Fritzing 1.0.4 released

Fritzing 1.0.4 is a maintenance release. It has been tested on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS Ventura, macOS Monterey, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, and Ubuntu 24.04. What is new UX: QFN support and working with tiny structures in the PCB was vastly improved. We changed the algorithm that decides which element will receive a mouse click. Ratsnest lines now stay the same size when zooming in. The hitbox size of wires and traces now depends on the wire diameter. These two images show a PCB at 3000% zoom. The copper traces are 0.2mm (8mil) wide. Working at this scale was...

BML FPGA Design Tutorial Part-16ofN : Test Benches

2024.09.29 : I’m BSEE Kevin Hubbard from Seattle, WA. I design digital logic circuits. My journey started more than 40 years ago designing digital circuit boards. My first was a simple 5V TTL logic plug-in expansion board for my 8-bit Apple ][+ computer as a teenager in the 1980’s. In the 1990’s I eventually transitioned ( and got paid! ) to design chips – PALs, CPLDs, early sub-micron (350nm) FPGAs and eventually digital ASICs (250nm, 180nm ) during the LSI Logic heyday years of late 1990’s to early 2000’s.

I have circled back to FPGAs these days, but now deep sub-micron...
