It is still possible to change the attributes with inspector so you can't get back to a rectangular led without deleting it, but if you stick to changing to a rect_color, you can at least change the colors in Inspector. rect_red) to get it to select the rectangular led package. 1 spacing just like the real LED though.Įdit: As usual has the answer: I had to change the colors to rect_ color (i.e. They are 2mm wide and thus will fit (with a bit of space between) on. 3 in centers and can thus be put from a power bus to the breadboard rows or in the center of the breadboard to span the two rows. So there are 6 parts for one version of each color (core has 3 or so for each color). The colors aren't changeable as the core parts are because Fritzing changes to the round led layout when anything changes, and I think a code change would be needed to change that. This came about because someone wanted stackable LEDs for an instructable and was having problems with wires overlaying the LEDs.
These differ mostly in size (closer to the breadboard) and connections (one lead on the top and bottom of the LED). Connections are not made in the breadboard view by ending a wire on top of the middle of another wire. Connecting to the pins on the breadboard itself is more usual, and matches the normal way to breadboard the circuit.
Here are another set of rectangular LEDs similar to the set by Old_Grey. All but the 5V power and (one) ground wires to the nano are shown connecting directly to the pin on the nano.
