yes, blue and other similar bob-barker based designs wont show leakage.

Which ones would show you leakage that are worth a crap
Please show website links thanks

**stj** · 06-15-2020, 09:25 AM

pretty much all of the atmel based component testers - they all use the same software

Hello
search (original) working HEX/EEP files and Fuse settings for the GM328 (AY-AT)
Transistor Tester (from Banggood) because my Atmega is broken.
The original seems to be protected against reading :-(
TX7014DH is on the Display,
thanks for a feedback

**stj** · 07-07-2020, 04:00 AM

why original?
we have newer ones on this forum if you search - i know because i built and posted them!

snapper1234 · 07-07-2020, 08:43 AM

which one is to be recommended that comes near to the original?
where can i download it?

Inside folder: M328KIT+TFT
You can there find Firmware in original.
But also both Madires (M-Firmware) and Karl-Heinz Kübbeler (K-Firmware)
Note that the "original" firmware is of course the K-firmware with some changes by the Chinese, but not releasing the source code

If you prefer to build the firmware from source here is the SVN repo:
The latest K-firmware: https://www.mikrocontroller.net/svnb...oftware/trunk/
The latest M-firmware: https://www.mikrocontroller.net/svnb...ftware/Markus/

EDIT: You also cross-posted here and got a reply already from Madires:

I found the firmware does not detect PNP germanium transistors. They get reported as a diode.
Another 328 tester (2x20 LCD) I built with Karl-Heinz Kübbeler firmware does work and tests the transistors OK.

This is on AY-AT/ST7735 20MHz xtal with SVN810 STJ.

**stj** · 10-07-2020, 02:51 AM

maybe i should do a fresh build?

Dutch52 · 10-12-2020, 06:51 AM

That would be nice, STJ

lz4pa · 01-12-2021, 04:18 AM

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I managed to do my tester, but I have a problem with the version. The font is very small. Can anyone help with the .hex and .eep files ?

lz4pa · 01-12-2021, 04:22 AM

the my version is AY-AT ESR tester(SVN810) with 16Mhz quartz

**stj** · 01-12-2021, 08:37 AM

i dont have that model to test the different font options.

lz4pa · 01-12-2021, 09:57 AM

I made the model M328kit + 1.8''TFT Full Color LCD Display Module 128X160 Serial SPI ST7735S. I just had one. It works great with your software, but unfortunately the font is small.

**stj** · 01-12-2021, 11:35 AM

well you could try making your own.

you need the avrgcc compiler and associated tools.
i think those are in the arduino suit.
or use a Linux machine

lz4pa · 01-13-2021, 01:07 AM

Thanks for your attention stj. I don't understand anything about programming. That's why I asked for help in the forum. For now I am freezing the project or I will seek help again! Thanks again!

**stj** · 01-13-2021, 06:06 AM

yes,
the problem with changing fonts is that you need to take into account the shorter number of characters you can fit onscreen so it doesnt wrap or make a mess.

lz4pa · 01-13-2021, 07:26 AM

I won't be able to do it.
I stay like that. If anyone can help me , I will be very happy!

**Per Hansson** · 01-13-2021, 03:24 PM

This is something you etched yourself lz4pa by the looks of it? Nice work!
What MCU did you use, Atmega328p?
Maybe I will have some time in the weekend to see if something can be improved.
I did not find a firmware for ST7735S display in the massive eevblog thread but I did not look very hard...

lz4pa · 01-14-2021, 12:40 AM

Hello Per Hansson! Yes ,use atmega328p in this construction. I made the scheme of M328 kit + tft display based on st7735s. I guess it's all due to the difference in the resolution of the displays. Thanks in advance!
