Automated Falcon Door Test (Driver)

This test will open the falcon door from the latched position, during which it will monitor signals related to inward facing USS, cladding sensors, anti-pinch sensors, and strut current. If the door opens fully and all of these signals report values as expected, the test will pass. The test will then close the door on its own.

CLADDING_AUTOMATED_FALCD

This is an automated test to ensure the lower cladding modules in the falcon wing door are plugged in and reading valid data from the capacitive sensing circuits. This test must be run while the door is stationary and ran at least 5 seconds after the door has stopped moving. The test will not validate whether the sensors will properly detect objects or not.
