Solution
Use the
Upverter schematic-file-converter
Python script. For example, suppose that you
want to convert the Fritzing file for the diagram shown in
Figure 9-9
. First, install Upverter.
I found it necessary to install
libfreetype6
and
freetype-py
onto my system, but
you might not need this first step:
host$
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6

Now, install the
schematic-file-converter
tool:

git clone git@github.com:upverter/schematic-file-converter.git
