Protoboard configurable por software, denominada “SOFTBOARD”

Abstract

Different methods of prototyping electronic circuits have been developed over the last century, where experience has selected the simplest, most economical, practical and reusable process, the breadboard, in which it is possible to assemble circuits in a short time and putting them to the test, in addition, their contribution to the academic sector is the basis of the expertise of a professional. This document shows the results of the process of design, development and construction of the “Softboard” tool, which makes available to students and professionals an alternative for the assembly of electronic circuits supported by software that communicates to a microcontroller the interconnection between rows and / or columns of a breadboard by means of solid state relays. This describes the electrical characteristics of the device, prototype design, project costs, performance comparison with a traditional breadboard, and programming algorithms.
