Standby Current measurement sequence #31

@BlakeFreer

Description

@BlakeFreer

There are two current sense circuits on the PCB measuring total consumption and isolated FPGA consumption.

Camera, antenna, flash, MCU, and board leakage/quiescent currents are not isolated. They need to be derived by comparing the total consumption with and without it activated.

Knowing these currents will help us plan energy consumption. It is especially relevant for the camera and quiescent currents since they are constant loads that we cannot improve

Task

Create a manual-mode sequence which goes through several states to measure current of each device. Save the results in the parameters struct in flash (see #26)

This is nontrivial since components cannot be turned on in isolation. Ex the camera cannot be turned on without the fpga.
