Test 2 for Relay Life - Progress update

I added the RC network discussed in the previous entry. Everything is working correctly and today I will shift the test board up to the workshop for an extended run, being the balance of the 262100 cycles the 32MB Flash chip holds. So far, after 30,816 cycles, there has been no obvious change.

While running in the house attached to a terminal I can monitor progress. The legend for what is shown below is:

\ Closing time

- ADC voltage reading

/ Opening time

So at a glance I can tell if anything has significantly changed since each symbol is printed in proportion to the reading.

Which it hasn't. Early days.
