Arduino Automated Product Tester - Power BLough-R tester
Brian Lough
In this video we take a look at the automated tester I built for my Power BLough-Rs using an Arduino Nano. This is probably one of the most useful things I've made with an Arduino and has genuinely saved me hours already.
The Power BLough-R is a really simple way of solving the USB backfeed problem often seen when using Octoprint with your 3d printer. Check the Tindie page for more details.
