Component Tester

The last project that i built it is a component tester, which is based on AVR-Transistortester by Mark Frejek. 
And here is the modified version further developed by Karl-Heinz Kübbeler.
You'll find all firmwares and  documentation  at http://www.mikrocontroller.net/svnbrowser/transistortester/.

 Here is the schematic:
 The PCB layout:

 And here is the final result:

Here is a list of the parts used in this project:

  -Operates with ATmega8, ATmega168 or ATmega328 microcontrollers.
  -Automatic detection of NPN and PNP transistors, N-channel and P-channel MOSFET, diode (including dual diode),Thyristor,Transistors, resistors and capacitors.
  -Automatic detection of pin layout of the detected part.
  -Measuring of current amplifcation factor and Base-Emitter threshold voltage of bipolar transistors.
  -Detection of the protection diode of bipolar transistors and MOSFETs.
  -Measuring of the Gate threshold voltage and Gate capacity value of MOSFETs.
  -Resolution of resistor measurement is now up to 0:01 values up to 50M are detected.

      I initially used in the transistortester ATMEGA8, but I changed microcontroller because ATMEGA328 version has more functions (like ESR and inductance measuring).
      ATMEGA8 microcontroller was programmed using PonyProg and a simple serial programmer.For Atmega328 microcontroller i use an UsbAsp programmer and AVR Burn-O-Mat software.

    Hello and thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
    I build a PCB according to your instructions and uploaded for an m328p the .hex and the .eep files from this link:
    http://www.mikrocontroller.net/svnbrowser/transistortester/Software/trunk/mega328/
    I connected a 9V battery. After pushing the button, LCD awakes and says in quite rapid order:
    - Selection: Transistor
    - Bat. 8.7V OK
    - Testing...
    After that the LCD turns off.
    The fuses of the 328p are set E:FD, H:D6, L:FF

    I don't know where to search for a mistake, but I assume it has something to do with the 328p.
    Should I try a special bootloader, different fuses or some other firmware?
    Thank you very much.

    1. UnknownMarch 13, 2017 at 10:20 AM

      Hi
      I just read the fuses from the tester, and they are
      L - 0xFF
      H - 0xD9
      E - 0x07

      Make a bridge between the collector and emitter of the transistor q1. Now the tester should be on all the time, if so, you have a problem with the power supply circuit latching.

      Delete
    2. UnknownMarch 13, 2017 at 9:25 PM

      Hi, thank you very much. I made a bridge as suggested. The LCD turns on, after "Testing..." some 1>--<2 text appears, after that a screen with "Timeout" appears and the LED turns off. "Timeout" stays on the LCD all the time.

      Delete
    3. UnknownMarch 14, 2017 at 9:41 AM

      Maybe there is a problem between components for the probes 1 and 2.
      Double check all your PCB for bridges between adjacent copper tracks and for broken traces.

      Delete
    4. UnknownMarch 14, 2017 at 7:08 PM

      Thank you very much, there was indeed a tiny bridge between reset-pin of m328p and the nearby wire.
      Now the tester works fine, thanks a lot!

      May I ask another question? Is there a way to slow down the speed between the screens showing the results of the test? It says "testing", then the LCD is showing the 1st page of the results and within a second the 2nd page. I can't read that fast ;-)

      Yes, exactly as your PCB. Fuses set as you said. Maybe this is a setting in the makefile or in one of the .h files?

    Salut!
    Am citit cu mare interes blogul tau. Felicitari pentru realizari si pentru ca m-ai "imbolnavit" si pe mine de programarea microcontrolerelor. Sunt abia la primii pasi deci nu ma pot lauda decat cu aprinderea catorva leduri, un buton care are 3 functii si alte cateva maruntisuri.
    Am ajuns aici pentru ca am imprumutat de la un prieten un aparat de masura similar care foloseste un Atmega328P-PU si din greseala am vrut sa masor ESR pe un condensator care nu a fost descarcat.
    Am cumparat un alt Atmega328P-PU si am incercat sa-i fac backup la firmware-ul din cel vechi sa-l rescriu in cel nou folosind un Arduino Uno ca ISP. Citirea si scrierea microprocesoarelor a decurs OK conform AVRDude dar aparatul de masura nu a functionat cu microcontrolerul facut de mine. Nu pornea.
    L-am trimis la reparat la cel care l-a constuit si acum functioneaza cu microcontrolerul pus de acesta dar nu si cu cel facut de mine, nici macar daca am descarcat software-ul din cel cu care acum functioneaza. Ai putea sa-mi spui de ce?
    Multumesc anticipat!

      Salut!
      Daca backup-ul si rescrierea noului microcontroler a decurs fara erori, singurele probleme la care ma pot gandi momentan sunt: lipsa backup si rescriere pentru memoria eeprom sau configurare fuse-uri(poate sunt setate pentru oscilator extern si acesta nu exista, etc)
      Am copiat si eu astazi firmware-ul din aparat si am reprogramat un microcontroler nou. Dupa rescriere si setarea fuse-uri 0xFF, 0xD9, 0x07 testerul functioneaza normal.

      Delete
    2. UnknownMarch 13, 2017 at 8:03 PM

      Multumesc pentru raspuns.
      Am aflat ce nu era in regula. Backup-ul microcontroler-ului nu a fost in regula dar nu am observat atunci. Fisierul de backup pentru flash era foarte scurt si de aceea nu mergea. Mi-e teama ca microcontroler-ul la care voiam eu sa-i fac backup nu permitea acest lucru. Am gasit aseara ceva informatii despre setarea unor biti care sa nu permita citirea microcontroler-ului dar mai am de studiat.
      Am scris insa un atmega328p-pu cu fisierele indicate aici pe site si totul e OK cu toate ca nu sunt lamurit in ce priveste Lfuse, Hfuse si Efuse. Ale mele arata asa, vazute in xvi32:
      L :01000000FF00 :00000001FF
      H :01000000D926 :00000001FF

      Hi! That resistor controls the contrast or the birghtness of the LCD screen, I don't remember wich right now. I think it was the brightness, I used a 270ohms resistor and it worked fine, just turn the potentiometer (I think there was only one) to make the LCD legible.
      And the LM336 is 2.5V
