#223 Fritzing Parts
Most projects in the LittleArduinoProjects collection a circuit schematic drawn with Fritzing. But often I needed a non-standard part for the diagram. Here they are!
NB: if I’m making a PCB, I’ll probably be using KiCad instead. More recently, I’ve been using EasyEDA as a great tool for drawing up schematics.
New Parts
These are new parts I’ve created because I wasn’t able to find an existing alternative:

Creating Fritzing Parts
Fritzing seems caught in a perpetual 0.9 beta, and the parts editor is yet to be fully revised and documented. Some guides that are useful..

Tips/tricks/heuristics
Hmm, there’s not much guidance, but here ar ea few things that seem to apply (in the current versions at least)..
- breadboard views expect connector elements named with an ID indexed from 0 i.e. pin 0 should be named
connector0pin - schematic views expect(?) pins and terminals with an ID indexed from 0 i.e. pin 0 should be named
connector0pinand have a terminal namedconnector0terminal - render all non-standard fonts as objects
