Stepper motor driver

With a quick look at the code, I’d probably use the entire sketch so everything works as they expect it to as that should work under any conditions. If you don’t want the microstep functions you could omit that part of the sketch and modify the if statements to not execute the omitted parts, but if you are new to coding it may be easiest to start with the whole sketch and once that works (so you know everything is ok) then change the code and see what breaks (which can range from no longer compiling correctly to compiling but working oddly or part not working). The usual reason (other than being sensibly lazy and not wanting to type too much code in :slight_smile: ) to omit code would be because the sketch is too large to fit your processor but that isn’t likely to be the case here if this is the only thing running. I prefer to start from something I know works (so both the hardware and the software are known to be fine) and then make changes from there.

Struggling with custom chip / modifying generic IC

I didn’t keep the search term I used that turned up the $1.50 sockets, but a google search for “soj40 socket” turns up a bunch (one I looked at was $26 though, but there were 2 in the $1.50 range on my original search). They aren’t through hole sockets though, they are surface mount as well and would probably use the same footprint that I made (although I didn’t check). The possible advantage is that you are trying to solder a $1.50 socket instead of a $26 ram chip if you mess up the soldering.

Any way to designate wires as input vs. output, or at least show arrows on schematic?

You (or I) may be able to create a custom part that consists of only an arrow and only in schematic that could be dragged on to a pin. I assume you are thinking of something like this:

ds18b20 |---->-------| raspberry pI pin
where the > has been added to a wire. One problem will be that the arrow won’t move if you reroute the wire and I’m not sure that you can have a part that has no connectors (although I think you should be able to).

Good, because the ones I read about only had 1 part change.

Are you talking about ‘net label’, because that’s in the CORE bin. I sometimes just use them as a disconnected label to give extra info. There is also a simple text part at the bottom of the CORE bin.

That wasn’t what I meant (because I didn’t know it was there) but it will certainly serve the same purpose without needing anything new. Good catch!

Nice one. I saw it there when I searched for label, but it didn’t occur to me to use it because it looked to me like one of those connection arrows for linking to other sheets that I’ve seen used in other schematic tools. I think dropping a non-connected “I” or “O” net label where the pin meets the wire and orienting it accordingly is a good enough hackjob til I come up with something better. That’s easier to see, and snaps to the grid. I appear to also be able to move the part along with the net labels just by dragging a selection rectangle. Though, I’ll have to be careful not to actually connect anything to it, otherwise things will probably explode. Thanks :slight_smile:

It is one of those connection arrows for linking to other sheets, ie any net label with the same name is electrically connected, but if you don’t connect it to anything it’s a nice label.

Move wires to back of protoshield

I’d like to be able have/show wires on both sides of the protoshield. see the image below. if anyone has done this or found a thread on this I’d love if you could forward it to me. As payment to the the forum for time spent answering this I promisie to start making/sharing custom parts to fritizing as soon as i get a little more familiar with it.
Thanks Peter

You can’t do this in breadboard view (which is where I think you want to). To do this you would need to do it in pcb view and they would be traces not wires (unless you used jumpers for the wires of course). Breadboard view is top view only.

Thanks for the quick response here. Yes it is in bread board view that i wanted to do this. but I can use it as is now. I want to just make sure I wasn’t missing something.

cheers

Greetings @vanepp

I am struggling about multiple things after following your tips, reading the documentation and the “new parts” tutorial.

First, here are the multiple svg files along with the .fzp file after trying to set up all the pins (took a bit to accomplish) inside the .fzpz one:
Arduino_MEGA_sensor_shield_v2.fzbz (143.0 KB)

I tested it as you told me on the other topic and it has not loading error :dancer:

But then here comes the problem:

  1. The breadboard has a lot of header pins (G = GND, V = Vcc, S = Signal) along with the grey squared ones. Does that mean I have to define like +100 pins in order to make all of them work? I tried sharing the GND pins but wasn’t successful.
  2. Following the first problem, I have to add the same ammount of GND (a.e) on my schematic file? There isn’t a workaround for it?
  3. The board size is slighty misplaced when placing over the arduino mega board. Any quick fix for this?

I used the guidelines for the 0.1 inch separation between connectors and used the same PCB from the arduino mega 2560 rev3.

Wow that’s a bit of work.

Yes the red box means the pins aren’t assigned.

You can set internal connections in Part Edit.

The board size is critical in PCB view, which looks fine, so you can leave the BB if you like or you can scale the BB in the X direction only. The MEGA header pitch seams ok, so only the actual board element has to be scaled, but are the inner headers supposed to be on 100mil because the gaps aren’t 100mil.

Looks like someone made a part because there is a FZ BB and SCH view, the problem is finding it. It could be a part(.fzpz), or in a sketch(.fzz), or in MediaTek bin(.fzp), LinkIt One bin, SeedStudio bin, who knows. Even the BB svg would be enough because the other views aren’t that hard.

Looking at it it looks like a UNO header pin pattern on a MEGA2560 PCB. Do you have one to measure the length - I think all Ardunios are the same width -. The MEGA is 101.5mm longest length.

EDIT
Found the datasheet and it’s 3.3" x 2.1" or 83.82mm x 53.34mm, shorter tha MEGA.

Don’t see one anywhere. To make one we would need a mechanical drawing with the location of the holes and connectors which I also don’t see in a quick search.
