The power meter accepts a fixed 4 volts input, and outputs to the
battery connector on the board. It is also connected to a computer for
data recording, including voltage and current.

The CPU frequency pinning and Pdyn calculation is done by a script on
the list: [1]. I just removed the power measuring part since it was done
on the computer with the meter.

I will improve the commit log in v2.
