With social distancing being the current norm, I’m working primarily from home right now. As such, I found I needed to clean my work area. Doing this, I also found I had a lot of random bits around and decided to make something of them. Here is a simple cable tester I’ve made based on ideas found at diystompboxes.com. I shared the idea and more photos on SSGuitar.com, but here is the short version:
Note: I chose to omit the speaker and subbed R1 with a 1k to reduce brightness.
No lights on means the cable is electrically open. Just the red LED on means there is a short. Both lights means you are in business!
