I want to build a continuity tester that's fast, tiny, and can attach to a board I'm reversing so I don't need full multimeter when reversing boards away from a desk. The hardware files for this can be found on GitHub at sarahemm/continuity_tester.
Status
- 2018-01-11: Received PCBs and parts, started assembling.
- 2017-12-13: Completed PCB design, sent to OSH Park for manufacturing.
- 2017-12-11: Started putting idea together after spending lots of hours reversing for the DMS project. BOM and schematic done, PCB layout in progress.
Features
- Fast, latching to catch quick pulses as probe is dragged along multiple pins.
- Visual/audio switchable options
- Lasts a long time on a CR2032 or similar
- Clips or magnets to a board I'm working on to save having another thing to put somewhere.
Rev001 Issues
- Holes for jacks are way too small
- Footprint for trimmers fits, but is way way oversized
