 :palm:...oh man,
......after some trial and error attempts I noticed that in the battery?-modus
and
3 times pushing the start button
a select menue appears..afterwards one time pushing I can chance the issue
so I guess it works now!
Many thx for your patient indman :clap:
My next idea .....I will study your schematics , maybe I adapt an encoder switch or something like that. 

 :-+ :-+

P.S.: I let the diode assembly as it is?!!

To be honest, I didn’t understand anything from your last message? Could you explain in a simpler way after what actions did your tester start working?
I don’t understand why you need to press the Test button 3 times? Have you read the madires manual on how to work correctly with m-firmware?

Not in this specific case.
This is one of the best - if not the best - manual I have ever seen.

Hi mates,

So,  I have to realize, that the tester doesn't detect any DUT neither transistors nor any other device
after switching on the tester and>>> Testing.... appears.
 It swings after a short periode of further time to>>>Battery?
I have read the manuals and could find out that  all other features specified in the manuals are working!! :-+

Have you tried with the SRV05-4 removed?

Hi,
what is the difference between "k" and "m" versions for the tester sw?
Where could I find the latest hex/eep versions for the t7 tester? Is it the 1.43m version?
Thx for ideas.

You probably didn't read the Madires manual carefully?
It details the main differences between m-firmware and k-firmware.
Also in this manual there are links to sources where you can find the materials and firmware you need.
The best way to get the version you want is to build the firmware yourself, so you can customize the options you like and need. All it takes is some effort to learn how to compile. Even a child can do it. ;)

Anyone know of a source to buy a legit Atmel tester in the form of a T1, T2, T7... I like the convenience of the package but have never found one that's not fake, and I've opened quite a few!

What about the GM328A DIP version with the acrylic case?

Hello, what are the problems if I have a tester with a fake (or not Atmega) CPU ? Do they work not good ? Or there is no bad effect ?

You can't program an OSHW firmware and some measurements are subpar.

Edit: Some also lack the self-adjustment.

I have a TC1 with the APT32F172K8T6 and it works quite OK for most components.
Here I had made some tests.
You can find it 2 posts below this link target (Reply #8323):

For some reason the actual link target is not working.

Aldo22 Because you misspelled the post number in your link. It should look like this  ;)
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/$20-lcr-esr-transistor-checker-project/msg4765046/#msg4765046
I intentionally took another target because the direct link (yours too) just doesn't work (at least not for me).

Yes, that's right, there was some kind of glitch in the messaging system. I've noticed this before.

Hi all
I have one of the original clones ver 2.2 2012/11/26 atmega128 the same as pic 1 but i have the 2 caps between the lcd headers and a 8m crystal like a mashup of the 2 pics
I am looking to upgrade as much as possible
I have installed an atmega328(duino lilypad) and bought a rotary encoder
I also want to check in circuit esr
Can anyone point me in the direction of upgrade steps with adding encoder and the best firmware to use and steps to be taken
Thanks look forward to your replies

mentholflash, I have attached the firmware for your clone below. You will find the encoder connection and programming flash method in the complete manual from Karl-Heinz.

Thank you for your speedy responce
I did read the encoder part but pd1 and pd3 are not connected at my lcd is it best to just solder to the ic or is there a better way to solder connections.
Thanks again
ps also looking to get a different screen would you know which is best for this device and would it benefit me to put a 1200 crystal just cause i have 1
cheers

Solder to the ic.

You can connect to the device any display with a controller that is supported by the firmware authors, but you will also have to update the firmware for the new display. You can only put quartz from the 8,16,20 MHz range into a clone.
Other frequencies are not suitable! All this is explained in detail in the manual.
