Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a breadboard through which following things can be measured:
1. To know the voltage on every pin of component via software.
2. To check whether pin on breadboard is occupied or not?
I am using voltage buffer(as suggested by one of the members) to know the voltage on every pin being monitored. But I'm not sure how I'll check whether pin on breadboard is occupied or not. I am thinking to use switch matrix or capacitive sensing method to know which pin is occupied. Please guide me, whether the above method will be feasible or not.

Actually, I am trying to connect the breadboard to the software(replacing multimeter) using USB protocol and through the software we can measure the voltage and get to know which pin is occupied on breadboard and which pin is not occupied.
