[sdiy] Current and Voltage Measurement

[Jacob Watters]

For eurorack stuff Joranalogue has a DIY module that is mostly pre-built. I
think it uses the atmega328, so it might not be overly precise, but it is
good enough to get an average reading for the specs list.

FWIW, I usually estimate current draw in battery backup circuits by
measuring voltage on the diode that connects battery to backed-up IC. Then
calculate current from diode equation.
Not super precise, but more than enough to see if there's something wrong
with the circuit.

If memory serves, there was a discussion not too long ago about
measuring currents and such. This little board could be adapted to do
some testing I think. I'm going to get one to look at current draw in
old synth battery-backed memory designs.

Seems to have a good range and minimal impact on the circuit under test.
