Hi where can you find this latching relay?

Had an attempt at it (Edit format fixed)

You posted the part in wrong format. However, I’m in the process of making one

I don’t know what that means?

Basically the file meeds to be a .fzpz file. As I said, I’m in the process of making one

That’s fine but how do I generate the .fzpz file

Wow! Not bad on your first try! However, here are some pointers:

Breadboard

The wire terminates to the centre (where it should not!)

I have changed the graphic

svg.breadboard.DRF0996_9b1dce1e24e12b693da0159644241074_21_breadboard

Then, the easiest way to fix the part is to start with a generic IC

Then edit pin labels

and edit part (right-click on the part in the sketch)

image
image1918×1012 108 KB

Then file → Load image for view (with the correctrd pin labels)

The pin order must be like this

Schematic

First go to the metadata tab and change to

Next, your schematic view is quite broken.

image
image1918×1006 148 KB

Pins not aligned to 0.1in grid and wire terminates to the centre of the pin!

The easiest way to correct this is to run through Randy’s Inkscape Schematic Extension (documented in @vanepp’s series of part creation tuturials)

Add the pin labels and you’ll get this SVG here

svg.schematic.DRF0996_9b1dce1e24e12b693da0159644241074_21_schematic

Load it into Fritzing

image
image1919×1009 86.9 KB

and set internal connections

image
image1919×1004 104 KB

Save the part

image
image1918×1006 108 KB

Remove the old one

image

image
image1918×1018 114 KB

Export the new one

image
image386×569 40.3 KB

Remove the new one as well, and close fritzing

FZP File

Now that you have the new part, decompress it, and clean up the SVGs (a downside of the new part editor)

Then delete icon and PCB files (they’re not needed)

To suppress PCB view and reuse breadboard image for icon image, change from

 <views>
  <iconView>
   <layers image="icon/dfr0996_fac38bf18b1be2b147e5a0505d66eccd_10_icon.svg">

Unusual I used it here and seemed ok, which version of fritzing are you using?

image
image1109×786 248 KB

Edit oh you mean on the trace it’s terminating on the center of it. That is because I made the connection point really long so it seems that it attaches to the center of a long trace.

Updated to the end of the board:

Wait I’m fixing your part

12

My main issue is I don’t know how to click a connection point when its under another rectangle or invisible colour.

image

This is because you have to label connectors in SVG like this:

  • connector0pin
  • connector0terminal
  • connector1pin
  • connector1terminal
  • connector2pin
    …

and so on.

Loading the svg into the new part editor should get the correct result.

As I’ve said, I’m fixing your part

Do look at my log of fixing the part

The relay driver circuit at the top seems to have got mangled a bit in your pictures not sure why.

What do you mean by that?

Ah I wondered why when I renamed them in inkscape they didn’t seem to have any effect… inkscape has its own labels…

This is because you renamed them through inkscape, and not XML editor

19

By the wsy, you don’t have to rename other objects. Leave them as it is. Don’t waste your time

20

There’s no need to focus too much into the details. It’s fine as long as connectors and main graphics (like the relay) are there

I’m still working on your part

By the way, did you use the extension

Did you use the schematic extension?
