MH-CD42 Lithium battery charge/discharge module

[RAPTOR7762]

@wuergezwerg just a word of caution don’t use new part editor for this part.

Follow the instructions below

@vanepp

then delete the unwanted connectors (the two grove connectors)

leaving the others with their correct pin numbers.

…

Now I need to modify the .fzp file to reflect the removal of the grove connectors (which can’t be done in parts editor AFAIK) like this. Edit the fzp file with a text editor (here vi)

vi part.AdafruitADS1115ADC_11de2ba7b4b288db26a94595731e3b6d_14.fzp

and change the connector definitions like this

from

 <connectors>
  <connector id="connector0" name="GND" type="pad">
   <description>pin 1</description>
   <views>
    <breadboardView>
     <p layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin" terminalId="connector0terminal"/>
    </breadboardView>
    <schematicView>
     <p layer="schematic" svgId="connector0pin" terminalId="connector0terminal"/>
    </schematicView>
    <pcbView>
     <p layer="copper0" svgId="connector0pin"/>
     <p layer="copper1" svgId="connector0pin"/>
    </pcbView>
   </views>
  </connector>

to

 <connectors>
  <connector id="connector0" name="GND" type="female">
   <description>pin 1</description>
   <views>
    <breadboardView>
     <p layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin" />
    </breadboardView>
    <schematicView>
     <p layer="schematic" svgId="connector0pin" terminalId="connector0terminal"/>
    </schematicView>
    <pcbView>
    </pcbView>
   </views>
  </connector>

In this case, it would be the “key” pad. Also not that connectors start with “connector0pin” and not “connector1pin”

Hope this helps

Always happy to answer questions regarding fritzing parts. We are short of part makers (6 part makers are now MIA)

Edit:

Peter mentioned the parts editor has not been completed. This is true (based on experience. I still use part editor to make parts faster, but when it comes to suppressing PCB view, I edit .fzp file) You can’t have undefined connectors as everything is predefined. The only way to change it is to edit the .fzp file

It is also preferable to use the Inkscape extension (reliable and fast)

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…
