A popular tool among the maker community is Fritzing, which allows users to diagram project models for review and troubleshooting. It's a reasonable tool for sharing your projects with others so they can see your wiring and all the materials needed to complete it.

Download and Run

You can download Fritzing from their website here. Select Linux and then choose 64 or 32 bit, depending on your system. Once you've downloaded it, you can extract the files. Head into the directory where you downloaded the tar ball to and extract it like so:

$ cd ~/Downloads 
$ tar -xvf [downloaded tar ball]
$ cd [extracted directory]
$ ./Fritzing

And the program will load and start up.

Import MinnowBoard

To use the MinnowBoard in Fritzing, you'll need the board file, which can be found here: File:Fritzing Archive.zip. Click on the filename near the top of the page again to download.
