A small production-style test fixture for assembled PCBs.

The fixture provides a repeatable way to power a board, expose test points, and verify the important signals before final assembly.

Why build one?

Testing one board by hand is fine. Testing the same board repeatedly gets tedious quickly.

A fixture turns a collection of probes and improvised wires into a repeatable process—and makes debugging much easier when a board doesn’t behave as expected.
