[waveshare] solar power management module (D)

[MrBigsEnergyDrink]

I have solar power management module on my project circuit and I didn’t found it in Fritzing can you please help me with this.THANKS

I’ll now create the part.

Update1: done with breadboard view

Update2: done with schematic view

OK, I can’t finish the part. Can someone help me? (the following attatchment is not the finalized part)

Note that you can’t load this part into fritzing as I’m not done with the .fzp file. I also have not added the schematic view into the part yet (the new parts editor has been screwing up on me recently)

@RAPTOR7762

I also have not added the schematic view into the part yet (the new parts editor has been screwing up on me recently)

That is a good reason to learn to modify the files directly and not use parts editor …

Thank you very much for the help. I was having a hard time modifying the diagram and this is a great improvement.

OK here are the corrections to your part.

breadboard

First rescale it correctly

then move the connectors to the bottom and place them in the correct order. They should start with connector0 on the top left (in this case there is no connection there and thus it starts on bottom left) which will change the connector pin numbers.

Then correct the spacing on the 2mm connector to be 2mm in fact. Start with the fitst connector

pin2 (connector1pin) should be exactly 2mm (as it is in real life) from pin1 (connector0pin)

so correct that for all 4 pins.

Then renumber the pins (since I moved them to the bottom of the svg I used the setbb.py script to do that)

then delete schematic entirely and redo it using Randy’s script (always worth doing as many core parts have bad schematics as in this case!)

which results in a new schematic like this

Now on to the .fzp file

first add a fritzing version to the first line so we know what version this was tested on.

<module moduleId="WaveshareSolarPowerManager(D)_78f4c56df66a7c90780dcf3c98370e0e_8" referenceFile="generic_ic_dip_10_300mil.fzp" fritzingVersion="1.0.4">

then add a description from the data sheet

  <description>This solar power management module is designed for 6V~24V solar panels. It can charge the 3.7V rechargeable Li battery through a solar panel or Type-C connector and provides 5V/3A regulated output (supports multiple protocols such as PD/QC/FCP/PE/SFCP).</description>

replace the icon file (which parts editor copied from breadboard, one more reason to not use parts editor) to save some space.

    <iconView>
      <layers image="breadboard/WaveshareSolarPowerManager(D)_0fcb28daaa40ecdd54689cfad9d24b25_1_breadboard.svg">
        <layer layerId="icon"/>
      </layers>

Then remove the breadboard terminalId that comes from the generic IC but is useless from all the pins.

  <connectors>
    <connector id="connector0" name="Pin 1" type="male">
      <description>BAT-</description>
      <views>
        <breadboardView>
          <p layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin" terminalId="connector0terminal"/>
        </breadboardView>

to

  <connectors>
    <connector id="connector0" name="Pin 1" type="male">
      <description>BAT-</description>
      <views>
        <breadboardView>
          <p layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin"/>
        </breadboardView>

for all the pins. Then fix up the bus definitions by adding names and in the case of GND more connectors

  <buses>
    <bus id="GND">
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector0"/>
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector1"/>
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector4"/>
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector6"/>
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector8"/>
    </bus>
    <bus id="BAT+">
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector2"/>
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector3"/>
      <nodeMember connectorId="connector5"/>
    </bus>
  </buses>

which results in this fixed part which should do what @MrBigsEnergyDrink wants

[MrBigsEnergyDrink]

thank you very much for the help you have given me, I have modified the diagram but in a precarious way, it is not an excuse but I started yesterday with fritzing and I am learning to modify these schemes, again thank you very much.

If you want to make parts these two tutorials will help, but as you are undoubtedly finding it is complex.

A new part creation HowTo (long! So long it is in 2 posts)

(Edit: November 2016: This is an updated (and corrected) version of the original parts creation howto. This version corrects some suggestions (mostly saving Inkscape files as optimized svg which turns out to cause other problems) with the first version and expands the section on parts testing. While there doesn’t appear to be a lot of interest in this subject I’ll make at least this update so the information is as correct as I can get it.) This is a description of how I made the Valor PM6078-00…

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.
