Contributing Test Scripts

When adding a test script for a specific component or PCB, please ensure the following are included:

1. Code: The script itself, well-commented for clarity.

2. Short README:

   - A KiCAD schematic of the test circuit.
   - A picture of the assembled test circuit (if possible).
   - Any explanations or details necessary to understand and reproduce the test.
   

This helps maintain consistency and ensures tests are easy to use and understand by other team members.
