3. Example

Test Faulty Cat's functionality

This test was performed using a Raspberry Pi Pico running a simple code with an infinite counter and using the Arduino IDE's serial monitor. Nevertheless, it can be performed with different microcontrollers and codes.

We have added the reference code that the Raspberry board is running in the Releases section of this repository.

1. Once the code is uploaded to the board, we can read the counter in the Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor.

2. Place the inductor portion downward, and position the “business end” vertically to the MCU.
3. Press the ARMING button while bringing the inductor closer to the microcontroller.
4. Press the PULSE button once the CHG and HV LEDs are turned on.

As soon as the PULSE button is pressed, the count on the serial monitor should stop, forcing the user to perform a manual reset for the board to work again.
