Hi All, I wonder if someone can help… I am struggling with the parts editor, sometimes it opens, sometimes it doesn’t and I can never seem to achieve what I want to… More practice needed, I think.
However, I am working on a project and I need to get it done quite quickly and I need a part. Would someone be kind enough to help me please? I need to include a photo interrupter / optical switch and any help would be seriously appreciated. I have included a photo, but if you need more information, please let me know.

.These two tutorials on parts making may help (both apply to current Fritzing versions, many of the others are for older versions!)
NEW FASTER PART MAKING VIDEOS AT THE BOTTOM-Fritzing Parts Fast
ADVANCED FRITZING USER TIPS & TRICKS VIDEOS AT THE BOTTOM-Fritzing Adv Tips & Tricks
A series of part creation videos - I’m not an expert, but there was nothing else around at the time.
Use 1080p HD fullscreen to see details clearly - use gear symbol bottom right -.
Recorded slowly for older people, so select a higher speed if it’s too slow.
P.S. - Sorry about the voice/sound
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…
The images are pretty much unreadable. A web site that describes the part you want would likely be a better bet.
edit: a google search for photo interrupter module turned up a likely part in the images section so here is a part that should do.
