Hello,

Hey, Jason - your reference to the Engineer's Notebook (re: elciot18 / ale) really hit a chord with me as I've thought about an electronics blog inspired by it but updated to 3.3V and 1.8V logic and other things. I haven't had bandwidth to work on it until lately, and of course, other things are starting to hop now, too!

I need a really simple schematics editor, and an upgrade path after I hit its limits.

Do you or anyone have any suggestions? I might just use a stylus on my 2in1 laptop, but it would be nice to work at a slightly higher level!

Thanks,
Fred

There's not much simpler than Fritzing.

 

Thanks,
Fred

After many years looking for something both functional adn reasonably
easy to use I've settled on gschem which is part of geda.

Thanks - I've started trying fritzing. I haven't seen where the pocket beagle is in the core parts. Do I need to do something to install it?

I also have gEDA/gschem on my list.

Thanks!

Have you tried a search for "pocketbeagle" (I couldn't find it in the
core bin visually, but the search finds it).

If that doesn't find it, try "help/check for update".

Last ditch -- download the master list
https://github.com/fritzing/fritzing-parts

(The PocketBeagle does show in "core" at that site. If you need a BBB, try
installing https://github.com/adafruit/Fritzing-Library )
