In response to an online discussion on the Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange, [Joseph Eoff] decided to prove his point by slapping together a bare-bones IV curve tracer using an Arduino Nano and a handful of passives. But he continued to tinker with the circuit, seeing just how much improvement was possible out of this simple setup. He […]

We’ve all found ourselves swimming amongst too many similar-looking USB cables over the years. Some have all the conductors and functionality, some are weird power-only oddballs, and some charge our phones quickly while others don’t. It’s a huge headache and one that [TechKiwiGadgets] hopes to solve with the Arduino Cable Tracer. The tracer works with USB-A,

Instantly diagnose the type and integrity of USB cables with this Arduino Cable Tracer. Suitable to trace USB A, Mini, Mico, and USB-C cables this is very useful to identify the exact wiring configuration and also diagnose broken connections. Step 1: Gather the Materials and Tools The Arduino Mega board is an excellent option for

If you have a pile of USB cables this handy Arduino Cable Tracer project can help you test and diagnose your USB cables from issues, making sure you have the most efficient and safest possible system charging your mobile devices and gadgets. The project has been built by the team over at TechKiwiGadgets and allows you to
Test your USB cables for faults using the Arduino Cable Tracer Continue Reading
As the hardware is at the point of initial release, but the firmware and GUI aren’t quite there yet, I decided that it would be prudent to split off the firmware and GUI components into their own GIT repositories. Tracking all files in the same repository was convenient through the initial stages of project development,

Do not attempt this project if you are not comfortable working with line voltages! *** This projects shows how to create an IV (Current and Voltage) Tracer that can be used to teach the electrical characteristics of a solar panel. This project was created as part of an Electrical and Computer Engineering capstone project at
