Abstract

This study describes development for set of stand-alone portable electronics eye testing kit using microprocessor and LCD screen. A brief explanation of the system development and the selection of the hardware are presented and the prototype is successful built with Arduino Uno and Adafruit 1.8 inch diagonal TFT LCD screen. The prototype is working in good condition and the images are displayed according to the own specification.
