Problem creating a component

[JulMars10]

Hello,
I created an svg file of a DS1307 RTC but when I import it into Fritzing it shows me this error. Could you help me?

There is something wrong with the breadboard svg file. Upload the .fzpz file of the broken part (upload is 7th icon from the left in the reply menu) and I will tell you what is wrong with it. If you don’t have a .fzpz file (which you may not given the part won’t load) upload the breadboard svg file you have created (upload will also accept svg files as long as they are svg files!)

Hello Pierre,
Thank you for your reply, but it still shows an error.
Do you have the .fzpz file for the DS1307 RTC?

[vanepp]

No I don’t have and there doesn’t appear to be a part for the DS1307 (there is an adafruit version, I don’t know if it is identical to this, in the Adafruit fritzing repository on github.) The problem with your svg (and why it won’t load) is that it lacks any size information.

This is your svg displayed in Inkscape:

A correct breadboard svg looks like this:

Note the height and width (specified in inches or mm!) is needed so that Fritzing knows the real world size of the svg (px of no dimensions (which is the same as px) will cause scaling problems in Fritzing with modern Inkscapes.) Correcting that should enable your svg to load. You would then need to set connector numbers for each of the pins using parts editor (but that requires the correct number of pins in the .fzp file first as Parts editor can’t modify .fzp files at this time.) Here is a corrected version of your svg (although I don’t know if it is the correct size, you need to check the size of the module matches the module you have):

This is set to the correct scale for Fritzing and dimensioned in inches.

(to download the svg, right click on it and select “save image as”)

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…

I lately learned there aren’t links to the videos in Old_Grey’s tutorial so you need to do a google search for the title and then they come up on YouTube.

Okay, thank you very much.

[vanepp]

If you want me to make a part I can, but I would need the web site of the board you have. I can’t find any board that matches your image to get its size and connections.

Hello Peter,
Here are the dimensions: 4cm wide and 2.5cm high. The connectors are GND; VCC; SA; SCL; SQW.

This part should do what you want.
