Customer:

I wanted to ask if you could confirm receipt of my shipment with two modules. Also, could you let me know if you have used Fritzing for PCB design, and if so, what your experience has been with it?

Samo bih vas molio ako mi možete potvrditi zaprimanje moje pošiljke s dva modula. Također ako mi možete javiti da li ste koristili „Fritzing Fag“ paket za dizajniranje PCBova, te ako jeste kakva su vam iskustva.

Puno vam hvala unaprijed!

We received your shipment back.

Regarding Fritzing as a PCB design package, I honestly cannot recommend it. Fritzing is primarily a package for graphical display of schematics in education, and PCB design is done somewhat “on the side” - in my opinion.

If you are making PCBs for anything somewhat serious or professional, I recommend one of these programs: Eagle or KiCad.

hvala Vam, vratila nam se Vaša pošiljka.

Fritzing kao paket za dizajniranje PCBova vrlo iskreno ne preporučam :slight_smile: Fritzing je više paket za grafički prikaz shema u edukaciji, a PCB je napravljen onako “usput” - po mom mišljenju.
(Fritzing fab je samo prateća usluga za proizvodnju PCBova dizajniranih u Fritzingu)

Ako se PCB izrađujete za nešto iole ozbiljno/profesionalno, preporučam neki od programa: Eagle ili KiCad.
