Is it possible to create a design that has the ability to test the pinout of cables?
For example If I have a 20 pin male connector and the other end of the cable was a 20 pin female connector would it be possible to connect both male and female end into a device that could confirm that pin 1 on the male side is connected to pin 1 on the female side and that pin 2 on the male side is connected to pin 2 on the female side and so on.
If this is possible how would this be achieved?
Also getting even more complicated, is it possible to create a device to detect more complicated layouts.. For example if my pin 1 on the male side was going to my pin 7 on the female side.
Any input on how I can achieve this would be greatly appreciated!
I'd quite like to create a test box for my college project.
Thanks in advance
