PCB BON Tester

Printed Circuit Board(PCB) is the most important component in designing any electronic stuff. While dealing with large number of boards it is often difficult to test each and every board.With the aim to test each board separately, accurately and speedily PCB BON Tester had been made by the team of HardSoft members.The Software was made both in JAVA as well as in Python language and its Hardware Programming was done in C++ on Atmega 16 micro-controller. In this the user can specify the number of components as needed by him/her in the software program on PC. Once a user specifies all the components the points which should be interconnected on the board are specified. These interconnected points thus form groups. The procedure adopted to check the correctness of the board is to apply voltage at one of the points in a group and then checking the voltage at other points of the same group as well as other groups for checking short and open circuits. The information regarding the array of groups formed is sent to the micro-controller. Attached to the micro- controller are the pins which are connected to the points on the board. The controller provides a potential at one pin of a group and then checks the potential at other points using the other pins.

THE TEAM:

• Software programming was successfully done by Vikas Kashyap, Siddharth Arora and Sarik Bansal.

• Hardware programing was successfully done by Siddharth Arora.

This project was successfully completed under the guidance and supervision of Prof. D.V.Gadre.
