GitHub - sparkfun/FritzingParts: This repo houses all of the SFE Fritzing parts for use in diagrams in tutorials. If you create a new part in Fritzing that correlates to an SFE part, please add it here so others may use it and to avoid duplication. I mention this because I wanted such a part and it took me a while to understand that I was trying to load the official repository (which was pointless because I already had it) and needed in fact to navigate to the forks in the top of the tool bar to the correct user’s fork of the main repository. This repo houses all of the SFE Fritzing parts for use in diagrams in tutorials. Note some of the contributed parts are in forks off the official repository, for them you have to select the appropriate fork on github and download from there. I believe you also need to create an xml file or something of that nature as well. Mine fit better, being sized to the exact parts I order. Right-click the panel and select 'Import' (see image above) Select LIDARLite-Fritzing-Part.fzpz and click 'Open'. Its a somewhat involved process, but not overly complex, provided you know how to use a vector art program (like inkscape or similar). In fact, I hardly use any stock symbols - even for the parts it has in its (limited) library. Step-by-Step Installation Instructions: Download this repository. When imported they will appear in the mine area of the parts window but are stored in your space and thus won’t overwrite the core parts.Īs well there is the parts submit portion of the forums here which also have parts you can download, but from the question I expect the part you want is on github so you need to download it from there and then import it. It might be best in this instance to learn how create your own part for importing.

For those parts you can down load them to your machine and then import them with file->open. Parts that are either waiting to be approved and installed are often on github but won’t yet automatically download and some folks have parts on github and haven’t requested they be included. Well the answer is yes and no parts that have been accepted into Fritzing are in the core library and will update in to your machine automatically.
