A nifty li'l Onion Omega2

Wow this is awesome! I'm Lazar, the CTO at Onion!
We've been wanting to make a Fritzing model of the Omega2 and the Docks for quite some time but just haven't found the cycles! And yes, our illustrations do have 32 pins instead of 30 pins on the Expansion Header...

Would it be ok if we made a GitHub repo that includes the parts you've created so that all of the members of the Omega2 community can benefit from it?
The repo will be public and you will of course be mentioned as the contributor.

Please let me know!

Sure, that's what they are for is to be shared.

Arduino mkrfox1200 bug with fritzing to make pcb

Well as always this was instructional. The original bb file was done in Illustrator apparently at 96 dpi (which is the css standard). Editing it with Inkscape works fine until you save it, when Inkscape sets it to 96 dpi (like the input) rather than 90dpi as it used to. When the result is loaded in to Fritzing, the bb scale is too large (as Fritz assumes 90 dpi but the file is 96 I think). I've spent most of the day to figure out how to recover this, and I'll add that to the Inkscape tips thread in a bit. Now as to this part. It is really broken. It has busses (none of which are present on the part, but then perhaps neither are the connectors it references ...), pads that appear to have been freehand drawn in bb, very odd pin numbers internally a poor and incomplete schematic (which I tossed and did over entirely, with schematic matching the layout of the device pins in BB as is best) and no pcb svg (the original problem). So I created the pcb svg from scratch and fixed up the BB svg with new round all identical pads. I think this part should be correct, but as I don't have one to check, as always before cutting a PCB print out the footprint and check it against a real part to verify it is correct. If I can figure out how to contact them, I'll offer this as a replacement for their current part ... If the OP downloads this part it will hopefully do what he wants.

edit: Replace this file with one where the svgs have been post processed to remove the Inkscape badnesses (such as px in font size) which I forgot to do in the first one):

Inkscape Tips and Tricks

Tip 10:

A bb file that looks fine in Inkscape scales too large when loaded in to Fritzing. I've hit this before but not known how to fix it, but today I found both the cause and a fix. The original file was done in Illustrator and is apparently 96dpi. Editing it in Inkscape .9.2.1 works fine, but when imported to Fritzing the scaling in breadboard view is too large. I think what is happening is that Ink recognizes the input file was 96dpi, and saves the output file as 96dpi. Fritzing expects Ink to use 90 dpi and uses that, thus the scale problem. The cure is relatively easy (now I have found it at least). Open the file in Inkscape, do an edit select all so you have selected the entire drawing, change the units in the tool bar to in. Now in xml editor edit the ver first node and set the height and width (which will be dimensionless and thus in px, whatever px is currently assumed to be and which causes the problem) to the value from the tool bar in inches with a trailing "in". Now when you save the file Fritzing can and will calculate the dpi value from the height and width settings in inches. So simple, but so hard to find ...

Sorry,
not sure if I should ask here/ or could I found help here? :confused:

I've mailed to fritzing support for a part request, 3 weeks ago
and there's still no reply

support/tickets/13946

is the part-creation team still active?
or should I start digging in how to create a part :frowning:

still looking for apa102-2020 :wink:
it is essential in my PCB and I am willing to pay the team for a good fritzing part,

We are pretty tired of looking for datasheets all the time so that we can help people, so could find a link with dimensions.

We looked at SMD RGB LEDs recently, so you might want to look there.

There ought to be some way to prevent people from creating junk projects like that.
Perhaps there's a way to "flag" a project?
It just clutters the website.

What are you talking about? I am on here multiple times a day and I have NEVER seen a movie being posted other than parts creation videos every so often in the parts help section.

Sorry I thought you were talking about the forum as it has a projects section too. I can't give an answer other than people that upload those types of videos and spread the links everywhere do it to make PROFIT off of views. They are paid by the hosting company. It is the reason why Kim Dot Com is being extradited to the US as his hosting company also rewarded people for uploading and sharing pirated content.

Honestly I didn't even know that section existed becasue of how I use Fritzing to make PCBs not to document module connecting.

Maybe @landracer could help us.

Yeah, it's too bad the main site doesn't have a flagging mechanism like the forum site does. Weird too 'cause you have to register with a valid email and prove you're not a bot with captcha, to be able to create a project!

I would normally say it's just an annoying little thing, but the issue is that the uploaded project files are just re-named zip files, which means such rogue users can post malware ... I suspect such projects really are in fact malware, but I'm not gonna waste more time on this.

Thanks for your input, and the quick attention! :slight_smile:

Hopefully Landracer will be able to help with this. He is an admin and has the power to remove things etc. Hopefully he will have an answer that is better for the future like adding a report button.

thanks, but
actually, that was mine upload, for early testing

the uploaded .fzz was not a complete part
it was a series of accurate dimensioned pads,
If i need to copy them , i'll paste 8 pads, not a part
it becomes laggy when I need to chain them in , like 40s/80s of them
and very easy to mess up when dragging them.

also I didn't draw schematics/ silkscreen / ...e.t.c.
as i will use the part intensively in my product
I am willing to pay/donate for a complete part
and I made an inquire at http://fritzing.org/services/parts-creation
which is, hanged for three weeks.

@Old_grey
theres are the details in the inquire/support ticket

the part I actually bought and soldered
from taobao/alibaba
below is the most possible datasheet of the same part above.

thanks for replying

Well I had a few minutes so I made the footprint based on your datasheet. I don't have time right now to make a complet part. But it is easy with the parts editor. Open something like a ws2812 in the editor. Then change the pin number in connections. import the new svg into the pcb area. Assign the pins. Then assign the internal connections (check box and then draw them on the diagram) and after that you just need to change all the meta data and save as a new part. Quite easy when you use a similar part to start and use the editor to assign the pins.

Maybe just put the footprint into a the "Super Flux RGB LED part".

EDIT
There is also a "Tri-Color LED SMD" that looks a bit closer in BB view.

It sounds to me that they are making PCBs so the schematic and PCB would need to be correct and the breadboard view of the other individually addressable LEDs would be fine. After all it is a big green part with a tiny little picture of an SMD LED. And if they are making a PCB they don't even need to open the breadboard view ever.

Here is a start. I think it would make a workable PCB at the moment but it does need a new Schematic and Breadboard because it has two pads for Vcc and two for GND in the middle which is two more than the WS2812 that I started with.APA102-2020.fzpz (10.0 KB)
