I do not believe there is a triangle but there are many other shapes and premade boards.
And for some reason your comment also made me realize there is another way to resize the board. You can grab the little white tabs on the corner of the board and drag them to resize it.
Thanks steelgoose
u are da best
Hello,
I am just starting to utilize Fritzing program and I find it very interesting.
Topic 1 - considering the part: MCP23S17 - with SPI interface, I found out there was someone that created the part for fritzing in 2014 but the link does not work for downloading (https://github.com/fritzing/fritzing-app/issues/2751)> I understand what the problem was but I am curious how come no one made this part again. My question regarding this topic is:
Topic 2 - considering the Wifi module from wiznet W5500: I found this part online but reading the datasheet of the part this module should have 48 pins and this one has only 10 pins.
Is there a configuration through which I can take out this module from Arduino Leonardo (in simulation) and use only what I need or is it better to make it from scratch? Or do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you fore your time and sorry for the long post.
Which package.
If it’s DIP just grab a generic IC from CORE bin, change the pins in Inspector, and then change the pin spacing to match. You can right-click EDIT and change pin names in Connectors and info in META and save as a custom part, if you want to go to all that trouble.
You can also search for the footprint and use that.
You need to improve your google foo 
search term fritzing part w5500
Gets two hits (both appear to have problems though, although they would be easy for me to fix.) Let me know which if either matches what you have and if you want a fix.
search term fritzing part MCP23S17
hit 1 indicates it is available in the adafruit fritzing library on github (which isn’t loaded by default in Fritzing but can be downloaded and installed easily or just unzipped and the individual part loaded).
edit: I see there is also a user created part that I fixed up earlier (although I’d probably use the adafruit one myself ) that is available by searching the forums for MCP23017 (as that is an alternate part number for the same device). Checking the data sheet for alternate part numbers is also a good bet, although google was smart enough to search for both terms.

Hello everyone,
I’m a new member in this forum. I have to realize a schematic of a project with Arduino.
In this project a shield Grove is connected on the Arduino( moreover i connect sensors to this shield).I want to know if in the schematic i have to represent only the shield with sensors, or I have to insert arduino , connecting it pin to pin to the shield.
I did this:
The breadboard view which looks to be complete will reflect the connections in to schematic view. So you need to switch to schematic view and move the components (which may be stacked on top of each other) to an appropriate position. Then click on a rats nest line (the light colored lines between connectors) and move a bit and it will create a wire to the appropriate terminal. You now need to drag that wire in to an appropriate routing. All the components including the arduino will appear in schematic view. If you have problems feel free to post the .fzz file for the project (7th icon from the left in the reply tool bar) and ask for help.
Peter
You can also use net labels, if many wires look messy.
Doesn’t appear so. Something is wrong with what I expect should be the shield (it is listed as an Arduino Uno, but there is a proper Uno already there and the shield is missing). If you post the sketch as an fzz file I’ll have a look at the parts and see if I can correct it. I’d guess the grove shield part has problems at least in schematic. The red in the drawing indicates a problem with a connector or connectors.
edit: assuming this is the Sodaq Ndogo Grove Shield from github, it appears to have no connectors in schematic. I’ll have a poke at it and see what I can do.

This is the sketch:
Sketch 2.fzz (212.3 KB)
Good morning Peter,
The part has 138 unassigned connectors. The Schematic view and PCB view are standard Uno SVGs that have not been updated. Most of the connectors have been written into the .fzp for the Schematic and PCB but no pins in the Schematic and PCB .svg’s to assign them to… A lot of work…
Yah, I discovered that last night. I’m working on schematic to add the grove connectors without doing the entire reconfig that the part really needs and I’ll feed that back to the seeed site where this came from. Copy paste should make it not to bad I think. Pcb view isn’t needed and breadboard looks OK.
Peter
OK, I’m finally finished. You will need to load your sketch then select the base shield you have now and right click and hit “delete minus” (not delete). That will delete the part but leave the wires. Then you need to load the part below to replace the base shield (drag it in to mostly the same position as it is slightly larger than the original which was mis scaled as well) and move the wires to connect to the new part. Once that is done schematic should work (you will notice it is considerably larger now than it used to be). If you hit problems, post the sketch here again and I’ll have a look.

is there dc current source ,i searched it for along timebut i couldn’t find it
thanks
You can fix the orientation of the base by either using rotate 90 degrees or by dragging it in to schematic first (too late for that now probably ). This appears to be a Fritzing bug which is on my list of things to fix. I’ll also feed the corrections back to the seeed folks which is actually mostly why I fixed the part. Please post if you find problems though!
Peter
If you have a model number for the part try a google search on “fritzing part part_number” but it looks like that mostly finds the various current sensor modules.
Peter
You have a fair number of problems. From the parts checking script (available on github) edited for brevity
(warnings deleted)
Both breadboard and schematic lack layerIds in the svg. The only thing this affects is export of the part as an svg (the part won’t show up).

Connector connector4terminal is in the fzp file but not the svg file. (typo?)
svg svg.schematic.125-seven-segment_60ac6a288b245897b2d6acdaaf1d3581_1_schematic.svg.bak
This lack is what is causing the lines in schematic in this sketch to terminate in the middle of the pin instead of the end as they should.

then pcb is mostly broken. It lacks a part outline for the part on the silkscreen (which the script doesn’t notice but I do) and non of the pads have holes making the pcb useless.

You likely have been bit by a translate in pcb layer. There is one message for each of the 10 pads and indeed exporting gerbers results in no holes in the pads.
