Hello, everyone!<\/p>\n

If you’ve had a chance to look at our Learn<\/a> site, you may have noticed a\u00a0that many of our images of breadboards feature a “Made in Fritzing” tag. So what exactly is Fritzing<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"f-scheme-big-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In their own words, “Fritzing is an\u00a0open-source hardware initiative that makes electronics accessible as a creative material for anyone. [They]\u00a0offer a software tool, a community website, and services in the spirit of processing, fostering a creative ecosystem that allows users to\u00a0document\u00a0their prototypes,\u00a0teach electronics in a classroom, and layout and manufacture\u00a0professional PCBs.”<\/p>\n

At Digilent, we use Fritzing to present educational concepts. A lot of our Learn projects feature Fritzing. A number of our parts (with more being added regularly) are in Fritzing Projects<\/a> (search for Digilent)\u00a0and in the user-created\u00a0parts repository<\/a>. From designing circuits to demonstrating new concepts, we use Fritzing for showing people what we’re working on. We also use some Fritzing graphics in our inventories for our Learn projects. (The one shown below is from a project<\/a> about debouncing circuits with libraries.)<\/p>\n

Both Fritzing and Digilent intend to continue to work together to fulfill our common educational missions and goals. \u00a0We would\u00a0both like\u00a0to see everyone learning how to use hardware and software to learn programming and to teach electronics.<\/p>\n

Check back over the next few weeks to see a couple more posts featuring Fritzing, including a tutorial or two!<\/p>\n
