I'm thinking of starting some kind of e-m based open source kitting biz thing and basing it on Fritzing seems to make sense. Is it just me or is this tool simply amazing? Well, it's certainly a yummy morsel for some of us. AND it's open source.ĭid I miss anything? Probably so! Oh yes schematic capture and auto routing layout with custom library parts and a large set of library parts available and growing all the time. Also it's all about making circuit boards easy along with a strong community in the forum. It's breadboard focused and that's a big theme of mine, plus it's Arduino focused which is another theme in recent years. I looked at the Fritzing web page this morning for a little while and I must say it's got a big thumb's up from me! I've been missing out on some very powerful stuff here. The early days of frequent crashes are probably over or minimized now and I heard that the functionality has been greatly expanded. I am just beginning to have a look at Fritzing after so many years away from it. I've been making my own breadboards using the 3D printer and some patient clip harvesting. You're right I plan to combine 3D printing with breadboards (full size and possibly more than one). Yes it is good to be back in touch with you. I'm sure the very helpful guys on would be able to help design the part for you if you needed something unusual like this. AFAIK This would require a custom part because the breadboards Fritzing ships with are for use only in the breadboard viewĪnd so do not appear in the other views. Knowing you, I'm guessing you want to incorporate a mini breadboard into a 3D printed design. The breadboard view integrates very nicely with the other views in realtime. It's very easy to create custom parts using a vector editor like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. Long time no see! Good to hear from you, I hope you are well.įritzing is still my favourite layout tool. I used to use Eagle which is a great tool, but I have a breadboard mindset and I like how Fritzing integrates breadboards with design and manufacture. I want to get into Fritzing as my main development tool for enthusiast / hobbyist work. I regularly update this thread with the SDIY parts I make:Īnd some tips on making parts in Fritzing! Last edited by NoodleDriver on Fri 8:44 am edited 1 time in total Select import, browse for the part (where you downloaded it) on your PC, select it and click open to install the part. Now these can be moved around individually, rotated and flipped to suit your requirements. Then in Fritzing, select Mine My Parts, you can then use the menu icon in the top right or right click on a blank area in the My Parts palette. The main problem was in that you couldn't separate the individual subparts of the IC's so it made copying from schematics a real pain. It does ship with a lack of nicely usable op amps so I remade the following IC's: Mark the topic unread :: View previous topic :: View next topic If you don't want to do it yourself, consider using the Fritzing Part Creation service.

Personally I think that Fritzing is an abandoned project, it hasn't been updated for over three years and it never made it to version 1.0. But the documentation is scarce and what does exist is not entirely accurate in my experience. Of course, they won't be part of your schematic or board layout.įritzing does have a Parts Editor, and you are supposed to be able to create your own parts. Other answer - export your Fritzing breadboard to an image and then use your favorite graphics editor to add your images. Short answer - no, I'm afraid that I don't. Posted by: my question is : do you know if there is there a way to add some kind of graphics to the "breadboard view" in Fritzing ?
