How to create a ring

$

You would need to provide either a data sheet of the part you want or a better explanation of what you are trying to do and what it looks like in a circuit (such as if you are looking for a circle of LEDs which probably exists) in order to provide any help. There isn’t enough information here to do anything with.

Remove transistor leg

Hi there, is it possible to edit the appearance of a transistor so that only two legs are visible/present? It’s a reverse avalanche LFO situation and in practice; the base pin (middle) is snipped off. Trying to replicate this in the software, as accurately as possible.

If necessary, I’ll resort to removing the stripboard track beneath that pin. Compulsively however, that option would prove something of irritant.

Also, thank you! I like this software.

Sure, it is relatively trivial. Do you have a particular transistor in mind or just a T092 case? Any preference for npn or pnp (or both?)

Peter,

I am currently using 2N3904, 2N2222, and S8050 transistors in my project. So NPN, or T092 would work.

How does one go about making the edits? I found the parts editor a little confusing. I removed the base pin from the Connectors tab, but I couldn’t figure out how to edit it visually. Probably looking at it too hard :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you for your quick response. This software is new to me.

Unfortunately parts making is a challenge (it took me around a year and a lot of help from people in here to learn to do it.) Parts editor was not finished when development stalled in 2016 (development is just restarting now.) That means that parts editor won’t work with the transistors as they have bendable legs which it doesn’t support. In addition it sounds like you are working (at least in this case) with perf board and the standard breadboard parts don’t work well on perf board (they tilt at around 45 degrees usually and thus overlap other pads.) We have a class of parts called (usually) top view that are meant to be perf board friendly. In this case I started from a top view to92 NPN transistor created by @steelgoose (who taught me much of what I know and unfortunately hasn’t posted in a long time) and removed the bendable legs (both because I don’t like them, and they are hard to configure) and created this:

NPN_Transistor_top-view-lfo.fzpz (4.7 KB)

If you download the .fzpz file, in Fritzing File->open will load the part in the the mine parts bin ready for use. It looks like this in breadboard (with a standard npn for reference beside it):

If you are just starting with Fritzing I’d probably advise you to ask about new part for a while, but if you do want to make your own parts these two tutorials cover the current Fritzing version, most others are for older versions and may not apply any longer:

Peter,

Wow. Thank you so much for the assistance, I truly appreciate it. I am eager to learn this program, and those links are of great help. In fact the problem I had when searching for Part Editor how-to guides was that the results seemed to come, consistently, with disclaimers of “This tutorial is outdated as of version…”. Or, at least, things to that affect.

My recent experience with help forums (an audio project one) has been pretty cold, and unwelcoming. This, however, has been entirely refreshing :slight_smile:

I visited the Fritzing website about hours ago and decided to download Fritzing. When I completed the payment of $9.05 I returned to the download page to continue my download but something was wrong. It continued to take me through the payment process again and again. I have checked my email severally to see if I am supposed to receive a link for the download but I’m still waiting. Please if anyone knows the right process to downloading and installing Fritzing to windows7 please could you share.

I can’t use UART to communicate with the STONE lcd module. (https://www.stoneitech.com/)I tried different serial port applications, such as SSCOM, RealTERM, and SerialPlot, but nothing changed.I don’t know what’s wrong.

OK, I’ll start fixing up a copy of schematic for this so it will be ready for you to add pins as well. Note the connections should start at connector0pin and go up in order. The labels in the current svg are not in Fritzing format but rather a description or what the pin connects to (which is valuable when assigning descriptions to the pins.) As I recall some of them are not defined yet so we may need to figure out what they do first. I usually pick one corner of the board (usually the left bottom) and make the first pin there connector0pin. You will also want to use this as the breadboard svg, it is the one from the DFR site but has been re scaled so the connectors are correctly on .1in boundaries:

DFRobot_Mega_Sensor_Shield_v2.4_breadboard.svg.fzp (827.5 KB)

Nope, didn’t correctly upload the svg. So the above is the svg file so you need to download it and remove the trailing .fzp from the file name and then edit the svg file with a text editor and change;

remove_me<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

to convert it back to a valid svg file. Quirk of the new forum software, it used to be that just changing the extension was enough to fool it. It would probably be a good bet to change the first 8 or so connectors in the svg from the current format to connectorxpin and then post the svg (doing the same thing I did above) and I will check the format looks correct before you get too far along.

Welcome aboard. At this point, (having paid) you need to log in to your account on the Fritzing site (if you are logged in here you should be logged in there as well) and tick the “I have already paid” button to bypass the donation. Once that is done there is a list of the various releases (Windows, linux and Mac) available for download. You need to click on the Windows version (so it knows which OS you want to download) and the zip file should download. Unzip the zip file in to a directory on the C: drive and then change directories in to it. In there there will be a Fritzing.exe. Right click on that and send to desktop will create a Fritzing short cut to execute from the desktop.

Hello,

the process describe by vanepp works, but that is not how it is supposed to be.

After the payment, you are redirected back to the download page, and can choose which version of Fritzing you want, include very old versions like the 0.9.3b version for 32bit systems. No login or similar needed.

It seems an increasing number of people see the issue that they are indeed forwarded to the download page, and although the server at that moment registers a successfull transaction (payment made, user arrived back at download page), the page itself looks as before, with the payment button.

I could not yet reproduce this on any of my systems (linux, windows, mac, safari, firefox, chrome…) . I don’t want to invest to much time on hunting that issue down, most time I currently spend on rewriting the complete page on a new technology stack. But still it would be great to know what is causing this.

In at least one previous case (don’t know about this one), the user had missed the “select an operating system” dialog for the download and was expecting it to download Windows automatically. Perhaps a message the you need to “select your operating system below” on the web page (assuming that is what is tripping people up)? My sense (from a sample of one) is that this is operator error, not the fault of the web page.

I expect the first item of business is to name the mega due pins on the svg (as they currently are not done.) I’d suggest a text file that associates

connector0 mega unused (maybe with the mega pin number of 251 from the Fritzing mega part, but that is optional)

connector1 mega IOREF
connector2 3V3

The red arrow in this image is where I would start pin0 moving horizontally across then up one line and repeating. but any arrangement that makes sense to you and has contiguous pins is fine. As well the two gold connector pads on the xbee connections are both unlabelled and don’t seem to appear in the (minimal) board documentation I have found. If you have a board, check if the pads or there and if so try and figure out what they do (maybe connect to the Xbee socket, but there are too many in the row to be one to one) as they will need connections in the part and don’t currently have them.

For the mega pads the easiest thing will likely be to load the Mega due in Fritzing and use either the printed pin labels or the “hover over a pin to get the description” function in Fritzing to get the name and pin number (in the due part) of the pin. You don’t need the description for the breadboard svg (nor really the due pin number but it may help later), just the association of Fritzing connectorxpin in the breadboard svg to the description for the fzp and the pin label in the schematic svg file later.

Edit:

while counting pins for schematic, I see the xbee connectors are likely 2mm rather than .1in and thus there are the same number of pins in the gold .1 pads, making it likely they are 1 to 1 with the associated xbee connector. Still worth verifying though.
