Short Circuit Detector using Arduino Uno

Can you help me to create a Short Circuit Detector using Arduino Uno? i want to make this for our research. i don't know how to do the coding

Such devices are commonly called "cable tester". Do a search, there's a lot to find.

How is the wiring?
What exactly do you mean?

I'm trying to remake this device because our thesis is all about the arduino as a short circuit detector.

This is posted from 2016 in YouTube but i couldn't understand the language.

I need the full details on how to make this device

I suggest you take another starting point...
As suggested above by @Railroader ....

Please don't make duplicate threads. I've reported this one.

Maybe you are looking for a over current detector...
From your post that is not clear and I do not volunteer to watch youtube movies...

Your other topic on the same subject deleted.

Please do not duplicate your questions as doing so wastes the time and effort of the volunteers trying to help you as they are then answering the same thing in different places.

Please create one topic only for your question and choose the forum category carefully. If you have multiple questions about the same project then please ask your questions in the one topic as the answers to one question provide useful context for the others, and also you won’t have to keep explaining your project repeatedly.

Repeated duplicate posting could result in a temporary or permanent ban from the forum.

It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.

Thank you.

That's a very open-ended question. My first thought would be, if you don't understand what's being said in the video, contact the maker of the video and ask them to clarify.

Otherwise, it'll help if you clearly state what the requirements of your project are - i.e. what should the short circuit detector do, and under which conditions should it function? Also state what you've tried so far and at what point you're getting stuck.

If this is a case of "we're not really sure how to get started", my suggestion would be to get an Arduino board and try to make the onboard LED blink with your own code. That's usually the first step on any microcontroller platform. Then take it from there, one step at a time.

Good luck.

PS: I'm surprised that replicating an existing (and fairly simple) project would suffice for any kind of thesis project. I'd recommend to check the requirements for your thesis project and ensure that recreating the setup in the video will really meet them.

Free Code: Interesting project but we are not a free code writing service. We will help out with your code but first you have to make an attempt to write it, post it and explain what is not working properly. If there is hardware it is always best to post links to technical information as there are many versions of the same or different items. Since we cannot see your project, my eyes are to weak, you need to post an annotated schematic (best) or a clear picture of a drawing. Pictures never hurt. Frizzing diagrams are not considered schematics here. How many are in your group, class?

Copying another's circuit is not a suitable project for a thesis at any level. And that video is very poor.

Start by defining what the conditons are for a short circuit.

Does the circuit you are checking have an existing supply voltage - if so what are its properties?
EG you could be continuity testing the live on a 240V ac mains supply. or 132kV.

If there is nothing else connected to the circuit you are testing the problem is unbearably trivial.
