Move both the .idx and .lib files directly into the destination LIBRARY folder. Restart Proteus if it was already open to refresh the database. Step-by-Step Guide to Simulating ESP32 in Proteus
Standard Proteus libraries cannot natively broadcast actual Wi-Fi signals. To test network code, pair your ESP32 library with a COMPIM component. This links the simulation to a virtual COM port on your computer, allowing the software to access your real PC internet connection.
To give you the best advice for your project, please tell me: What are you using (e.g., 8.10, 8.16)?
The installation directory varies based on your Proteus version. esp32 library proteus best
Optimized to handle complex Wi-Fi and Bluetooth simulation workarounds without crashing Proteus.
: Drop both downloaded files into that LIBRARY folder.

Even though we are simulating, we need a program for the ESP32 to run. You can use the to generate a .HEX file.
C:\Program Data\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\Data\LIBRARY (Note: "ProgramData" is a hidden folder by default in Windows. You may need to enable "Show hidden files" in File Explorer).
led = Pin(2, Pin.OUT) while True: led.on() sleep(0.5) led.off() sleep(0.5) To test network code, pair your ESP32 library

It provides a flawless schematic layout of the 30-pin or 38-pin ESP32 DEVKIT, pin mappings that correspond perfectly to the ESP-WROOM-32 module, and allows for standard firmware hex file integration.
