Tutorial: How to Use Micro USB Voltage and Current Tester

The micro USB voltage and current tester is an essential tool for makers working with low voltage devices. It is used to check if a micro USB cable is functioning correctly by measuring the charging voltage and current. This tester is ideal for both beginners and experts who want to quickly verify the integrity of their charging devices.

What you need

• Micro USB Voltage and Current Tester
• Arduino or device to be tested

Steps

1. Connect the tester to the micro USB cable.
2. Connect the micro USB cable to a power supply or to the device you want to test.
3. Check the voltage indication on the tester’s LED display.
4. If necessary, measure the charging current using a test resistor (check the datasheet).
5. Detect whether the micro USB cable is capable of providing or receiving power accurately.

Mini project

Create a simple alarm system that activates when the voltage of the device being tested drops below a certain level.

Common mistakes

• Do not check if the multimeter is properly connected.
• Omit the verification of the test resistance to measure current.
• Misinterpret the LED display indications.
• Use the multimeter on devices with electrical voltage higher than its tolerance.

Recommended accessories

• 10 Ohm resistor
• USB power supply
• Arduino Uno R3
