Manual resistance checks on test boards slow down inspection and introduce avoidable variability. This project develops an automated system to measure the resistance of every printed electrical trace on a board, replacing handheld voltmeter work with repeatable, instrumented testing.
Design work centers on a breadboard-style test fixture that provides a consistent socket or electrical interface for each board and uses a microcontroller to control measurements and capture results. Board dimensions and schematic layouts are provided to guide fixture and interface design. An optional expansion extends the same approach to test multiple boards at once, such as 2, 4, 9, or 16 boards, using a single microcontroller and a scalable switching or routing strategy.
