Thanks to the folks over at 555 Timer Circuits I threw together a quick PCB layout for their continuity tester. Yes, most multimeters contain a continuity buzzer, but this is going to be part of a prototyping fixture that is currently in the planning phase. The idea is that I’ll have a breadboard, power supply, signal generator, headphone amplifier, and this continuity tester in one unit.
