Components

The component I want to suggest here is to add fritzing a feature that can do auto-wiring in breadboard prototyping. This is very helpful for users who is still learning and have difficulties in wiring the components in breadboard. Also, it helps user to simplify their work in breadboard prototyping.

What I like in Fritzing is that it almost have the function that I want to visualize my circuit. It has PCB design feature which is useful when layout the PCB. There are lot of design software that offers schematic and PCB design, but, Frizing offers not only these. It has a breadboard prototyping feature which is not available in most design software.

Proposal

My concern about this software is in its breadboard prototype feature. Some users have difficulties in how they make their wiring looks good and with less entangle. Breadboard prototyping is crucial because this will serves as a guide to construct our circuit in breadboard and do actual testing of circuit design.

What I am proposing here is to add this feature or function:

It is a feature that the user can use to auto-wire his/her circuit in breadboard prototyping.

Mockups / Examples

If the suggestion will be implemented, this is how it will work.

To use this function, the user must create a schematic diagram. The connection in schematic diagram will serve as the trail for the auto-wiring. For example, this is the circuit we use in breadboard prototype.

After that, user will place and arrange the component in breadboard prototype to prepare for wiring.

Without using the auto-wire function, user will wire the component manually which sometimes confuses due to the complex wiring of the circuit design.

If the auto-wiring function is used, the software will automatically find the route where to wire the component. And this is the result.

Benefits

Here are the benefits if suggestion will be implemented.

  1. Users will have the option to wire manually or let the software do the wiring.
  2. Give ease to users who have difficulty in wiring and arranging the wires.
  3. Help users to simplify their work.
