Our verdict
Fritzing is how many student project reports get their neat breadboard diagrams: you drag real-looking parts — Arduino, sensors, LEDs — onto a virtual breadboard, and it keeps schematic and PCB views in sync. Official installers are sold for a small contribution (from €8 as a 'Backer'), which funds development; the source code is open on GitHub. Fritzing 1.0.8 was released on 12 August 2026.
