Brownout Faults

[ericgaudet]

Is the Brownout: ### faults counter meant to count the number of times that Systemcore experienced a brownout or the amount of time that it was in a brownout state? Right now, it's reporting the latter.

I found this accidentally when I was testing the low-voltage tolerance using a bench power supply. I had the voltage at 6V for about 1 second and the Brownout fault counter is at 3086.

As a side note, you can only see the counter and other fault stats once you get a fault. You'll see a triangle in the top-right of the Systemcore web interface, next to the Battery, CPU, RAM and Temp data.

I can see the advantage of both stats (count and time) so it's likely just a matter of deciding which is better and then documenting it appropriately.

I think having a consistent way to view fault counts at all times even if there aren't any is important- a positive indication of "no faults" can be more reassuring than the absence of a fault indicator
