EVPR automated testbench?

[GeorgesOatesLarsen]

Do we want a basic automated test bench?

Something that can be plugged in to the various inputs and outputs of the EVPR, and can quickly fire off a series of tests aimed at verifying the various power systems.

I would estimate the following would suffice to accomplish this:

• A MeanWell 12V power supply, on the order of $50
• Around $100 in relay modules
• A Raspberry Pi, about $50
• Some power resistors, about $30 worth
• 6 or so sets of shunt resistor and INA219, totaling around $60 to $70
• A couple sets of actual batteries, and a couple of charge controllers. The test bed would keep one set fully charged, and the other set half charged.

This test bench could, in theory, perform flashing, basic power, and load testing by connecting its different onboard, programmable power supplies to different pins.
