Hey Steve you have pretty much described my ADT add on for the tester. This is one feature only of the tester. You simply clip the test clip over the device (7408...etc) while the board is powered up and tell the tester the device name. It will then graphically show the device and if it passes or not. There are some more functions it will do, such as identify stuck pins or shorted pins. It is also self learning.

The tester comes with a psu, manual, software disk (pre loaded) and the ADT add on. The PSU is for UK so you prob will need a different one but it is a 9V DC supply. I can probably send to USA though cost might be more due to shipment. I will drop you a PM tomorrow to discuss more.

Only recently read through this topic, but I have to agree it looks like an amazing bit of kit.

Have you thought about approaching any of the well-known test kit manufacturers to see if they're interested in producing it on a larger scale as it's not just arcade repairs where it could be used?

Not as yet mate. It has been designed primarily for arcade 8bit systems but it probably can be used on other things too. If it takes off then I will have to look at ways to speed up the build since they are labour intensive atm. Ive used my DFM and production knowledge to the full in these so I can reproduce them reasonably quick but its all dependant on volume.

There were a few PCB faults (nothing major) on the first rev, so working on a new rev of board which will improve production for me. Will have to get more boards anyhow as all the first batch have now sold, not even managed to keep a set for myself so Im still using my flung together proto!

Who knows mate... could be in future you will see Agilent or something on the front!

"There were a few PCB faults (nothing major) on the first rev,"

Chicken and the egg scenario, great work, be interested to see one working in a video and diagnosing a board.

Even a quick video going over the attachments included, etc.. just a quick walkthru of the hardware would be great..

Much appreciate all the comments guys!

anyhow due to poplar demand Im now uploading some videos. I say some as my camera is out the ark and has limited memory and battery capacity so this is taking bloody ages. Hopefully they will be live soon and you can all laugh as im never going to be a YouTube sensation lol.

The first three videos will be an introduction to its basic stuff then I will do videos on in depth stuff too.
