[Microbit-Python] Testing Point Documentation

[Andrew Ferguson 500]

No, the computer does not recognise the micro:bit. If I power the micro:bit from the 2x AAA batteries nothing happens at all. (No light, no chips getting hot).

Hopefully more stuff will be released as Free Software / open source soon (especially the DAL and the iOS and Android apps).

From the top of my head I vaguely remember the test points at the back probably connected to the microcontroller in charge of the USB communication (and, I assume, the battery controller), so they might be a programming interface more than actual test points.
