5. Edge Cases & Stress Tests
- Brown-out: Rapid power dropout/recovery cycles.
- High-speed Encoder Rotation: > 300 RPM continuous.
- Maximum Touch Key Load: Simultaneous activation of all 12 capacitive pads.
- Firmware Crash Recovery: Inject malformed MIDI from host.
6. Potential Risks & Mitigations
- ESD Damage: Add TVS diode on input rails.
- Thermal Overstress: Improve copper pours under high-power ICs.
- Signal Crosstalk: Route high-speed nets away from analog sensors.
- Firmware Deadlock: Implement watchdog timer.
7. Recommendations for Improved Coverage
- Include automated hardware‐in‐loop for continuous integration.
- Add power rail monitoring in‐circuit via ADC.
- Instrument code coverage for firmware unit tests (e.g., touch/latest encoder library).
- Plan periodic regression of environmental tests after firmware updates.
