Hi
I am a new user (downloaded this morning) but do not seem to have done it correctly
I cannot get a desktop icon for Fritzing on my start-up screen to open the main body of the Fritzing Programme
I am running Windows 10
Help would be appreciated

Q1) When I reboot Fritzing, the Window size always goes back to Default of smaller than I prefer… Is there a way to make it restore to what I set it at?
Q2) I know ‘Curvy’ traces and jumpers can be set in Pref’s. But, how to keep Curvy (in PCB view) from affecting traces. In other-words, I want to be able to Bend Jumper Wires in PCB view without affecting traces. Is there a Keystroke for it?
Thanks (I love Fritzing!)

There is no search button in my Fritzing interface. There’s supposed to be a magnifying glass inside the area I have circled but there isn’t. I’m using the latest stable Fritzing.

Hello. I’m new using Fritzing. I’m trying to find a certain part that I’m having trouble finding in the Parts section on Fritzing. I don’t know if it was custom made or if it’s in the library.
![]()
I’m trying to emulate this file (the diagram next to the part) for an Arduino MEGA 2560 (Rev 3)-run robot but with a few tweaks to it.

I tried to install Fritzing on Ubuntu 18.04, it failed! I figured out a workaround but I don’t see it written anywhere online in such a way that is clear and practical.
So, I understand that development on the javascript client/api is taking up all time now. And, at least for now, the desktop app of Fritzing is not actively developed. Therefor chances of this issue being resolved very soon are starting to look slim.
I started out by removing all Fritzing related files:
sudo apt purge fritzing* sudo apt autoremoveThen I removed the config folder:
rm -rf ~/.config/Fritzing/Next I reïnstalled Fritzing:
sudo apt update sudo apt install fritzingStarting the application normally resulted in the file /home/username/bins/core.fzb not being accessible.
Starting the application in terminal produced the following output:
$ Fritzing -f fritzing-parts /usr/bin/Fritzing: 3: cd: can't cd to /usr/share/fritzing/parts QIODevice::read (QFile, "/home/wouter/bins/core.fzb"): device not open QIODevice::read (QFile, "/home/wouter/bins/contribParts.fzb"): device not open QIODevice::read (QFile, "/home/wouter/bins/core.fzb"): device not open QIODevice::read (QFile, "/home/wouter/bins/contribParts.fzb"): device not openIt is clear that the parts are simply not available. To fix this, we can download them seperately from github:
cd /usr/share/fritzing/ sudo git clone https://github.com/fritzing/fritzing-parts.git sudo mv fritzing-parts/ partsYou can now start the app normally or via terminal by typing:
Fritzing.I hope this helps some people out who have trouble starting Fritzing on Ubuntu 18.04 because of missing parts.

I have imported 2 new parts: Arduino pro Micro from SparkFun. One of them has a bad pcb part without pin names, the ohther will not work. If I open the second, Frizing hangs. It is not possible, to remove this parts. Why? The menu-entry is grayed.
So I have removed Fritzing application and clear the Windows 10 registry from all Fritzing entries. After that I have done a new install of Fritzing. Oh miracle, Fritzing knows all my old private parts - and the both unusable Sparkfun Pro Micro too.
Is there a way to remove this parts? They are not used in any Project!
I hope for help!Environment: Windows 10 + Fritzing 0.9.3, Fresh from today.
Wrong Parts: sparkfun-promicro.fzpz and Pro Micro.fzpz, both from serious Sources at the net.

I followed the tutorial to draw a custom pcb with cutouts. Fritzing loads the custom svg and displays the cutouts properly. But when I export to gerber files, the cutouts seem to be vanished.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
greets to everybody, I’m a newbie from germany,
Although my question isn’t really difficult i notice
it isn’t easy to do it in englishI searched whole internet but couldnt find a solution.
What i wanna ask is:
How can i insert a single copper connection like via on a pcb
(but NOT a via, cause pcb will be singlesided) ?Think of soldering a wire on the pcb … i would drill a hole from the upper side of the pcb
and then there has to be a dot of drilledthrough copper on the other side where i can solder my wire.Think of the endpoint of a resistor without resistor …
As i understand we connect parts, but what if there’s no part just the need to have a
place where i can solder and connect to other parts ?I hope my question was understandable ?
Best regards
Harry

I’m following-up a previous Topic with a Concise posting (with Example and Code… in Fritzing)
Example:
Using IR receiver 1838 an Panasonic Cd Player’s Remote (but, most any IR-based remote will work along with most any IR receiver (just be sure to Hook it up correctly per Specification).Code:
This simple code uses one of the Atmel chip timers to Generate a Square-Wave @ 38.4kHz.
That enables paring with output from remote. The timer’s implementation is well-known and often used.The image shows a capture on O’Scoope with decoding info of the Number ‘5’ button pressed.
This stuff can be confusing to Newbies but, a small amount of homework = knowledge!Code is included… It should be on the Code tab in the attached .fzz file but, it’s also added at end of this post…
forU.fzz (6.4 KB)
The Code:
/* Reads IR recvier on Analog Pin
Uses “38.4kHz_Timer and IR_Analog_Tester codes; Combined into this single code”
Reads Sony/similar Remote Control
Wave form will be seen on pin D3
Pulse received from Remote Control will be seen on A0Feb 5, 2019 Rev -0-*/
int IR_recvrPin = A0; // IR signal input (can also see this Pin on O’scope)
int IR_recvrInput = 0; // variable to store the Input coming from the IR_recvrvolatile byte pulse = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);setIrModOutput();
TIMSK2 = _BV(OCIE2B); // Output Compare Match B Interrupt Enable}//end setup
void loop() {
IR_recvrInput = analogRead(IR_recvrPin) * 5 / 1023;Serial.print(IR_recvrInput, BIN); // useless info
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.println(IR_recvrPin, BIN); // useless info
}//end loop//================================ SUB’s and ISR, Timer… =========================
ISR(TIMER2_COMPB_vect) { // Interrupt Service Routine to pulse the modulated pin 3

}
}void setIrModOutput() { // sets pin 3 going at the IR modulation rate
pinMode(3, OUTPUT); // outputs the Frequency wave
TCCR2A = _BV(COM2B1) | _BV(WGM21) | _BV(WGM20); // Just enable output on Pin 3 and disable it on Pin 11
TCCR2B = _BV(WGM22) | _BV(CS22);
OCR2A = 51; // defines the frequency 51 = 38.4 KHz, 54 = 36.2 KHz, 58 = 34 KHz, 62 = 32 KHz

Hi all
Yes another newbie ! I have never designed a PC so this is a steep learning curve. I’m trying to create a new part, all the information that comes up either said “this is out of date as we have updated it” and sends you to a link that doesn’t show how to make a part, or shows how to edit a part.
I’m trying to add a PCB mounted dual 18650 battery holder, can anyone help ?
Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to export my board into a Gerber file but Everytime I click export to Gerber fritzing crashes and I have to exit and start it back up just to get back to my pcb, I haven’t added anything that wasn’t available in fritzing and have all the fritzing updates (I believe).
I’ve tried at least a dozen times to upload to aisler through the fabricate button at the bottom and selecting my file but every single time it shows an error of “The board does not contain outer bounds. It can’t be manufactured like this. The outer bounds should be on the dimensions (eagle) or Edge.Cuts (kicad) layer.” ( I’ve also tried uploading a stock blank board with the exact same results)
I have gone through and made sure there aren’t any parts or labels outside of the board but still can not get it to work. My preference would be to to export to Gerber so I can have jlc make my board (half the cost and I get 2 more boards) however at this point with 80+ hours and 4 months worth of work I just want a board.
Please any help will be extreamly appreciated!!
Thank you!!

Following up on side discussion (re programming) in a previous unrelated post. I tried compiling Fritzing… Problems…
Machine: Mac (OSX Sierra 10.12.6)
I have Zero problems compiling and running my Apps coded in: C, C++, Java and Python using Qt, QTCreator, Eclipse and (dare I say it, Xcode).
All compile and run without problems.I downloaded Fritzing and libgit2.
I compiled/Built libgit2 and set the paths for universal access.
Then, I followed up with this instruction:
-f “/path/to/fritzing-app/” -parts “/path/to/fritzing-parts/” -db “/path/to/fritzing-parts/parts.db”Then, Build & Run but, NO Success
Attached images shows files locations and QT’s Error Msg at bottom…
Read several post on net to see others have same/similar issue.
It’s possible I’m confused over the instructions so, any guidance is much appreciated… Thanks

Hello guys! Ive got a small problem here, I have this part downloaded from the internet and in the schematic it seemed really big. So I pressed the option “convert schematic to 0.1 inch standard”. But now, all the connectors are sticked together. How can I change the place of them so they can be next to each other? Thank you for your time, Jordan
