Hi im looking for a software that I could use to draw my driagrams just like shown in the picture, I already tried fritzing but it does not have built in or an
y downloadables .fzb parts on the internet that I need (specifically the L298D), I am aware I could make one without the IC but for sharing purposes I must use the one with the motor shield driver, thankyou in advance.
Don't spend time on it. It's the same bad as Fritzing. Showing the fysical shape of boards and devices adds no useful information.
Pin names are missing...
This is the closest way to the correct way to create electronic diagrams.
So I recommend that you learn how to do it.
There are several software programs and also free websites for this purpose.
For software, I use Kicad and for online I use EasyEDA.com.

I use a general purpose drawing package called MacDraft. However, there are free ones like Inkscape. You can build up a libiary of symbols so there is no need to draw them every time you draw a diagram.
The big advantage is that you can use real symbols and you can label the pin out from all ICs in any order. The advantage of this is that it can make the wiring a lot less complicated.
This is an example of what I can produce with this system.
This uses busses, the thick lines, to make the schematic super clear. There are a minimum number of crossing wires.
This is what the modestly named "Very Best" PCB layout software could do, which 15 years ago was about $32,000.00 a seat, per year.

Idk... I just wanted to create the diagram of the robot that fried my arduino to see where I went wrong or ask where I went wrong.
I see.. : ) will work more on these type of diagrams more as I progress
that looks cleannn. it'll be nice if these diagram can simulate the current and voltages :,( (as of now I just fried 2 of my arduinos)
hmm i see.. will work on it as I progress!
If you just need to show your diagram here then you can just use a pencil and a piece of paper to draw a schematic. Make sure everything is labelled. That will probably get you there quicker unless it is a really complicated circuit.

ooh okay thanks! i'll do that instead🙏🏻
