First, my instructor didn't give me this project I chose it. He said a few project titles that no one else has in his class before, and I like challenges, so I chose IC Tester. Now I think I bit off more than I can chew. To keep things simple and not complicate things, I decided not to have the tester to check all 74 series chip, just the ones with the quad 2input logic. Since my lab partner drop the class my prof. look at my proposal and told me to drop the LCD and keypad (but I think I want to use a peypad not sure) because I am by myself. I will use LEDs to display which chip is good or bad. If you can point me in the right direction thats cool. Though I think the code I wrote up may not work to my will.
