Test points on the power entry
💡 recommendationdebug/test-points
What it looks like
This looks like your main power-entry rail. Add a test point on both VIN and ground — if the board ever won't power up, the fastest first thing to rule out is whether it's getting ample power.
What it checks
Suggests test points on the main power-entry rail and its ground when none are present.
Why it matters
The first question for every dead board is 'is power even arriving?' — and answering it through a connector shell with two probe tips is how boards get scratched. Two test points cost nothing and answer it in five seconds.
How to fix it
Drop a test point on the entry rail and one on ground near it. Future-you, mid-debug, says thanks.
