What is Fritzing?
Fritzing is an open-source hardware initiative that makes electronics accessible as creative material for anyone. It is open-source EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software for people who are not engineers, a perfect tool for designers, inventors, hobbyists and educators to create a prototype or even make PCBs. Apart from being a software tool, it’s also a community, and a services provider in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, fostering a creative ecosystem that allows users to document their prototypes, share them with others, and teach electronics in classrooms.
