I've included the SVG images and png images to this step. Throughout this tutorial I will use the PmodENC, PmodBB, and chipKIT Pi as examples. I usually begin making my parts by starting with the SVG image for the breadboard view. You may also want to download Fritzing templates for the three views, although I will include files for all three views of the example part I create in this tutorial. Fritzing uses OCR A and Droid Sans, both of which can be found here. The last thing you need to do download is the Fritzing standard fonts.
I would recommend getting Inkscape and the 30 day free trial of Illustrator and testing them out before you decide to go for the purchase of Illustrator. The other option is to use Inkscape, which is free.įrom what I've experienced there are some compatibility issues between the two, but other than that people find one better than the other based on personal preference. If you'd like to try it for free you can always download the 30 day free trial.Ģ. I personally use Adobe Illustrator (Digilent has no affiliation with Adobe).
These images need to be exported into SVG format.ġ. In order to make your parts, you need to make the images for all three views: breadboard, schematic, and PCB. In addition to labelling the individual GPIO pins, GPIO Pinout is an interactive website that help you figure out which pin combinations to use for interacting with different hardware devices.The first piece of software you will need, is of course, Fritzing, which is free. In case you need it, here are some helpful GPIO resources that you can reference when you are connecting sensors to your Raspberry Pi 3 board. So how do you know which pins to connect your sensors to? Thankfully, there are several good resources that you can reference while connecting sensors to your Raspberry Pi 3 board. In case you are curious, this is how the GPIO pins looks like on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+:Īlthough there is the word GPIO on the circuit board that indicates what those pins are, there is no indication on what each individual pin does. Undeniably, the GPIO (general-purpose input/output) pins along the top edge of your Raspberry Pi 3 board is what makes it so useful for IOT projects.
