In Fritzing’s code view, you can even write your Arduino code and upload directly to your microcontroller, making it a one-stop software package for makers.Įven better is that Fritzing comes with over 50 example Arduino shields, so if you don’t know anything about designing a circuit, it’s easy to follow their lead and quickly create, or modify, a board that you can mill out on the milling machine and populate with parts found in a typical Arduino starter kit. Its four views allow you to build your breadboard prototype, turn it into a schematic, lay it out as a PCB board, and quickly export to Gerber files that can be cut on the milling machine. What is Fritzing?įritzing is a free, open-source electronic design software package for makers and hobbyists that enables you to go from a physical breadboard prototype to a milled board on your milling machine, without the steep learning curve of other PCB design software packages.

This guide teaches you how to design a PCB in Fritzing and export Gerber files that can be cut on your Bantam Tools Milling Machine.
