In electronic circuits that use various integrated circuits (ICs), ICs may malfunction while assembled, used, and repaired. There are numerous ways to verify that ICs are operating, such as by measuring basic current and voltage with a VOM meter. However, many sophisticated operations are hard to measure and test, and the accuracy of the tests is low and takes a long time. Thus, it is crucial to have a tool that can rapidly determine whether or not integrated circuits are operating correctly. The purpose of this article is to develop a tool for testing the functionality of logic gate ICs. By modeling its properties using the truth table of the specific IC, the device employs an Arduino to verify the condition of the gates in a logic gate IC. After successful simulation and testing, they are assembled to form a final device.

In this article, the primary purpose is to design and implement a remote light control example that makes use of the Arduino IDE platform for programming, the MQTT protocol, and an ESP32 microcontroller, which has a dual-core CPU as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. This aspect is related to the Internet of Things (IoT), which allows any fundamental device to be linked and become a smart device via the application of the Internet. As a result, these devices can be operated from a significantly long-distance, eliminating the need to physically interact with the switches to turn them on or off. The first part of the paper is a discussion of the fundamental theory that is provided to examine the potential of remote control methods, followed by a short overview of the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE), MQTT communication protocol, and PWM technique to regulate the brightness of lights. The second section is devoted to hands-on work, such as setting up an environment connection over the Internet, compiling and designing a printed circuit board (PCB).
