Multi Purpose Tester


To eliminate the effect of multiple segments having to share the same current source at the same time and dimming some digits more than others, the firmware is written in such a way that only one segment is active at any one time. This multi functions probe is designed by Luhan Monat. If you want to build this super probe here link for source code: hex file, asm file, schematic.
