Proteus may be nice as a "babby's first electronic" program, but as an actual EDA capture tool it's a fucking disaster (we use it at work, I wish we didn't). If you want to make a LED blink, buy a actual arduino. If you want to simulate actual analog electronics, bite the bullet and learn SPICE. If you want to actually layout circuit boards, buy ANYTHING else. Basically, as soon as you have an actual, complex board, the DRC system shits itself, and you wind up having to manually, visually check your layout before manufacturing, rather then letting the software that's supposed to do it do the checking.
