Finally, we will add some metadata and integrate all of it into a single Fritzing part! Step 1: Gather all the informationīefore we start drawing the vector graphics and designing the part, we will need all the information we can get, mainly the physical dimensions of the part to create the breadboard view, which should have the same dimensions as the real component. We will then use the graphics to create the source files for all three Fritzing views – the breadboard view, the schematic view and the PCB view.
In this guide, you will learn the basics of working with vector graphics using free Inkscape editor. Fritzing version 0.9.3b – available from.This tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the process of turning those components into Fritzing parts. Fritzing has quite a few electronic parts built-in and there are third-party libraries, but sometimes, your circuit might be using some new or rare component that isn’t included in any of them. The main advantage Fritzing has over other free circuit design tools like Eagle or KiCAD EDA is the ability to create the circuits in “breadboard” view – basically just like using real wires to connect real components on a real workbench. Fritzing is an open-source prototyping platform that allows its users to easily create electrical circuits.
