Smart Connector Matrix - an electrical tool to design and test circuits without maneuvering components

Abstract

The present invention is an electrical device which can be used to design and test electronic circuits with close to null manual intervention. It consists of plurality of reed relays to establish electrical contact between two given points in a connector matrix which is also part of the tool. User can make and break these electrical connections by application software controlling the reed relays. This application is required to be installed on a computer which aids user interaction with the tool. A micro-controller, equipped with firmware, is used to manage interface between the reed relays and the application software. Additionally, an analog to digital converter chip is implemented to measure voltage between two points in a user circuit under test.
