[Microbit-Python] Testing Point Documentation

[Radomir Dopieralski]

Hi,

we are still waiting for BBC to release the promised technical documentation on
the Micro:bit. I'm sure that the schematics and board layout designs are enough
to figure out what those test points do, but until that is published, there is
very little information.

Then again, I doubt this would help you. What you describe really
sounds like a failure in that USB chip, and I don't think you can do
much about that.
