My wish list

Guys let me say that for an alpha this is some cool work. I've only started playing with it abut I'd like to know how do I create my own objects to add to the library? Most of my wish list revolves around an expanded library of parts

On the down side, the program is somewhat slow on a P4 2.8GHz 1GB Ram.

Thanks for sharing,

Jay

Hi Jay,

there is a first part creation tutorial in the learning section, which explains the basic steps. The last step about creating the Eagle footprint is in the works. Also nearing completion is a part development kit containing graphics and a script for making ICs.

What parts do you intend to make? If you think they might be valuable for the core library, we could discuss the design to make sure that it fits the Fritzing style.

Thanks for noting the downsides, too! We are aware that it can be slow, especially when the Breadboard is involved. I just updated the Troubleshooting page to include some hints.

Wow! Ok I've read the tutorial and will follow along to make the diode. My intent is to flesh out some of the AVRs I like to use. The Tiny13, Tiny861, and the Mega168. The process looks a bit involved, so we'll see for the 2-pin diode goes before I make any promises

These are perfect candidates for the PDK (Part Development Kit) that is coming up. It contains a simple script that completely auto-generates any standard IC. That way you don't need to get into the gory details.

The current version in SVN is working already, it is just missing the footprints required for Eagle. If you feel that's enough please go ahead and try it out, otherwise you have to wait a few more days until it's ready.
