about wires, layout modi and emulation

Well, tried more with Frizing and found that putting wires is important for the workflow. I like the posibitlies of selecting two pins to wire out of a list, also  putting a direct wire with drag and drop. I also like kind of "polygon-tool" like in Photoshop. I think also parallel circuits will be more easy to realize! This took too much time in the modelling process. I see two modi of layout! One that uses free-wire-connection (like it is now) and another that uses this circuit testing bord - (development is going in this direction - picture on the website?). I often uses free-wire-connections, so Fritzing can also be a kind of scetch for my plans - and also a way to translate my free-wire-connected ideas into a "real" circuit. I think both methods are nice and usable and needed. Well last thing is a kind of wish(?). Are there plans  for doing software emulation of the chip to let run c-programms in Fritzing? I think this is a very powerful option. Ciao

Thanks for the comments.  The behavior of wires (like everything else) is evolving, but even as we move towards having a breadboard model, free-wire connections will likely still be supported.  It is definitely true that for some circuits and situations free-wire drawings give a better representation.

To answer your questions about doing software simulation of the Arduino or other components; this has come up a few times regarding being able to simulate either the entire circuit or just the Arduino portion.  We feel it would be a helpful tool in some cases, but are focusing first on circuit and PCB design. 

We would be happy to talk to anyone interested in integrating simulation and test functions with Fritzing - we just don't have the expertise to develop simulation tools.
