Completes BMS v4.0 Hardware Bringup.

  • Full documentation of the Bringup Process, with diagrams and photos as well.
  • Adds a new command to read the current shunt polarity, to the bq_interface target.

Still needs a lot more work, but it turns out writing good docs is difficult. I will continue to work on this throughout the semester.

I finished up the documentation for checking the polarity. There is a paragraph style explanation with more detail and a bulleted list that is easier to follow. I aslo added a new command into the bq_interface that will read the current and convert it for you. This removes the need to use a direct memory read and then convert the hexadecimal.

Looks good. Noticed some references to BMS 3.0 and BMS 4.0, should probably standardize which one? unless it makes sense.

I checked out the references to BMS 3.0 in the updated docs and they seem to be accurate. The mention of BMS v3 for UART is specific because it is mentioning the introduction of UART.
