Working on the prototype of one of the new Bike Pixel model, I’ve started to miss a benchtop power supply. They are devices that provide us with a regulated DC voltage and current. This makes them ideal for testing prototype designs or new components. It is one of the tools that should be present in any electronics workshop.
Fritzing is one of the best circuit design and documentation tools. It has a large component base and there are many community-created parts. Even so, sometimes we will not have available some of the ones we want to integrate in our projects. In these cases, creating our own custom parts for Fritzing allows us to add new components based on our own designs.
Right now I’m working on the design of the front version of Bike Pixel. During its design I used several new components such as vertical touch buttons. These are not available in the application and therefore I had to create my own components. Their diagram is shown in the following image:
