Hi all, am trying to use a Part, a Conductive button from the sparkfun library, but the copper doesn’t meet on the pcb connections, its noted as a working part so im wondering if there is something in my settings?.

I have tried enlarging the element in the SVG that the track connects too
but it still doesn’t meet. Anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.

A PCB 'Board' Making App For Use with Fritzing (Preliminary)

$

@opera_night wrote:

After gaining enough knowledge about making SVG’s and their use in Fritzing, I decided to write an App to facilitate making a custom ‘Board’. Originally, I intended it to be a Plug-In but now focusing on Stand-Alone…

The main goals are:

• Make it easy for users that don’t want to bother with Graphic programs such as Inkscape/etc.
• Include ability to make:
• Multiple Cutouts
• V-Cuts
• Custom Board Shapes
• Usable for Fritzing’s Gerber export files (including Contour and Silkscreen files)
• Keep it Simple by allowing only Straight Lines (no Curved lines)

This is a Video preview of the App - I intend to release it soon and wanted to get some comments on usefulness and if worth the time to go through the hurdles…

The Shape and Cutout Data was previously done and video shows them being loaded.

Rather than posting a ‘beta’ here, This video should convey the general use.

Also, below are screenshots of the Exported Silkscreen with markings of how the Data Points for the tables should be done (Board-Shape is ClockWise, Cutouts are CounterClockWise for SVG’s intrinsic differencing).

Also below, an Example of Two PCB’s on a single Board (for cost savings when having them made). The boards are separated by a 0.2mm wide Rectangular Cutout (for a V-cut) with holding tabs at each end…

(Note: V-Cuts are simply a milled cut using a V-bit but, some vendors use a Straight bits or Lasers (i.e., No ‘V’)

Comments, Idea’s… Thanks

Script to automate connector creation in the fzp file

$

@vanepp wrote:

I have cleaned up, documented and released on github a python script to add or modify terminal definitions in the fzp file. There are two major uses: renumber a fzp file whose pins are out of order / out of sequence or add more connectors to an existing fzp file. The script can be found here:

It creates a file with the xml boiler plate for connectors like this:

FritzingCreateFzpConnectors.py t 1

which creates file t (and complains if it already exists) which contains this:

  <connector id="connector0" type="male" name="">
    <description></description>
    <views>
      <breadboardView>
        <p svgId="connector0pin" layer="breadboard"/>
      </breadboardView>
      <schematicView>
        <p svgId="connector0pin" layer="schematic" terminalId="connector0terminal"/>
      </schematicView>
      <pcbView>
        <p svgId="connector0pin" layer="copper0"/>
        <p svgId="connector0pin" layer="copper1"/>
      </pcbView>
    </views>
  </connector>

The expectation is you will use a text editor to add/replace the connectors section of the fzp file with the contents of the file the script generated. If you increase the first number (the number of connectors to create) it will create more in sequence. If you add another number after the count such as:

FritzingCreateFzpConnectors.py t 10 4

it will create connectors 4 to 14 in sequence. Getopt type flags allow you to modify the output in various ways I find useful. Note that the name and description fields are blank, ready to have appropriate text either copied in to them from an existing fzp file (if you are renumbering the fzp) or have values appropriate to the pin added manually. You can also suppress the pcb view section of the connector (you need to manually remove the view definition though) if you don’t want or need a pcb view in the part. This assumes you are manually editing the part files (which is what I usually do).

Hi, all:

I actually manually installed boost via sudo ./b2 install, it seems there is NO boost.pc generated in ANY pkgconfig. In such, I always obtained the ERROR message:

Project ERROR: Easiest to copy the Boost library to ..., so that you have .../boost_1_xx_0

Just wonder how to modify pri/boostdetect.pri to have the manually installed boost detected?

I’m trying to make a pi-hat PCB to a project I’m working on but after I load it to fritzing it shows up as a empty space… Custom SVG is here

Problems are:

  • It looks like it’s milling 2 times and just leaving the line.
  • Something weird with the solder mask to covering the copper?
  • Holes not being cut for the screws and the keep-out copper areas in the SVG isn’t there either?

Hi guys

This is probably a stupid question - but I can’t seem to understand which way I should turn this SD card reader (Sparkfun SD card) in order to have it face the edge of the PCB, where I want to insert my SD card :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Fritzing 64Bit on Ubuntu 19.04 libssl error - program wouldn't start (Solved)

$

@tomjuggler wrote:

I fixed the problem manually, just writing my process down in case anyone else has the same problem.

Steps I took that resulted in the problem:

I downloaded the Ubuntu bit archive from Fritzing website, extracted to my local and ran ./Install and ./Fritzing

The error was “error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

What I expected should have happened instead:

Fritzing normal startup

My version of Fritzing and my operating system:

Fritzing 09b from Fritzing website
Ubuntu Studio 19.04

Please also attach any files that help explaining this problem
Don’t worry I fixed it!

So I got the missing libssl from Debian repo here: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download

Edit: run dpkg --install filename.deb after downloading it

It was not available through apt on Ubuntu 19.04 - I believe they have replaced this library with a newer one (most likely almost exactly the same thing with a new version number, so you could probably link it up)

If I am incorrect in my assumptions here please correct me. Anyway Fritzing is up and running again for me at least.

It has been reported on github that the forum registration is broken again (i.e. new users can’t register for the forums.) The problem is being looked in to and will be fixed.

I assume updates will be posted to the github ticket if you are trying to create an account and haven’t been able to.

SMD PCB edit problem

@Blue wrote:

Hello,
I don’t know if anyone faced this problem before,
because I facing this MOST of the times, creating new PCB for SMD…
First I thought, It’s due to my setting or editing, But it also Happening with core parts…

Problem:

  • Editing for new parts, SMD pads are getting bigger. (maybe fritzing adding stroke for copper shape)
  • Only happening with, Copper pads, with fill shapes, without outline/stroke.

When I extracted svg from core parts svg, having problem most of the time without editing…
When I copy from PCB folder maybe all are working fine, But a simple edit (or save as new) on AI, Problem continues…

Some how I manage to edit on Inkscape. But, It’s a very ***** app. Not very user friendly as AI…
Why I don’t want to use Inkscape:

  1. No global shortcut available, doesn’t even import all AI shortcuts.
  2. Changing object name doesn’t save…!!!
  3. Moving/Rotate or “Resize page to selection”, making the whole PCB smaller…!!! WTH…!!!

Here, two PCB svg file,

  1. Edited with Inkscape. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EFMb5oODHg-lVUm9Lu5rucPWANXyPv0R
  2. After Inkscape editing, just Save as new with AI. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ki2haUEeCdM9nnF6D2E40WaDGc3kth1O

I’m sure there is a bug on Fritzing…!!! :frowning:

Hi I am using a DDS AD9850 module with an Arduino Nano and trying to mount it on a PCB and have a fritzing part I found in another project however it is missing various elements from the .svg I am looking for someone to edit the .svg for me and to add the top layer copper pads on all pins with through hole plating.
I have tried to do this on the new parts editor but am unable to complete this. To put this in context i learned my electronics back in 1969, I have been trying to keep up but this one seems

Making a new stripboard

@RobertHeller wrote:

I want to create a stripboard part like the BusBoard Prototype Systems PR3U (https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/BusBoard-Prototype-Systems/PR3U). I suppose I could just start with the standard stripboard and resize it, etc., but that will get tidious very fast. In poking around the fritzing source code I can across the template files used by the Stripboard class (resources/templates/stripboards.xml), but it has exactly one template, for a (now basically unavailable) Radio Shack part. And it in order to make use of the stripboard template feature, one has to edit the source code and recompile (why not provide a mech. where new template file(s) can be added at runtime?).

My questions:

  1. is there any documentation on the format of this template file?

  2. Are there plans for making it possible to add new stripboards / prototyping boards at run time?

I am thinking I might be better off, just writing a program to create a new part, but want to know if there is something i am missing.
