Has anyone tried Fritzing? http://fritzing.org/ I have tried it, but am a
n00b, so I'm not sure if my issues are me or Fritzing or a combo.  I wanted
to do Arduino as well as a solar tracker (kind of an H bridge without  any
microcontroller -
http://solartracker.greenwatts.info/solar_tracker_LM339_schematic.htm )
stuff, and the PicAxe version I looked at didn't seem to support anything
but PicAxe.
 
A note from Fritzing. Every Fritzing Part must have 3 different graphics for
each of the 3 different views (Breadboard, Schematic and PCB), plus an icon
for the parts bin. SVG, PNG and JPEG formats are supported (except for the
part's pcb graphic which must be an SVG for the gerber files export to work
well).
 
if you have used it or have looked at it, how does it compare with the
PicAxe or other software commented on in the last few days.
 
thanks,
 
Chuck Merja
