Part help usb micro usb
Hi, just checking I have the correct fritzing part for a micro usb connector and is it positioned correcctly on the pcb. The pin dimensions seem correct but there are two addional holes - not sure...

Presumably the part this was made from had pins that yours doesn’t although they aren’t holes but marks where you could drag a hole in the sketch on to the board if you needed them (and don’t appear...

thanks Peter, so I get the values in the drill text file as follows: gerber drill holes830×766 58.5 KB but it’s not clear to me which holes are which - I measured the connector so it has two different...

The T1 number indicates which set of drill X/Y coord will be that size, so you need to move to that coord in the gerber viewer (this is gerbv) to tell where the hole is: capture1631×860 182 KB here I...

This should do what you want. There is no pcb view as it isn’t useful. There are no USB connections (although the connector is present.) Someone made some cables (with no connectors) for the Raspberry...

I’m using Fritzing Version 0.9.4 on macOS and I’m trying to place an SVG image on the silkscreen layer of my PCB. I’m fairly sure this exact image worked in the past but weirdly enough I can’t get it...

Oh no you did a perfect job in such a short amount of time! It’s clear that you are an expert. Thank you again and thank you for fixing the part. The pins are in the correct order. I just printed the...

At the last moment, I noticed another strange thing. The silkscreen in the exported Gerber files of the part are weirdly distorted. Aisler uses the .fzz file instead, which doesn’t have any issues....

otherguy: I noticed one tiny last thing: in the PCB view, the connection is still called SDI-out . But that is just a label issue. Yes, I fixed all the svgs but missed the name field in the fzp file....

That SVG image does not have any physical dimensions. Fritzing requires that to be able to scale the image to match the reset of the PCB graphics. To get it to work, I changed the svg header from:...

Thank you so much Peter. Third time’s the charm! And you are right, works just fine on 0.9.6 (though now there are some new bugs, but not with this part). For some reason I was still on 0.9.4. I...

Most of the online SVG compressors/optimizers seem to strip out the physical dimensions. I just noticed with 0.9.6 that the physical dimensions in the SVG override whatever is set in Fritzing, and...

I can see that this would make sense. Being a developer myself (well now more operations, but still) and having worked with large code bases, I can imagine that this isn’t something you could maintain...
