How to Add Ultrasonic Sensor Library to Proteus 8 | HC-SR04 | Generic

Hi guys, today I want to share how to add an ultrasonic sensor library in Proteus 8. The ultrasonic sensor is a device that transmits sound wave to the object and bouncing back to the receiver. In the Arduino world, the ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 is the best choice due to its cheap and easy interface with the Arduino microcontroller.

Ultrasonic Sensor Applications:

• Liquid level detection and measurement
• Radar
• Box sorting
• Vehicle detection
• Robotic sensing
• Trash level sensing
• Etc

Steps:

1. Download the Ultrasonic Sensor library file at TheEngineeringProjects.com or click the link HERE. The download link will appear after 20 seconds.
   
   
2. You will find three files on the downloaded zip file, named as:
   -UltrasonicTEP.IDX
   -UltrasonicTEP.LIB
   -UltrasonicTEP.HEX
   
   
   
   
   
3. Extract these three files and place them in the Proteus libraries folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\DATA\LIBRARY).
   
   
4. Open your Proteus software and search for the ultrasonic sensor component. 
   
   
   
   
   
5. Double click and drag to add to the Proteus 8 workspace.

Thank you for your time. Next post, I will update you on how to use the ultrasonic sensor in Proteus 8.

How to Replace a Scooter (Motorcycle) Battery | YTX7A-BS | 12 V | SYM Jet Power 125

Today, I want to show you how to replace/change a scooter (SYM Jet Power 125) battery. This scooter uses battery type YTX7A-BS with an approximate 150mm x 87mm x 94mm. The Battery is located at the floor panel, as shown in the figure:

1. SYM Jet 4 125 Manual

Step 1: Removal of Battery

1. Remove the battery cover by unscrewing the 4 screws on the battery cover.
   
   
   
2. Unscrew 2 screws on the battery terminal cover and remove the battery terminal cover.
   
3. The red cable indicates a positive (+) cable, and the black cable indicates a negative (-) cable. At first, unscrew and remove the negative (-) cable. After that, unscrew and remove the positive (+) cable.
   
4. Remove the Battery. For the replacement battery, I used battery type YTX7A-BS. If you buy a new battery, it usually includes nuts and screws.

   

Step 2: Installation of Battery

1. Install the Battery in the reverse step of removal. Noted: for safety reasons install positive (+) cable/terminal then negative (-) cable/terminal.
