It would be great to have a "test mode" for two purposes:
test a device when assembling it,
test a new peripheral when it is added to an already built device.
Each peripheral could implement its own test modes. For example, a valve peripheral could open and close the valve in a cycle every 5 seconds or something.
Peripherals that supply input could use leds on the devices' PCB to show their status. A flow sensor could light up the led every time a pulse is counted. A temperature sensor could set the led light level based on the measured temperature.
Test mode can be engaged by holding down the "test 1" button, and is engaged while the button is held down.
