Using Fritzing to share hardware designs

1

This might be something obvious for those that have been doing Arduino for some time (as they use it extensively), but If you are not aware, there is this very simple open source tool called Fritzing that allows you to do simple but effective wiring designs.

This is the one from the Heltec Lora32 v3 GPS:

I’ve written a little bit about this here: Preparations for Meshtastic portable node

I hope this becomes a useful tool for our community… I will try to collect all the parts into a meshtastic repository so anyone with it can have all of them in pone place.

The use of Fritzing certainly is helpful in expanding ones understanding of pin usage of boards and being able to expand capability with external modules (eg GPS)

For further DIY design members are using Online (pcb design and manufacturing) tools like easyeda
