12V Lead Battery

OK here are two copies. The real deal, 12V-battery with breadboard life size, and 12V-battery-mini with breadboard around 1/4 size. Breadboard is less than perfect as I am not a graphic artist. Perspective is wrong at least and it isn’t all that detailed, if there is a graphic artist out there, a fix up would be appreciated, a fixup in Inkscape with a log of what you did and how, to educate the ignorant would be awesome! Schematic and pcb are identical in both parts, only the fzp file and breadboard change. PCB has pads that should accommodate 14GA wire (the holes are 0.07in) as these things will provide a lot of current potentially and the board needs to be able to deal with it.

Search OPA454 operational amplifier

Eventually, (if I ever figure out how github works :slight_smile: ) I will submit them to core parts. For now a google search of the form “fritzing part OPA454” as an example, will find the copy in the forums as well as find any other parts other people have made available. Some of my parts have been submitted to core, but when I do that I then get my forked repository out of sync with the master. I have some suggestions on what I should be doing but I haven’t gotten to trying them yet.

Autorouting PCB copper 90° traces

It may work fine as is, I haven’t seen any complaints about hole sizes too small against this board, but here is an improved part that has proper size holes (and a few other fixes):

WeMos-D1-Mini-improved.fzpz (27.1 KB)

You can load this part in to your mine parts bin, then select the D1-mini in pcb and click on “delete minus”. That deletes the mini, but leaves the traces. You now move the new part from the mine parts bin to the same position as the original (in all three views), but the connections will all be red (indicating no connection) in the mini. If you click on the trace near the pin of the mini and drag it back a bit then back on to the pin, it should go green indicating the connection has re established. In practice I sometimes can’t get a reconnection and end up deleting the wire and doing it again. Another option (since you used autoroute) is to select Routing->Select all traces then hit the delete key which will delete all the traces, then rerun autoroute and it should route again.

Tracks Colors in PCB view

Is it any way to change the colors of the tracks in PCB view? For example in order to use red for top copper and green for bottom copper?
I can’t find any setting for that, maybe I’m wrong…

It doesn’t look like the UI will allow you to do this, so you would need to change the source and recompile (a non trivial task) or request an enhancement to a future release in fritzing-app issues on github. If you do change them you will likely want to change the connect/no connect colors (which you can do from the UI) from red and green to something else to stand out from the trace colors so you can tell if a connection is made or not.

Search Button missing and Can' t add any parts

Hello,
I recently bought the latest version of fritzing and I found out that the search button doesn’t appear in the parts section. I also tried to search the button in the folder and no results were found. Please, I need some help because it is difficult to find a part in so many libraries. I also have a problem with adding a new components to the parts section so I really need a solution for this problem too!

Which operating system? First suggestion (although from your other problems not likely), scroll down to the bottom of the parts panel window. Sometimes search appears at the bottom of the list (and is thus hidden as there are more bins than slots in the window.) Given other parts problems this isn’t likely though. Typically search problems (which there haven’t been any of for several years) were caused by Windows10 early patches (a forum search for missing search should turn up the old threads which may be worth reading.) and otherwise by file permissions not allowing writes to bin files. I would be tempted to delete the Fritzing installation, and the user directories (which won’t be changed during an installation) and reinstall as a first step to see if that fixes the issue. The user directories location varies by operating system:

There are two user directories (with your parts and the parts database) which don’t get touched during an install (to not affect your sketches during upgrades). On Windows they a)re in

c:\users\username\AppData\Fritzing\roaming\Fritzing (which is a hidden directory so you need to enable hidden directories in explorer) and

c:\Users\username\My Documents\Fritzing (where username is your windows id)

If you don’t have any parts or sketches you want to keep you can just delete those two directories and Fritzing will recreate them, or you can move them aside by renaming them if you wan to keep something in them.

linux

~/Documents/Fritzing/parts
~/.config/Fritzing

Mac

/Users/username/Documents/Fritzing/parts
~/.config/Fritzing

The usual reason for search and parts problems is file permissions (Fritzing is bad about reporting unwritable files). Fritzing is intended to be installed as the user running it (i.e. not as root on a Unix system, but as your standard user without sudo.)

Thanks, that’s what I suppose.
Changing the source is a difficult issue, imagine to set colors, compile, test and you have to try a different one… Neverending story…

60 Second Delay on functions?

OSX = 10.14.2
Fritzing 0.94

Why to I keep finding I have to wait 60 seconds between function calls?
File open is the worst culprit in that it takes over 60 seconds to open the dialog and then another 60 to click on the search and then another 60 to start typing!

My os is Windows 10 and i tried everything regarding the search button and the problem that I think it appears comes from the zip file. I unzipped the Fritzing folder and searched for the word “search” and got no results. And for the adding a new part, i’m trying to do it using the import button and i get this error:

Typically a reference to the data sheet for the part you want is the right place to start. There are ldr type parts (photo sensitive resistor) in core parts, but that may not be what you want. There is a ds1302 chip in core parts but not a module (which I assume is what you want.) A google search for “fritzing part ds1302 module” turns up several if one of them matches what you have and works correctly, problem solved. The IR remote controller typically doen’t connect except via IR so there is unlikely to be a Fritzing part for it although there are some hits in a google search for it.

Are your Windows10 patches current? This used to be a problem a couple of years ago with Windows patches, but as noted, no recent complaints.

The search bin is not in the zip, but rather created in the user directories when Fritzing runs. It should be in

C:\Users\user-name\Documents\Fritzing\bins

which should contain:

my_parts.fzb
search.fzb

If you don’t have user added parts I would suggest deleting or renaming (safer) both the user directories noted above with fritzing not running, then try again. It should recreate those two directories with the correct permissions. If it still breaks, I would remove both the user directories and the Fritzing install directory and reinstall the zip file. Note you want to install the zip file without “run as administrator” (which would likely cause this problem) but as a normal user. As to the load error, can you upload the .fzpz file for the part that you are trying to load? It is possible (although I think unlikely given the other problem) the part is incorrect. Upload is 7th icon from the left on the reply tool bar. You could also unzip the .fzpz file for the part. It should contain files:

part.DS3231MZ_RealTime_Clock_26762cb9e1b00e744ca6eb3f2ea5a77.fzp
svg.breadboard.DS3231MZ_RealTime_Clock_26762cb9e1b00e744ca6eb3f2ea5a77_breadboard.svg
svg.icon.DS3231MZ_RealTime_Clock_26762cb9e1b00e744ca6eb3f2ea5a77_icon.svg
svg.pcb.DS3231MZ_RealTime_Clock_26762cb9e1b00e744ca6eb3f2ea5a77_pcb.svg
svg.schematic.DS3231MZ_RealTime_Clock_26762cb9e1b00e744ca6eb3f2ea5a77_schematic.svg

and probably does, this sounds more like a Windows file permissions problem than a part file error.

Problem solved. It seems like my antivirus didn’t allow the app to change or add files so I disabled it for a short period of time and then it was all good. Thank you for your suggestions.

Footprints are good. Everything is fine except DC output pin label. Actually it is my mistake that I did not mention the pins in my drawing. So my apology. Just change the Dc output pin label as my image with the reply. the terminals of positive and negative will just swap between them.

I reduced trace width to 21mm and relaxed the DRC rules - keepout is now .2140 mm. Do you think these are risky for fabrication? Anyway I have attached the FZZ file. Can you take a look at it and tell me which pins or spacing need to be adjusted?Untitled Sketch 2.fzz New.fzz (60.2 KB)

At some point I knew that, I just screwed up in a variety of places. The pin labels in the fzp reflect the drawing above, but the pins in the 3 views did not. I replaced the part above with a corrected one where I think all the pins and labels when you hover over a pin now match the actual part.
