Prepare the wiring map before power-up
Do not begin with ad hoc bench wiring. Start with a compact interface map that calls out the power path, command path and any shared buses you expect to use.
That makes the 3D viewer and the ordering workflow more useful because both can refer to the same interface assumptions.
Separate bring-up from evaluation
A first bench session should answer whether the basic interface and physical setup are sane. It should not try to validate every subsystem at once.
Split the work into bring-up, signal verification and scenario-based evaluation.
- Confirm physical orientation and connector access.
- Verify expected power sequencing assumptions.
- Check the first communication path before adding more peripherals.
Record what needs clarification
If a missing data point blocks the next step, route it back into the product documentation or technical follow-up instead of burying it in bench notes. The platform exists to make those loops visible.
