Now let's build a tester.
This tester will check Cat5 cables for crossed pairs and continuity, tests SSR's, and 595's and Renards for output. A note on testing output of Renards. I have used it with the 8 channel Renard and it works. The LEDs burn very dimmly, but they do light up. Any input on how the output tester works with other Renard boards would be appreciated.

The PCB is pretty straight forward, and the traces are not real close to each other for an easy home etch. I put three copies of the file on a page to save on transfer paper. The trace file in .pdf can be downloaded here . And the Mobile unit trace file here Be sure when you print it, that it does not get scaled or the board components will not fit the enclosure.
