Just because a piece of software is important doesn’t mean it’s good. It was the inspiration for CircuitLab, and the Fritzing influence can easily be seen in Autodesk’s 123D Circuits. The story of the ‘maker movement’ – however ill-defined that phrase is – cannot be told without mentioning Fritzing. Despite what the Fritzing’s Wikipedia talk page claims, Fritzing is an important piece of software. Simply by virtue of being an editor for Hackaday, I have seen thousands of homebrew PCBs, and tens of thousands of amateur and hobbyist electronics projects. I feel it is necessary to contextualize Fritzing in the space of ‘maker movement’, DIY electronics, and the last decade of Hackaday. It is frequently compared to Processing, Wiring, or Arduino in that it provides an easy way for artists, creatives, or ‘makers’ to dip their toes into the waters of PCB design. We’re done with Eagle, and now it’s time to move onto Fritzing.įritzing came out of the Interaction Design Lab at the University of Applied Sciences of Potsdam in 2007 as a project initiated by Professor Reto Wettach, André Knörig and Zach Eveland. If you use a simulator, you don't have to worry about things going haywire, such as having a dead Raspberry Pi on your hands or starting a small fire.This week, we’re continuing our Creating A PCB In Everything series, where we go through the steps to create a simple, barebones PCB in different EDA suites.
You can switch out a component or add a new one with a click of a button. Modification is simple and painless with a simulator.Simulators also allow developers who don’t have access to hardware or resources needed for testing purposes but still have an idea they want to implement right away.Also, since it is entirely digital, you can share your designs with your friends/colleagues to take a look at the problem with a fresh pair of eyes. Should you get stumped during the process of iterating, a simulator will help you look at the problem in a completely different way.
You can add expensive components and operate on a larger scale than you would normally be able to. A Raspberry Pi simulator helps you work outside your budget.A simulator has several advantages that can be useful in your electronics project.
