In order to make a part we would need a document, hopefully a mechanical drawing, that specifies the size of the board and the position and names for the connectors . A look at the supplied link indicates a number of different development kits but no suitable documentation providing pin outs and position of connectors. If you can come up with such a document I’ll have a look at making a part.

Greetings everyone,
I would like to add Meadow to the Fritzing part gallery.
Meadow by Wilderness Labs is the only Connected Things platform that runs full .NET Standard 2.0 apps on a microcontroller. Cloud managed, secure and embeddable. Real .Net for Real IoT.
Energy-efficient STM32F7 microcontroller with WiFi, BLE. 216MHz, 18MB RAM, 32MB Flash, 2D graphics and JPEG acceleration–powerful enough for machine vision and AI, small and efficient enough to be embedded anywhere.

I will keep an eye on this thread for any feedback or inquiries.
Thanks,
Jorge
Your part currently has a number of problems which I will fix up. The pins are not on .1 boundaries and since they are headers they should be, the bb svg at least is dimensioned in px which can cause scaling problems among others. Is there a mechanical drawing of the board available (a google search doesn’t turn one up)? I see it is supposed to be the same format as the Adafruit feather, so I can get dimensions from that if there isn’t a mechanical drawing available and assuming the board is still feather compatible.
Peter
While I haven’t yet looked them over / run them through the check script, good job! More parts are always desirable and there aren’t many of us making new parts any more.
Peter
hi,
thanks for the reply, this link has a lot of documentation on the part.
Andrei.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your quick response. Sorry for the small details, its the first part I’ve ever created. I could try to fix these issues myself, but you seem more confident and experienced to make them a lot faster.
That’s correct, Meadow is the same form factor as the Adafruit Feather.
Are these the drawings you’re looking for?
If you have a lot on your plate, could you give me some references for the fixes that you need and I’ll upload a new version of the part?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge
That should be enough to make a part. I assume we will also need a part for the module it uses, as after prototyping on the dev board you will presumably want to make boards using the module. I’ll work on creating a part.
Peter
Yes, it looks like the png file has the dimensions I need. I’ll post a corrected part for you to check in a bit.
Peter
thanks a lot, that would be perfect
Hi! Fritzing newbie here with a question about an existing component, the Camdenboss CTB0158-x family of pluggable screw terminals. First, this specific component seems to be no longer available, and the similar parts I found on Amazon have significantly different dimensions (i.e. silkscreen outline doesn’t match part). This alone wouldn’t be a showstopper, but the hole size is much too small. The holes appear to be sized for a normal header pin, not the much larger (~1.3mm) pins of this type of connector. Drilling out the holes would have removed the through-hole plating, so I had to file the pins down to fit (not something I want to do very often).
I haven’t yet attempted to climb the learning curve of modifying the part or creating a new one, so I thought I’d check with the Forum first to see if there’s an easier solution.
Note that the Properties description of the part includes “Hole size 2.7mm”. Obviously that’s not right…
On the bright side, I was able to install Fritzing, design the attached PCB, and have it fabricated in less than 2 weeks. How cool is that?
Thanks for any help!

This one should be fairly easy (or as easy as any part modification anyway 
). If you have a data sheet for the part you want and the number of positions I can modify one of the Camdenboss parts for you. You can also try a google search of the form “fritzing part part-number” (where part number is the part you want). Someone else may have already made one.
Peter
@vanepp, thanks very much for your offer! I wasn’t able to find a data sheet for the connectors I purchased on Amazon, but the dimensions in the attached data sheet are very close.The forum won’t let me upload a PDF, so I took a couple of screenshots of the most relevant portions of the datasheet.
This is the male PCB-mounted portion of the terminal block. I need 2-, 3- and 4-pin versions of this.
Thanks again!
OK. here is a new part to try out. It has a different moduleId so it should load along side your original part without problem. It is set up with appropriate file names for core parts so assuming it checks out, it can be submitted on github to get included in core parts. Things to check are size and position of the headers and mounting holes in pcb as I needed to rescale your original svgs to get the pins to .1 in boundaries. Schematic is also different than your original, this one is the same layout as breadboard view, because I find it easier when trouble shooting if schematic matches breadboard view. If you don’t like it, I can change it back to your original layout without problem. In PCB I removed the text as typically we figure if the user wants text on the silkscreen they can add it in the sketch, but if they don’t want text on the silkscreen and it is in the part, they need to make a new part. Similarly the mounting holes on pcb are only on silkscreen and will not be drilled as stands. If the user wants mounting holes they can drag a hole item from inspector, re size it correctly and put it on top of the hole in silkscreen. As with text, this allows the user to not have mounting holes without having to change the part. I also renumbered the pins starting at 0 and going to 31.

Thanks for the 3PDT switch part, Mike. It has helped me enormously.
so i converted my chrome book to Linux and im trying to get fritzing through terminal. ive gone to a lot of websites for this topic but nothing seems to work. cd ~/Downloads wont work ether.
Linux is usually fairly easy. Just download the linux version from the downloads page, uncompress it, change to the fritzing directory and from a terminal execute ./Fritzing and Fritzing should start. It does need X to run, but most linux distros should have X. You then need to figure out how to lock the icon to the desktop if you want to be able to just click on an icon to start it.
Peter
Thank you so much for all your help. All this sounds pretty reasonable. We’re going to test it, and get back to you if we have any concerns or questions. Otherwise, we’ll make a pull request to the Develop branch and see if it goes through.
I appreciate all your support,
Jorge
These three should do the job. I was lazy and didn’t change the layout on breadboard, but the silk on pcb should be the correct size for the new connectors and the holes are 0.055in

You are most welcome. We are trying to attract new users and especially developers to keep Fritzing going. Parts creation is complex and poorly documented so it is usually easier for one of us that already knows it to assist.

HI,
I am new here. I tried searching this forum and the interwebs and did not see any Lego Mindstorms EV3 parts listed.
I am doing a contest on hackster.io (https://www.hackster.io/contests/alexa-lego-voice-challenge) and they pointed to fritzing to make the schematics.
I am thinking of trying to make some, but wanted to make sure none existed before I spent the time.
Thanks.
