Fritzing Circuit Design Software

If you need a way to design a circuit or show a nice graphic of it for someone else to follow, you might consider Fritzing from fritzing.org.

A quote from their website:

Fritzing is an open-source hardware initiative that makes electronics accessible as a creative material for anyone. Fritzing.org offers a software tool, a community website and services in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, fostering a creative ecosystem that allows users to document their prototypes, share them with others, teach electronics in a classroom,and layout and manufacture professional pcbs.

 

Fritzing software is vector based so you can, drag and drop circuit components, easily re-size and attach wires.

It allows you to make COOL looking graphics like this:

The Fritzing software comes with an extensive libary of components, however there are others who have created libraries of parts too. One of my favorite  Internet  hangouts is Adafruit.com. They have created a Fritzing library of parts which you can find on Github here.

MicroController Electronics

We live in an exciting age!  Just think about how computer technology has progressed in just one ‘people’ generation!

Electronic devices with smaller and smaller components are infiltrating our lives more and more making things easier.  The ‘Internet of Things‘ is taking over!

My main interest (and I hope yours too) is in electronics and especially how electronics are integrated with microcontrollers.

That is what MicroControllerElectronics.com is all about!

I hope you enjoy the content posted here!

Note: I have separated the posts into two pages. The main post(s) page (which you are viewing) has unique content, i.e., articles I have written. There is another post(s) page (Ecommerce) which contains information, reviews, current prices and links to purchase the various electronics parts which I use and mention in the main post(s) page.  The Ecommerce page is my advertising page and I keep it separate so as not to annoy you. However, please feel free to browse this page if you are interested in purchasing something I mention. If you do purchase something through those links it will help with the costs to maintain this site.
