the Arduino board vary depending on the model. For example, if you are using an Arduino Uno, then you need to connect SDA to A4 and SCL to A5. If you are using an Arduino Mega, then you need to connect SDA to 20 and SCL to 21. You can check the pinout diagram of your Arduino board online or in its datasheet.
The VCC pin of the sensor can be connected to either 3.3V or 5V of the Arduino board, depending on your preference. The GND pin of the sensor should be connected to any GND pin of the Arduino board. The following schematic shows how to connect the MPU-6050 sensor to an Arduino Uno board.
Step 3: Write and Upload Code for Arduino Board
The final step is to write and upload some code for the Arduino board that will read and display the data from the MPU-6050 sensor. To do this, you will need another library for the Arduino IDE that can communicate with the sensor via I2C protocol. One of the libraries that we have tested and found to work well is the one from Electronic Cats[^3^].
