hello,
I tried many times to do a simulation on Proteus 8.6 of an ATMEGA328P with a program (.hex) exported from Arduino IDE, the atmega328p is on external clock (16 MHz), the simulation is about reading a temperature value and display it in the virtual terminal but the virtual terminal shows ( Ç Ç Ç Ç Ç Ç ), I would like to hear your thoughts about it ?
Thank you

First guess is that you’ve initialized the serial speed of the virtual terminal incorrectly. Like it’s set to 9600 and the simulator is at 19200... I can’t be sure since I’m unfamiliar with your simulator, Proteus.

I initially thought of that. I am just guessing that the baud should not matter on a simulation since it is not actually looking at UART signalling.

I thought that as well. But I don’t know Proteus. The serial console on the Arduino IDE uses an actual serial connection I make this statement as the serial console/virtual terminal a) can be on any HW/SW serial port of the Atmega and b) misconfiguring the serial connection in a sketch causes exactly this behavior.
