Electronic Component Tester

Abstract

The component tester used to check if electronic components used in projects are functional or not. This project used small and low-cost components to build a system that detects the defected components in laboratories and electronics shops. It consists of PC application, USB Cable, Arduino Mega 2560, sockets and PCB board. The component tester is built by connecting Arduino Mega microcontroller with components sockets, each component has a special socket to test it on board, the PC application is connected to Arduino Mega via USB cable to make it work as the interface allowing user to choose specific component and show the user the steps to connect a component to the tester and show the result of testing. At the end of the project, it has achieved all its objectives and implement components tester based on Arduino Mega, using PC application as interfaces to provide the easiest environment for the user and giving the opportunity to choose specific components to test, also it is expected to produced a business product that can be supplied to electronic stores and electrical/electronic labs in universities.
