Many fantastic people have contributed to it over the years. Reto Wettach, André Knörig, Jonathan Cohen, and Stefan Hermann. The project has grown out of a state-funded research project at the Interaction Design Lab at Potsdam University of Applied Sciences. The Fritzing app was maintained by the Friends-of-Fritzing e.V., a non-profit foundation based in Berlin, Germany. Tools - Utility tools for making releases, converting parts, etc. Sketches - Example circuits/sketches shipped with the application Resources - Binaries and definitions that are supposed not to be touched by users, such as fonts, images, special parts, etc. They are kept in a separate repository at and only linked from here. Parts - All the part definitions, including meta data (.fzp) and graphics (.svg), as well as some utility tools. Help - End-user documentation included with the app. This includes information about how to compile and run the Fritzing app.

If there is something for you, you might want to check the developer instructions next. Some of those don't need C++ skills, like reproducing an issue on a certain platform, or verifying translations of languages we don't speak.

If you would like to help with the development, please take a look at those labels: Add screenshots or copies of error messages, describe what behavior you saw and what you expected. Please provide steps, what operating system you are on, including the version. To report a problem or suggest improvements, use the issue tracker or the user forum. There you can also download the latest releases for all platforms and get help on getting started. It is particularly popular among Arduino and Raspberry Pi users, and is widely used in education and creative tinkering.įor more information on Fritzing and its related activities, visit. Fritzing makes it very easy to communicate about circuits, as well as to turn them into PCB layouts ready for production. It offers a unique real-life 'breadboard' view, and a parts library with many commonly used high-level components. The Fritzing application is an Electronic Design Automation software with a low entry barrier, suited for the needs of makers and hobbyists.
