No working connectors in new part

parts help
1

Hi I have tried to modify this existing part to the Part I want to use. The connectors are the same, only the dimensions of the part are different. I have changed the dimensions and connector positions in Inkscape, however when I use the new drawing the connectors are in the correct position but I cannot connect them. What did I do wrong?

Name of the part
HLK-10M05

Previous work, similar parts
HiLink HLK-5M05

@Jaapio1969 What do you mean by “No working connections”

3

Sorry, I posted to soon. I edited the post in the meantime.

4

Do let me know if you’ve edited as the forum won’t notify me

5

Hi Raptor, Have edited the post. I hope all is clear to you.

6

@Jaapio1969 Can you attatch that .fzpz file?

7

Yes, please find it attached. I experimented a bit further. Now there is a square in the middle which connects. But the connectors do not work…

Please use variant 3, that is the part I have drawn.

and ungroup everything.

Group the rectangle, the connectors twice, and reorder/rename them, like this. Same thing, rename the connectors as necessary

You also have to change the stroke to #f7bd13 too.

Wauw, thank you for your efforts and explanation. I am using two different transformers. I will generate the other with your instructions!

10

I have worked my way trough until

I am using a MacBook with OSX 15.3 installed. I managed to install Python, I opened the Phyton terminal screen. When I enter the following syntax:

FritzingCheckPart.py HLK-part.fzpz.bak

Python returns “SyntaxError: invalid syntax”

I assume some paths are not correctly set? Is there a OSX manual on using this tool?

11

There is no manual for any version, it is mostly used by people familiar with python (and there are only a handful of users.) That command won’t work and should return a usage message as it is expecting a .fzpz file (not a .fzpz.bak file.) You also need to load the lxml library in to python before it will run (although the this error message isn’t from no lxml either.)

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your reply. I have altered the filename and the command to:

FritzingCheckPart.py HLK-part.fzpz

I still get the same return: “SyntaxError: invalid syntax”

Do I understand correctly that if I am not familiar with Python it is not possible to work with? Do you have a online method to use your script perhaps? Or can I go through the drawing step by step to do it manually?

13

There isn’t an online version that I am aware of, it usually runs without much problem (the lack of lxml is usually the problem and that can be cured with pip) but it normally gives more error information than just “SyntaxError: invalid syntax” (but I am on Windows not a Mac, so things may be different there.) One thing to try is run it as FritzingCheckPart.py -d3 part.HLK-part.fzp (the file name should be .fzp not the .fzpz file which is compressed.) The directory with the part should look like this with the .fzp file and all the svgs present.

part.24V_SMD2835_LED_Strip_1.fzp
svg.breadboard.prefix0000_6fbdb41430491ba080df8d6e0bc872e1_11_breadboard.svg

svg.schematic.prefix0000_6fbdb41430491ba080df8d6e0bc872e1_11_schematic.svg

The -d3 activates debug mode which should produce a bunch of debug information on the console and may tell me something. Alternately and maybe easiest if you upload your .fzpz file (upload is 7th icon from the left in the reply menu.) I can download it, decompress it and run it through FritzingCheckPart.py to both check it and show you what kind of output you should be expecting and what to do about any errors.

edit:

I just downloaded your part above and ran it with this result

another thought are you running python3? I’m not sure FritzingCheckPart.py will run on python2.x although it may.

edit2:

I modified a test script to have a syntax error then ran it. For me here is the output it produces:

$ FritzingCheckPartt.py part.HLK-10M05_7db924165e20438e5ba65929091a3343_2.fzp

I would expect to see more information than just a syntax error with no context, python normally provides detailed error messages as it did here.

In the fritzing-parts repositort, I am maintaing a script to check parts during our CI, which is also intended to be run manually.
For some problems, there are automatic fixes that can be enabled. It also takes care to apply minimal changes during these auto-fixes, so that changes still can be reviewed manually line by line.
Unless of course you reformat the whole file with scour or similar.

15

Hi KjellM, This sounds great. Where can I find this script?

16

Hi Raptor7762,

I did what I could do with the instructions you posted above. I need two transformers to be designed on a new PCB, the HLK-30M12 and the HLK10M05.

For both parts I have altered all .SVG files to a level I think it must be OK now. Can you please check them with your script. As it is not a daily thing for me, I should be fine if one of you can check the files for me. Afterwards I can share them with the rest of the world! :wink:
Many thanks in advance for your efforts!!

@Jaapio1969 I’m busy trying to sort out some major error core parts in Fritzing, so I’m busy. @vanepp Can you help me

In the fritzing-parts repo:

A correct version of the HLK-10M05 is available here:

(before making new parts always do a google search of the form “fritzing part HLK-10M05”)

I’ll look over your HLK-30M12C part and correct it as needed.

edit:

OK a number of corrections starting with breadboard
The output pin numbers are backwards connector2 wants to be on the bottom and connector3 on the top (the same format as an IC) so the two right pins need to swap pin numbers.

capture
capture1437×1005 192 KB

you are missing a layerId which will cause the part to not export as an image (and get questions as to why that is!)

capture1
capture11440×1009 206 KB

from the data sheet

capture4
capture4811×667 31.8 KB

the breadboard image is the wrong size and the pins are in the wrong position (both are supposed to reflect real life)

capture2
capture21435×833 188 KB

from the data sheet I set construction lines (after resizing the rectangle to the correct size) to mark the position of the pins then moved them to where they should be.

capture3
capture31431×1027 181 KB

Then I did an Edit->select all an Edit->Resize page to selection and Object->group and named the group breadboard (which is what it is called in the .fzp file) then saved the corrected svg.

capture5
capture51425×1031 260 KB

schematic has a number of problems

capture6
capture61484×993 183 KB

It doesn’t have the correct scale nor the correct colors or font sizes. Rather than try and fix it I chose to make a new schematic using Randy’s Inkscape fritzing schematic extension

capture7
capture71412×807 102 KB

capture8
capture81428×992 129 KB

capture9

capture10
capture101087×933 107 KB

then the last 2 pins

capture11
capture111429×989 118 KB

and hit finished and it creates the new svg at the correct scale with the correct layerId

capture12
capture121473×993 180 KB

however the pins are slightly offset so ungroup the svg and then move the pins in to a better position and then regroup the svg and set the layerId again

capture13
capture131430×988 173 KB

then save the svg and move on to pcb there are a couple of problems here, the pin numbers need to be corrected to reflect the numbers used in breadboard and schematic, and the pins need to be circles (not ellipses as they are now, ellipses will not generate a hole in the gerber output!)

capture14
capture141430×995 183 KB

the easiest way to correct the radius is set both 4x and ry in xml editor to the same value (I used a radius of 29 which will give a 0.038 hole suitable for a 0.1in header)

capture15
capture151417×994 175 KB

then move the pad on space left then one space right to put it back in the same position it was. Inkscape recognizes that the ellipse has changed to a circle and replaces rx and ry with r=29 which along with a stroke-width of 20 will produce the correct hole size like this

capture16
capture161422×987 168 KB

next we need to change the stroke-width of the silkscreen rectangle to 10 (to make it 10thou inches which is the standard silkscreen line size.)

capture18
capture181427×984 181 KB

That changes the size of the rectangle slightly so we need to first correct that

capture19
capture191435×992 174 KB

then change the width and height to match the data sheet then set up the construction lines to correctly move the pads in the correct position (they were already in the correct position before I changed the rectangle size, so the entire group only needed to be moved to the correct new position.)

capture20
capture201434×985 134 KB

re doing the groups creates the completed pcb svg which can now be saved.

  <description>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"&gt;
&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /&gt;&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
&lt;/style&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body style=" font-family:'.SF NS Text'; font-size:13pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;"&gt;
&lt;p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"&gt;AC-DC 220V to 12V Step-Down Power Supply Module&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</description>

reused the breadboard svg as the icon svg (to save file space)

    <iconView>
      <layers image="breadboard/HLK-30M12C_c18aaf9a40156747a68f55b2d8d3cadb_2_breadboard.svg">
        <layer layerId="icon"/>
      </layers>
    </iconView>

then changed the description and name fields in connectors2 and connector3 to reflect the new order of the two pins by reversing connectors 2 and 3.

    <connector id="connector2" name="+Vo" type="male">
      <description>+V Out</description>
      <views>
        <breadboardView>
          <p layer="breadboard" svgId="connector2pin"/>
        </breadboardView>
        <schematicView>
          <p layer="schematic" svgId="connector2pin" terminalId="connector2terminal"/>
        </schematicView>
        <pcbView>
          <p layer="copper0" svgId="connector2pin"/>
          <p layer="copper1" svgId="connector2pin"/>
        </pcbView>
      </views>
    </connector>
    <connector id="connector3" name="-Vo" type="male">
      <description>-V Out</description>
      <views>
        <breadboardView>
          <p layer="breadboard" svgId="connector3pin"/>
        </breadboardView>
        <schematicView>
          <p layer="schematic" svgId="connector3pin" terminalId="connector3terminal"/>
        </schematicView>
        <pcbView>
          <p layer="copper0" svgId="connector3pin"/>
          <p layer="copper1" svgId="connector3pin"/>
        </pcbView>
      </views>
    </connector>

then corrected the url field to point to the datasheet for this part

  <url>https://www.lcsc.com/datasheet/lcsc_datasheet_2409141607_HI-LINK-HLK-30M12_C2761166.pdf</url>

which creates this corrected part.

HLK-30M12C-fixed.fzpz (7.1 KB)

which should do what you want.

I think we may need some more information to actually use this. I tried to run it after downloading all the py files that seemed to be needed by fzp_checker_runner.py and I assume I got them all because it so far hasn’t complained after I added the python3 definition. By default I think cygwin runs python 2.something and it looks like the import command has changed between python2 and python3

$ fzp_checker_runner.py
/usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 1: from: command not found
/usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 2: from: command not found
/usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 3: from: command not found
/usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 4: from: command not found
/usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 5: import: command not found
/usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 7: class: command not found
/usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token (' /usr/local/bin/fzp_checker_runner.py: line 8: def init(self, path, verbose=False):’

Assuming it defaulted to python 2.x I added

#!/usr/bin/env python3

to fzp_checker_runner.py

with that in place it appears to run

$ fzp_checker_runner.py
usage: usage: fzp_checker_runner.py
[-c [{all,missing_tags,connector_terminal,connector_visibility,pcb_connector_stroke,font_size,viewbox,ids} …]]
[-s SVG] [-f FILE] [-v] [-h]
path

Scan FZP files for various checks

positional arguments:
path Path to FZP file or directory to scan

optional arguments:
-c [{all,missing_tags,connector_terminal,connector_visibility,pcb_connector_stroke,font_size,viewbox,ids} …], --checks [{all,missing_tags,connector_terminal,connector_visibility,pcb_connector_stroke,font_size,viewbox,ids} …]
Type(s) of check to run (default: all)
-s SVG, --svg SVG Path to an SVG file to search for in FZP files
-f FILE, --file FILE Path to a file containing a list of SVG and FZP files
to check
-v, --verbose Enable verbose output
-h, --help Show this help message and exit
fzp_checker_runner.py: error: the following arguments are required: path

I may just be missing an option that I should be including so I will continue poking at it (with the intent of switching to this from FritzingCheckPart.py)

when run with an fzp file as an argument it does this:

$ fzp_checker_runner.py part.prefix0000_2831a6f19938d01c8f6d8eccfc7a7e54_1.fzp

which as noted may be due to operator error since I don’t know what I am doing yet. It may just need a copy of the the parts directory in the same directory I am running from I expect since it looks to be looking for something in core parts. Doesn’t look like the parts directory will help. The referenced file isn’t in core parts for 1.0.5 only prefix0000_1.svg and prefix0000_SFE-10467-v10_2.svg neither of which are what it is looking for. I guess it may not support fzpz type file format and needs repository format.
