How to Post Diagrams and Schematics?

jw0752
jw0752 over 11 years ago

Whenever I  the need to add a diagram or schematic to my posts on the forum I have to hand draw the diagram, scan it into the computer as a  .jpg and then insert it into my post. I have noticed that there seem to be better ways to accomplish this. I would really appreciate some suggestions on how to draw and post diagrams and schematics. For example I have seen where the diagram appears as a clickable thumbnail. Also is there a better basic schematic CAD program to for use in this application. The program that I use to draw schematics works fine but the finished schematic is not transferable to a .doc or .txt format and can only be read by that specific program.

Thanks John

    Hi Victor, Thanks for the good suggestions. I will check it out. I have a Digikey account so will look at theirs. By the way I really enjoyed your interview with Element-14 for their anniversary. It is…

    Allot of people use FRITZING Fritzing Fritzing as this allows you to draw diagrams for breadboards as well as produce a schematic like view for example this:

     

    The site seems to be having a problem with images right now so im simply linking in the URL to them

     

    http://www.element14.com/community/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-16055-198231/1168-900/Lesson+4_bb.png

     

    and this

     

    http://www.element14.com/community/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-16055-198232/Lesson+4_schem.png

     

    these are both from one of my Arduino Video Tutorials on this forum and created using FRITZING, it is free and great if you do allot of your hobby using breadboards, it will even create a PCB layout if you want to.

     

    and if those views dont work, here is the post with them in

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Peter, This is the kind of information that will be very helpful. I will start to familiarize myself with Fritzing.
