Fritzing portable

There may be (although Fritzing is the only one I know of with a breadboard mode), but if so I don’t know of them. Simulation of programs is generally fairly complex. Perhaps someone else may have some suggestions and we will all learn :slight_smile: .

falstad looks (from the initial screen) to be a graphical interface to spice. I such a case it is very unlikely that it will simulate a CPU (the cpu is too complex) which I think is what the OP is looking for. I know there is a simulator for the PIC CPUs from Microchip, but I don’t know of one for the Amtel CPUs (although there may well be one somewhere).

EMC1701-2 Fritzing part

A Fritizing part for the EMC1701-2 high side current -sense chip from Microchip. Unlike the usual current monitors this one has internal A/D converters to provide a digital (rather than analog) output. It is in a 10-TFSOP case (.05mm pitch) which is a bit of a pain, but to my surprise I managed to hand solder one to a 10 pin dip adapter board from Ebay, so it is possible. All three views present. Now to create software do use it (as there doesn’t appear to be any on the net). SMB bus interface which apparently works with I2C.

Thank you. Ok I have found the components I was looking for. Lastly, I tried to find on google the MQ-2 sensor searching for the last 2 hours, but nothing exist. Does anyone have found the part, in order to help me? Also how do I put power supply 5Volts, on fritzing sketch?

Creating custom PCB shapes - Top gets lost?

For a project, I’m trying to create a custom PCB that would have the rough size of an arduino uno shield but with some material removed to accomodate for some features on the arduino board I’m using.
I’m creating my svg in inkscape, but somehow every time I try to export my fritzing project with the custom pcb, the top of the pcb gets lost. Here’s a preview of what my contour.gm1 file looks like in a gerber viewer:


Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Here are all the files you might need, like .svg, gerber and .fzz

The advise in this forum post:

also applies here. A part that has the same pins will do to represent a part not present. For power there are two choices: the best one is to add a power source (a battery and regulator, a regulator with an external supply, although I don’t think there are external supply parts around) or just scroll down the core parts bin to schematic view and drag the V++ icon in to the drawing. The disadvantage to this is that it only provides a schematic symbol for power, it doesn’t actually provide power to the circuit (you have to remember to do that in some way for it to work).

While I am far from an expert in this particular area, it looks like you forgot to resize image to page (at least in Inkscape). Things outside the view box get truncated and that looks to be what is happening here. Loading your pcb-1.svg in to Inkscape and doing edit select all indicates the origin is -0.016 -0.016mm. Try doing (in Inkscape, I don’t know how to do this in the other svg editors):

edit->select all

file->document properties->Page->Custom size->Resize page to content…-> Resize page to drawing or selection

which will change the origin (and more importantly the viewbox) to the size of the document. Save it as plain svg and reimport it and see if that helps. I expect one of our pcb experts will comment if this doesn’t do the trick.

I’m not 100% sure what caused the problem but I do know how to fix it.

First off I did resize the page like Peter suggested because it was 0.2mm smaller than the PCB which would cause an issue similar to what was happening here. But it did not fix it. The problem has to do with the order the path is written in the SVG file and the way I found to get Inkscape to re-write the path was to select the board with the node selection tool and then use “path/simplify” (Ctrl+L)

This fixed the board outline but not the silkscreen. I tried it with your silkscreen layer too but it never shows when I use Aisler to check the results.

hi!

i have a board like in this top Image

but when i use a board in fritzing the number orientation will be in the other side.

is it possible to Change the number-orientation in fritzing?

how?

Maybe I am missing something but couldn’t you just rotate your real word breadboard 180 degrees. Or if you have to have it the other way around in Fritzing you can Press Ctrl + R to rotate the breadboard 180 degrees.

Hello, newbee here on this Forum!
I am already working a few months with fritzing 0.9.3 and have made some pcb’s with it.
Currently I am working on a new pcb and during the session suddenly I am no more able to
select any library component. Have not the foggiest idea what I did wrong. Did a restart of both the program and my computer system without any result.
My fritzing program run on a linux o.s. PCLinuxOS 64 bit
Can somebody on this Forum help me out please?

Thank you.

How do I connect a camera to the Raspberry Pi 3 using the cable (not through USB)? And also how to connect a Xbee USB explorer to the Raspberry Pi 3?

It is a fairly trivial task to change the svg to match your breadboard. This isn’t quite correct in that inspector doesn’t select this correctly but if you load this part the breadboard should match yours.

Hmmm, this is a new one. Likely answer is database corruption for some reason. Two things to try:

First take a copy of directories

~/Documents/Fritzing/

and

~/.config/Fritzing

as a backup (they contain all your current sketches). Then

  1. reinstall the Fritzing program from the zip file. This is unlikely to fix it, but is the least destructive (it doesn’t modify the two directories above).

If that doesn’t work

  1. Delete ~/Documents/Fritzing/ and ~/.config/Fritzing

Fritzing will recreate new copies of these when restarted. This will delete all your current custom parts and you will need to reload them by exporting them to fzpz files via parts export and then reloading them. You have likely hit database corruption somehow and this should clear that.

I suspect you don’t :slight_smile: , I don’t think there is a PI camera part and there isn’t anything to connect it to as far as Fritzing is concerned. The camera connector isn’t implemented in the PI parts as I recall. Although someone achieved it at least somewhat as shown here:

I don’t know where they got the camera part (and I don’t think it actually connects to anything there is just a wire in breadboard I expect).

Same problem (and solution) the USB ports are also not connections in Fritzing so you would need to find an image or part of the board and fake a connection in breadboard (it won’t show up in schematic I expect as it isn’t a real connection).

Cannot select a library component

Well, I had to execute step 2 to get components dragged into my pcb again but I still have problems when I want to insert an extra wire. I usually drag the wire symbol from the breadboard view into the component pin which I want to do the extra connection and that worked up to that problem appeared. I can now again drag and drop components into my pcb and move them around.
But the strange thing is that when I click on any component there still appears that “forbidden” sign which I do now neglect.
I did a reinstall of fritzing but I use my synaptic package manager to get the program reinstalled.
Someone of our PCLinuxOS package people was so kind to install the latest fritzing version because it was not in our synaptic package library before.

I’m not really clear on the problem you are having, so if you could upload a copy of your sketch (7th icon from the left on the reply menu) I’ll have a look at it and see if I can see what i(if anything) is wrong. This may just be how Fritzing works. I generally install on Linux via the tar file on the distribution page, but as long as the package installs OK that should be fine (there have been problems in the past with some of the package installers that installing the tar files has fixed).

I’m not clear what this means, which is why a sketch would be useful. You are clicking on a component in pcb view when this happens?
