RapidIntroduction_HowToUseFritizing_ByJonFroehlich.pdf

When you first open Fritzing, it will look like
this. Since we’re not yet using breadboards,
just click on this and delete it.

Search for parts on the right side
in the “Parts” panel.

To place parts, drag and drop them
from parts panel. Once placed, click
and drag on a part’s “highlighted”
points to create and connect wires.

Right click on components
and select “Show part label”
to show labels.

Make sure LED anode is connected
to higher electric potential side of
circuit. Current will only flow from
anode to cathode in an LED.

Once you’re happy with the “Breadboard”
version, move over to the Schematic tab
and clean it up.

Click on components to select them and
then you can use the “Rotate” and “Flip”
command to orient them correctly.

These dotted lines need to be converted to
actual “wires” or “traces”. Right click on them
and select “Create trace from ratsnest”

You can click-and-drag in the middle
of a wire to create a bend point.

If you want to try and auto-generating
traces, you can use “Auto-route”

But the auto-generated wiring does
not always look so elegant
