Assigning connectors in Parts editor

[vanepp]

Your svg is misconfigured, as is the fzp file. The svg currently looks like this:

Which is missing the breadboard layerid (the top red circle) and the connector names as set in the fzp file. It should look like this:

which is this svg

If you unzip the .fzpz file you will find a file called

part.MCP4725_0b209649dd860fe342f521e54cf50b68_2.fzp

which specifies the names of the layerID (breadboard) and pins (connector0pin - connector5pin) that need to be in the svg.

<breadboardView>
 <layers image="breadboard/MCP4725_0b209649dd860fe342f521e54cf50b68_2_breadboard.svg">
  <layer layerId="breadboard"/>

and the required pin names in the svg file in the connectors section (the svgId field in this case):

<connector id="connector0" name="pin1" type="male">
 <description>Vout</description>
 <views>
  <breadboardView>
   <p svgId="connector0pin" terminalId="connector0terminal" layer="breadboard"/>
  </breadboardView>
   </layers>
  </breadboardView>

In this case you don’t need the terminalId and it could be removed from the .fzp file, but will be ignored if it isn’t in the svg. As well you need to change the family from Generic IC to something else as Generic IC will replace your part with a Generic IC if you change a field in Inspector. Changing the family to MCP4725 is what I would do here.

 <properties>
  <property name="family">Generic IC</property>
  <property name="variant">variant 47</property>

to

 <properties>
  <property name="family">MCP4725</property>
  <property name="variant">variant 47</property>

This can be done in Parts Editor in the meta data section as well. These tutorials (which applies to the current version of Fritzing) may help as well

Part creation howto part 1 breadboard and pcb

Someone in this forum post requested help to fix up a part. So while doing that I decided to record what I needed to do in order to fix the part to provide a tutorial to create new / fix broken parts. If you start from the Tarjeta S4A EDU.fzpz file posted in the above thread, you should be able to recreate my improved part posted in the same thread. I started by loading the original part in to Fritzing, that indicates breadboard is (at first look anyway) pretty good, but schematic and pcb are…

edit:

In addition both schematic and pcb are incorrect. Schematic I replaced via this Inkscape extension:

Fritzing-Schematic an Inkscape extension - released

Hi all! I have been working on an extension for Inkscape to create rectangular schematic symbol .svg files for use in Fritzing. I think I created a useful tool to speed up creation of schematic symbols, and now I want to share it with the community. It’s available on github: https://github.com/revolt-randy/Fritzing-Schematic-an-Inkscape-Extension. To install: In Inkscape, the edit menu → user preferences → system will have an option for ‘User extensions’ - allowing you to open the folder to…

using these paramaters

pcb is a copy of breadboard modified to the requirements of pcb. Note the mounting holes are not drilled, if you want mounting holes you need to drag a hole part from pcb in core parts in to the sketch. Pin names are the same as your .fzp file (and don’t match any breakout board I see!) All these changes are in this part
