Fritzing 1.0.3
Les Pounder spends most of his work hours looking at circuit diagrams, then carries on doing the same thing after work.
IN BRIEF
For €8, Fritzing is a must-buy for makers and educators working with electronics such as the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Providing a suite of applications to create breadboard and circuit designs, along with an extensive and expandable parts library, Fritzing is a jackof-all-trades maker tool.
Chances are that you have seen circuit diagrams in Linux Format and on Tom’s Hardware. They are made using Fritzing, an easy-to-use app for educators, learners and professionals to get their circuits designed. This isn’t a full circuit design suite – for that you’ll need KiCAD – but Fritzing is an important application in the maker community, and version 1.0.3 has just been released.
