Low cost general PCB test fixture system/software/platform

[ricko_uk]

Hi,
are there any very low cost - perhaps open source - platform/system to be used with PCB test fixtures? Something general that can be customised. Like a state machine that generates certain analog and digital signals (defined through a PC interface) which are then applied to some contacts (i.e. pogo pins of a test bed) and then reads back signals form other contacts from the same fixture. Effectively recreating a low cost PCB test system.

Something that would allow to use with a (DIY) bed of nails and setups quickly and easily instead of having to write custom code to control the PCB fixture test?

Perhaps something Arduino based?

Thank you

Hmm. What kind of platform do you mean?  We sort of have 3 domains: probing, electronics measurement, and test control.

There are probably a few electronics measurements efforts out there. Maybe EEZ-DIB is worth a look as a platform? And Black Magic for JTAG programming/test?

Test control is, I suspect, often a code-your-own effort. The EEZ crew are working on graphical stuff like EEZ-Studio and EEZ-Flow; I don’t know if that’s helpful.
