Lazy Sunday afternoon project, a simple *PC817 OptoCoupler tester.

Two very simple ~5V circuits:

1) Quick check — push the button, LED on = works.

2) Test Circuit as mentioned in the datasheet for frequency / pulse behavior test.

Nothing fancy, but handy for sorting out good vs questionable parts.
