cabletester

Cable tester – This MCU board uses 3 RPi Picos to create enough connections to connect to all of the pins being tested.

Using this unit with unprogrammed Picos would be a good programming assignment at 2nd year University level. You just need a few good and a few faulty cables to test success of the project. Typically paging of the screen would be required to list unconnected pins and crossed wires.

Microtron is open to negotiation about a project for this development. The key aspects of such a project would likely be:

• Designing a box with graphics.
• There is an option to further program the unit with a larger 3.3V I2C screen.
• There is an option to place all of the controls, power supply socket and connections on the outside of an engineered box.

I some sense this project would involve finishing a product for market. It could possibly be marketed in a basic kit set form and in a nicely finished form.

• MCU units with sensors and datalogging.
• Break out boards with user interface. Suitable for datalogging and interactive function including stepper motors.
• Break out board customizations. Sensors, stepper motors, WiFi, SD cards and Fram.
• Design of circuit boards, including design of circuit boards that are a customization of a break out board pilot project.
• WiFi and server collection of data.
