Sarver Systems:
A friend of mine at work is looking into getting one.
We were discussing what it is, how it works etc...

Then it dawned on me, and idea I have.

But, I know absolutely nothing about them, so here is where you come in.

Is there any that the Pi can be used as a board tester?

For example, connect the Pi, via the proper harness to an arcade board, and have it test all of the proper outputs (also via a harness) and display on the screen a list of proper readings along with actual readings.

Basically, I want to build a computer-controlled test system.

No. I guess you're thinking about JAMMA boards. I don't see how you can use a Pi to test anything on a PCB.

Exactly. You want to test boards, build one of these like I did: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,121731.msg1291487.html#msg1291487

Sarver Systems:
Yes and no.

I'm building a supergun with built-in display as we speak.

I want to test pinball boards, as well as Pac-Man, etc... boards.

I want to test down to component level.

Here's the question to ask, then... How?
