![]() ![]() This tutorial assumes that you are already familiar with Adobe Illustrator, Inscape, or both. It will save you a lot of time if the part is already made! However, if you're certain that the part you need doesn't live in Fritzing land already, read on! Suggested Reading Before creating your own part, double check to see if it exists in those two locations or if another Fritzing user already made the part you need on the Fritzing forum. SparkFun also has a Fritzing Github repo for housing parts we've created not already in Fritzing. Do You Need to Make a Custom Fritzing Part?įritzing comes with tons of electronic parts already installed with the software. The awesome thing about Fritzing is that you can make your own Fritzing parts for your project and share with the community! This tutorial is going to go over how to make a custom Fritzing part in the Fritzing (New) Parts Editor, starting from the beginning. That just means you have to go over the dotted lines with solid lines in the way that you connected wires.Fritzing example of the INA169 connected to an Arduino On the bottom of the page it talks about routing. The PCB view allows you to create your own PCB boards from the circuits that you design. Fritzing makes all the connections for you, it just requires a little tweaking. The same procedure applies for the PCB view. All you have to do now is move and rotate the parts as necessary, and it looks more like this: When you first open up the schematic view, it looks like this: However, Fritzing doesn’t do all the work for you. To change views, select the appropriate tab on the top of the sketch.įritzing creates the schematics for you as long as you’ve connected everything in the breadboard view correctly. Using the Uno32 allows more control over the LED as can be seen here. Notice that I have two separate circuits here, one using the Uno32 from Digilent and one using a battery pack. Before we switch views, I’ll make a completed circuit. The features will be different based on the specific part. This allows you to change certain features, such as wire color. Now our LED is connected to the breadboard! On the bottom right you can see the part inspector. To connect a wire, click on the first pin you want to connect and drag it to the second one. If you just place the LED on the grid, it will not be connected to anything, but don’t fret. ![]() The blue and white LEDs in my sketch show this nifty feature. If you drag the any part onto the breadboard, Fritzing will automatically show you all the pins that are connected to that part in green. To place a part on the breadboard, simply drag it onto the screen. I find that its easiest to begin my sketches in breadboard view, as the parts look just like they do in real life. Now that you have all the parts you need, you are ready to make a sketch! You can download many parts, including Digilent parts, from the User Parts Repository. Find the file on your computer and it will be in the bin ready for use. If you would like to import Digilent or other user-created parts click on the drop down menu on the right side of the bar that says My Parts, and select import. The original my parts bin will be empty, but mine is full of Digilent parts I or other Digilent employees have created. ![]() Here you can find things like LEDs, breadboards, connectors, and anything you might need other than manufacturer-specific boards. The core parts bin is filled with many useful and generic parts. Fritzing comes with core parts bin, a “my parts” bin, and many other parts bins from specific manufacturers. The first step in creating a Fritzing image is to find the parts you want to use. Digilent uses Fritzing in all of our intern-created projects, and we’re working closely with Fritzing to have a bin of Digilent parts soon.Īs promised a couple of weeks ago, I’ve created a tutorial for designing circuits in Fritzing! Fritzing is a free tool that allows users to create clean and professional images of electronics projects for teaching or sharing. ![]()
