Update!! Cable tracer kitset is now available here https://www.tindie.com/products/techk...
After a lot of positive feedback on the original Instructables project, I reworked this Arduino Cable Tracer and produced a smaller unit with a prefabricated PCB so that the heavy lifting related to soldering is avoided.
approx 70% smaller footprint
Additionally includes RJ45, USB-A3, USB-B3, USB-B, USB-Micro3
Touch screen menu that enables manual selection of ports to do a deeper diagnosis of faulty cables
This video shows a faulty USB A to USB C cable tested with the legacy USB Cable Tester
