Add powerboard noise test
High noise has been observed for the R4/R5 powerboards. Such noisy powerboards are characterised by instable bpol 1V
outputs (see Dennis' slides). @dsperlic developed a method to test if a powerboard is noisy in that manner by measuring the standard deviation of the bpol 1V
.
This MR adds a new test to powertools, called PB_NOISE
. It measures the bpol 1V
standard deviation 100 times for loads of 0 A
, 1 A
and 2 A
. The test passing condition is if the standard deviation is below 5
. Note that in Dennis' original implementation the passing condition was 50
, as the standard deviation was not divided by the sample size (which is 100
, i.e. divide the passing condition by sqrt(100)=10
).
Originally, this test was part of the LV_ENABLE
test. I factored it out, because I think it is useful to have this as a standalone result.
This test will soon be added to the end-cap powerboard testing firmware.
