It’s exactly what you need if you want to create pixel art quickly with a tool that’s easy to use. With MS Paint, you can edit individual pixels, select colors, and even do flood fills. If you’re like the majority of desktop or laptop users, the easiest tool to make pixel art is Microsoft Paint. For a PCB design tool, it’s a baffling decision, and I don’t know if I can call Fritzing a PCB design tool now. You cannot create a completely new part in Fritzing. That last part - making a new symbol and footprint - is a point of contention for Fritzing users. I recreate the schematic, recreate the board, and build a new symbol and footprint in each piece of software. For each post in this series, I will take a reference schematic for a small, USB-enabled ATtiny85 development board.
The introduction to this series of posts laid it out pretty bare. Fritzing is a terrible tool that you should not use, but before I get to that, I need to back up and explain what this series of posts is all about. One of the more controversial of these tutorials was my post on Fritzing. Already, we’ve looked at Eagle CAD, KiCad, and took a walk down memory lane with one of the first PCB design tools for the IBM PC with Protel Autotrax. This is the continuation of a series of posts where I create a schematic and PCB in various EDA tools.
