In this fast-changing world of technology, many engineers are required to keep up with the rapid pace of producing electronic gadgets and electrical devices to satisfy the demand of the consumers. This will lead to numerous components being tested with a multimeter which can compute its measurements. To relieve the workload of the engineers, the project aims to create a low-cost electronic tester which can test multiple components like passive components and transistors. C and C++ languages will be used widely to control the 8-bit microcontroller known as Arduino. Arduino is the main element that contains a voltage sensor to measure and convert the analog readings to digital results. The function of this electronic tester includes identification of tested component’s type and a one press to measure function to improve the effectiveness of the current multimeter without the need of physical probes.
