Has anyone considered building a PC-based or arduino-based board tester?
I'm visualizing a circuit board with USB on end to plug into the PC, and a bunch of harnesses to connect the board being tested.
For example, lets say you're testing a Bally MPU board.
Plug the board into the harnesses on the tester, plug in the USB port to the PC, and hit GO on the screen which initiates a voltage check, logic check, yes/no test, etc... to/from all of the necessary pins.
Obviously you'd need a power supply to give the correct voltages to power the board.
But having the ability to print out a list of bad or out of spec components would be awesome.
Each board would have its own profile in the software for testing.
