ABSTRACT:
A system and a method to establish reconfigurable electrical connections between selected leads of electronic devices includes a node board having a plurality of nodes into which the leads of the electronic devices are inserted, and a device proximity detector for locating the position of the electronic devices inserted in the node board, and a power controller containing a plurality of switches disposed to connect power and ground to selected nodes, and a connection array of switches for coupling combinations of nodes. The system and method determine the location of the electronic devices present on the node board using information from the device proximity detector about which leads are present and a board layout diagram. Devices are placed on the node board in the same relative positions as they appear on the board layout diagram and their locations are automatically determined and connections according to a schematic are automatically established.
