Parts Palette Missing

I’m also on Win10. I just tried detaching the parts as @microMerlin suggested, and then did an alt-tab but that doesn’t show the detached panel just the main Fritzing window (unfortunately snip-andsketch won’t capture the alt-tab window, but only the main Fritzing window appears not the detached parts window.)

capture

windows-key tab gets a similar screen that snip and sketch will capture

capture1

but only the main Fritzing window shows not the parts detached window. I haven’t ever managed to move the detached window off the desktop so I have never run in to this before and don’t know how to recover from it.

Wow… once again… one little “bit” in the wrong state can suck up hours of debug time.

I was teaching in class yesterday displaying Fritzing on extended HDMI display. I must have closed the laptop with Fritzing running. I hooked up the extended display once again and… viola… there it is… as separated dialog box.

Thank you for your input!

SIM7080G breakout module

There doesn’t look to be a part for this and there isn’t enough information here to make one from. I can see breakout boards in a google search for “sim7080g breakout” but a quick look doesn’t show this exact one. To make a board we would need a web site with physical dimensions and connections (not all connections are identified in the image above.)

I recently designed a PCB, however, it does not work. I connected all my breadboard parts exactly where its suppose to be but as soon as any module is plugged in, it shorts out. I am really not sure where its going wrong.

Hello!

I am not a professional by any means but there is a very nice tool built into fritzing that can check for traces that are overlapping. It’s called “Design Rules Check (DRC)”

image

When I ran this on your sketch, it found a few places where traces were overlapping. It also highlights the spots on the trace itself. You can click on the item in the DRC window and it will highlight the part that is overlapping. The highlighting will go away if you close the DRC window and you have to run it again to see if the fixes you implemented are resolved. It does not update in real time.

image

That could possibly be the issue with your design but there might be other issues that are deeper than that. Again, I’m not an expert but I would start here.

Maybe someone else can go deeper into the design of the circuit and give advice on that part.

As @Ivory pointed out there are shorts in your board. There are also a few other problems. You won’t be able to connect to the mic pads as there are boards on both the top and bottom of the board which will prevent the wires running in to them.

capture

that can be fixed by moving the connector like this

capture1

so it is clear of both boards (there may be other reasons why that can’t be done though. As well you want to enable the grid and place the components on 0.1in boundaries (unless as noted there are space constraints that I am not aware of that prevent that) like this

capture2

capture3

then move the components so they snap to the grid like this

capture4

which is contained in this sketch (note that parts have moved around which may not suit you!)

EILO-improved.fzz (44.3 KB)

Autorouting this still doesn’t work well (it rarely does) so I would manually route the board by clicking on the rats nest lines one at a time and routing the connection. That is more work but gives much better results. When that is done run DRC to make sure there are no overlaps. Hope this helps.

I mean this politely - but am I missing something here? 1.0.2 can be downloaded from the Fritzing website “Downloads” already?? What’s different about this version you’re posting?

Create an account, login, go to “Download” and you can download it freely there.

FWIW I’ve donated a couple of times, forum members such as @vanepp are super helpful when it comes to helping others and making parts etc and so I was happy to donate to help in any little way I can. Don’t get wrong, it wasn’t hundreds of euros or anything like that, but it was what I could afford and Fritzing is so useful and great for me and my projects it’s totally worth it IMO.

I want to build fritizing in Ubuntu 22.04. However I’m facing lots of difficulties in doing so. I tried following the building instructions given on github. However, I’m facing lots of difficulties in doing so.

Anyone please write a comprehensive guide for building fritizing in Ubuntu 22.04 or any near versions.

@IAmOrion NO, there is no way to download for free even after login

imagen

but in everything else you are right (@vanepp is a nice guy, etc)

however all that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread… i say the “donation” word is inaccurate because donations are volunteer, but here if you don’t pay you can’t download the file (i.e. you are forced to, in addition to last source code unavailable)… so the correct term should be “BUY”

please note my intention is not to start a fight about money or between who paid and who didn’t, anyone who had paid had taken his own decision… but to discuss about purchases, downloads, open source, and name things correctly

btw, open source software CAN BE SOLD AND PURCHASED… please read again the part about redhat

thanks for your time

Small clarification: The latest source code is available in the repository (version 1.0.2). It is not tagged, but the code is up to date. Thus, it is still open source software.

This part may do what you want. It will be necessary to print out the pcb footprint at 1:1 scale and compare it to a real part because there data sheet is 1ncorrect in the pcb layout measurements Here the copper layer is laid out according to their measurements (which add up to ~18.5mm on the height which is listed at 20.0mm) but it doesn’t match the image.

capture

.
the one in the part matches this image (where the pads match the image) which may or may not be correct.

capture1

edit:

It would have been good to upload the part …

This thread has a topic? It appears to me to be another pointless rant by someone that isn’t a known contributor to Fritzing. A simple search in the forums for “pay wall” will find 30 or 40 similar rants all of which are a waste of time. The facts are simple (and well documented if you have been paying attention over the years.) Development died in 2016. I tried for 4 or 5 years to restart it without success. Kjell (with the support of the folks at Ainsler) looked the situation over and decided that the pay wall for the compiled versions (as noted you are still free to waste your time building from source if you choose …) would provide a revenue stream to restart development. Releases from 0.9.4 to the current 1.0.2 are an obvious record of how that worked (compare that to no releases from 2016 til 0.9.4 was released in 2019 I think!). We can go back to Fritzing dying (and we may if the idiocy continues) but to me those are pretty much the choices we have. I hope most folks will just continue to make the donations to download the compiled source and fund the developers to keep developing (having compiled from source before, that is certainly what I do, unless I need a dev environment for something which I haven’t in the last few years, I have a version of eagle2fritzing which I built a number of years ago!) Just my 2 cents to this endless ranting (between pumping out new parts, something more of you should try …)

@fai i haven’t found any reference to that source code in homepage

@vanepp thanks for your response, but i see you are out of focus too…

to stay in focus… i am not complaining about spending money (i have), but instead about:

  • calling “donation” instead of “pay”
  • hide latest source code

btw, your sentence “someone that isn’t a known contributor to Fritzing” sounds very discriminatory, people can contribute in many ways… you actually don’t know us yet, and don’t know what we can potentially do for the project

again… what about change “donate” by “pay”?, sounds more realistic

In my view, pointless semantics not worth wasting time on.

? the source code has never been hidden. It has existed on github for as long as I have been associated with Fritzing. For financial reasons relating to charges on github for frequent changes there is a private repository that isn’t public (AFAIK) where development is taking place (github apparently charges for large numbers of transactions which the development method causes so I am told.) When a release is made the source for the release is uploaded to github. For whatever reason (my guess would be lack of time) they don’t chose to tag the releases, but there is no requirement for tagging releases either. The developers are doing what they feel is appropriate to allocate the resources that they have available, I don’t (and apparently neither do they) feel semantics are particularly important. I am more interested in seeing development continue to occur than see time wasted on pointless arguments. Reading the various past posts both here and on github would make all of this clear I expect as it has all been discussed before, but no one appears to take the time to do that, just start the same pointless discussions over and over. I should have (and will in future hopefully) ignore posts like this one.

Maybe in the future, I’ll respond to these with a “Don’t feed the trolls” message.
