There are problems, but there is hope:, one of the developers of Fritzing and the president of the PCB firm Aisler which runs the Fritzing Fab, recently gave a talk at FOSDEM concerning the future of Fritzing. You can’t register on the site, you can’t update parts, the official site lacks HTTPS, the Twitter account has been inactive for 1,200 days, there have been no blog posts for a year, and the last commit to GitHub was on March 13th. The project is giving every appearance of having died.
However, and there’s always a however, Fritzing is in trouble. Open up a book on electronics from O’Reilly, and you’ll probably see a schematic or drawing created in Fritzing. Fritzing has been the subject of books, lectures, and educational courses, and the impact of Fritzing has been huge. Over the years, we’ve seen fantastic projects built with Fritzing.
Fritzing is a very nice Open Source design tool for PCBs, electrical sketches, and schematics for designers and artists to move from a prototype to real hardware.
