How to Use the Fritzing PCB Design Software

PCB Design Software-Fritzing

Fritzing is an open-source hardware initiative that makes electronics accessible as a creative material for anyone.

We offer 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.

A free software tool to support designs, artists, hobbyists, and engineers work creatively with interactive electronics, Fritzing is an open-source hardware initiative.

Fritzing also includes a community website and services for processing and Arduino to foster a creative community for documenting prototypes, sharing with one another, teaching electronics, and laying out and manufacturing professional PCBs.

Key Features:

Get inspired by projects within the Fritzing community.
Ideal for beginners through professional engineers.
Use the Fritzing Fab to turn your PCB sketches into professional PCBs.

Installing Fritzing

Please make sure your system  requirements:
Windows – XP and up.
Mac – OSX 10.7 and up, though 10.6 might work too.
Linux – a fairly recent linux distro with libc >= 2.6.
Start downloading the Fritzing package that’s right for you.
Unzip your Fritzing folder somewhere convenient on your hard drive.
This may also be a good time for you to create a shortcut to the Fritzing application.
A free unzipping program can be found here, should you need it.
If you are updating your release of Fritzing, your custom files (parts and bins) are not stored with the application, so they will not be destroyed if you delete the older version of the Fritzing application folder.

To start Fritzing:

on Windows: double-click fritzing.exe
on Mac: double-click the Fritzing application
on Linux: double-click Fritzing, or try ./Fritzing in your shell window
If you experience problems, please try downloading again.
