I actually submitted most of this code a short while ago thinking it wasn't directly useful to me. But as it happens, I needed it after all. This PR is the rest of the bug fix that I was looking for.
Essentially, I kept finding myself needing to do a physical reset of repeaters based on the XIAO nRF52 MCU. I had been a bit "lazy" when it came to wiring up my hardware, especially because I was using an external solar charge / battery controller, I had simply wired up the VUSB and GND pins and ignored the battery sense pins.
It turns out that in this configuration, if the battery gets very low, the device browns out and then can't recover. That is because of a couple of issues:
Along the way I have added a load of instrumentation so that it is possible to diagnose issues by using real data.
