Re: DIY Component Tester


 

Hi Arv, William

I mounted a component tester kit purchased from Ali for $ 14 and has many features. It is based on the library AVR Markus. Attached is a paper by Karl-Heinz Kubbeler "TransistorTester with AVR microcontroller and a little more
Version 1.13k "which is very interresting.
To see on the link?.

That post was a direct result of this morning's conversation with Hans (QRP-Labs).?
He has implemented some of the features, but not all.? We discussed methods and
other possible testing approaches.? That conversation was relative to the QSX
transceiver and what it might include.?

Use of a two-line display is limited but if a USB link to an attached PC the display
capability can be increased significantly.? Of course there are other small display
technologies that can be employed as well.?

Computer based testing can be simple or complex.? Faster processors allow more
testing in near real-time, but a lot can still be accomplished with the AVR/Arduino
boards.? Faster processors also allow some DSP-like signal analysis.

Good evening Arv

Hans (QRPLabs) did this with the QCX which includes his own test functions.
  • Built-in test signal generator and alignment tools to complete simple set-up adjustments
  • Built-in test equipment: voltmeter, RF power meter, frequency counter, signal generator
With the use of the Teensy 3.6 (Jack & Al W8TEE) or STM32 Nucleo microcontrollers, we have enough memory and ports to perform all these settings and tests embedded in a transceiver.

This project on Instructables shows how to build your own "Component Tester".
While it is complete in its own right, it could also be the basis for even more advanced
equipment.


Some of the ideas could possibly be incorporated into Arduino/Raduino controlled
transceivers as built-in test functions.
