Not shown in this shot is the end of the tester which has a number of connectors that are similar to a digital sidecar where PWM cables can be connected. There are connectors for PWM signals, digital I/O, encoders, analog sensors, I2C, and Spike relays. Most of them can act as inputs or outputs.
You connect to a device that you want to test to see if it is producing output, or a device that you want to control, and select the menu you want on the front screen. Once you select the test program you want, you use the front panel buttons or a control knob to operate the tester.
There is already another thread for this device,
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...hreadid=121607 and we are working to get information up on our website,
http://chsrobotics.org We have a prototype board layout which we will rev soon, and the software is being refined right now. We are thinking of selling either the complete tester or kits sometime soon, but do not know how many boards to order. Our team has very limited resources so our coach only wants to buy parts to make about 20 of them for now.
We also plan to make the schematic and code available for download once we get it finalized in case others want to build their own without purchasing a kit from us, or to make changes to a tester they did buy. It uses the same processor as the Arduino Uno so you have an Arduino or an FTDI programming cable, you can easily modify the program.
