Wer sind wir? Fritzing ist ein Ökosystem aus Tools, Services und Lernmaterial, das Interessierten hilft, interaktive elektronische Projekte umzusetzen. Fertige Projekte können auf unserer Internetseite ausgestellt werden und zeigen, was möglich ist. Die Fritzing Kits bieten Sammlungen von Bauteilen und Projektvorschlägen für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene und unsere Videotutorials erklären Schritt für Schritt den Umgang mit den Tools. Die freie Software Fritzing überführt die Projektideen in wirkliche Produkte, die wiederum bei uns bestellt werden können.

Fritzing ist ein Geschäftsbereich der IXDS GmbH.

Calandria is the winner of the Fritzing Goodie Contest!

Finally, the last parts arrived today in the morning. I soldered all goodie contest finalists and tried them out.

Calandria is actually a synthesizer. Two potentiometers are influencing via a LED and light depending resistor a the outputted bird like sound. In the end the PCB size, number of components and cuteness of the product were the winning properties.

Congratulations to the other two finalists, too. Both projects are quiet amazing:

Touch my piano is sounding pretty cool, like if you would play on an old saw. It is fun and I caught myself not being able to stop. The imperial march was sounding fantastic, even if Jonathan couldn’t hear, what I was playing ;)

The Fritzing Amplifier is like a module, extending the abilities of (e.g.) the Arduino Board. It amplifies the output to drive a real 8Ohm speaker and the outputted sound has a much higher quality. If you ask me, each Arduino-Kit should contain it.

Thank you all participants for your great ideas and keep on making!

Yours sincerely,

Stefan”

The PCBs arrived from Fritzing Fab and looking beautiful. We made some slight changes to reduce e.g. the size. Now we impatiently are waiting for the last parts to arrive. We keep you up to date!

Wohoo! We are getting so much requests for the Fritzing Creator Kit in English! That’s so cool and for all you guys waiting for the release I can tell you that it will be late September.

Please be patient.  Good news for people from the Land of Champagne: The new Fritzing Creator Kit will be released in French, too! Same promise: late September :)

We had the chance and pleasure of participating in the first MakerFaire in Germany last weekend in Hannover. It was a great chance to meet many of our users who don’t live in Berlin, also many old friends, and we also made some new friends.

We were also very excited to introduce and sell the first Fritzing Creator Kits at the MakerFaire and notice how people positively welcomed, even though there were many other kits for sale.

Below are some photos and impressions of the weekend:

Daniel and me behind the stand in our brand new kickass Fritzing t-shirts (notice the new logo).

Another angle including our homemade monster LED Matrix. - boy do we look proud :D -

Here is the first ever proud owner of the Creator kit. -he got a very special loving autograph- This one sale is very special to me: the older sister promised me that she would show her little brother how to “play” with Roboter and Dinosaurier. She’s a little ladyada!

It was really sweet to see this teenager explain to her father what Arduino is and what’s possible to do with it.

Father and son also bought this kit for the rainy weekends.

And this couple too. They said they were both curious about electronics and that they will explore this field together following the book.Jonathan, our senior developer was very glad to meet Fritzing users and eager to explain to them the individual projects you can build with the creator kit.

It was a great event, we will do it again every possible time!

PS: if you were there and you took nice photos of us, please send them to our email address or post them on the forum, and thank you we love you too.
