Fritzing

Fritzing is a special program that allows you to develop models of electrical circuits, in which there is a huge selection of tools that allow you to model electrical circuits, and later use the finished models in software Arduino the best program of its kind.

Features

Fritzing - with this program the user can model any electronic device. Embody your idea in a digital model, which can later be realized on Arduino, or other similar solution. To create a prototype there is no need to create everything from scratch - ready-made elements are already in the program library. The catalog already contains circuit boards, any microchips, and any other devices like motors or transistors that may be useful for modeling. Among the elements it is easy to search for the necessary ones, convenient search forms will speed up the search, and the program itself will distribute some elements on the board in an optimal way, but the final decision will always be up to the user. With the help of this program you can create a board layout of any complexity, with maximum automation of the engineer's work.

Working in the program

To fix any of the objects in the required point of the scheme, it is enough to select it in the list and drag it to the working area, fixing it with the left mouse button. After that, it is necessary to connect it to the necessary parts of the model with wires in the same way. In essence, this is the "breadboard" method. Also, there is an opportunity to work in the modes of circuit diagram and printed circuit board. In the first option, work is carried out in a different visualization, which is suitable for experienced engineers. The user can choose what is convenient for him personally, there is no obligation to use specific modes. The user himself decides how to solve this or that question, but the program has some hints, which sometimes can be to the advantage of the user. The code of the program is completely open, it is fully russified and free of charge.
