Abstract
Reference switches are widely used in Automation and robotics for positioning tasks. However, typically data sheets do not provide specifications regarding their repeatability performance. This work presents a cost-effective testbed to measure the repeatability of different switch types. It uses a high-resolution linear scale and an ATmega microcontroller to detect small deviations in switch trigger points. The Firmware is optimized for low latency and openly available. Finally, the proposed testbed is used to assess the performance of different reference switch types.
