version of the acquisition chip, and costs less. That would support one
pressure sensor and one load cell. Then make it possible to add on other
acquisition boards somehow.

+- sticking with the ADS131A04 and routing the extra two inputs to the header
+ means that supporting 2 burn wires for the strand burner daughter card is
+ dead simple. it also means that adding a second load cell and pressure
+ sensor if required on a daughter card would also be dead simple.
+
+- for strand burner, I need a daughter card that provides a high-side switch
+ for pyro power (since I need a common ground through the system), and has
+ resistors for 2 ADC inputs hooked to burn wires. Bring this all out through
+ a 5-pin connector to the outside that hooks to the strand burner end. We'd
+ also use the existing pressure sensor channel, but not use the load cell.
+
+ So, firmware wants to log all 4 analog inputs all the time. For a test
+ stand run, only the pressure sensor and load cell are relevant. For strand
+ burner, pressure sensor and the two burn wires are relevant.

+- for Jamie / Estes, I need a daughter card that adds at least 4 thermistor
+ inputs, and support for their Sony camera trigger thing.

+- high-side switch for strand burner daughter card. This is an 8-SO part
+ good to 28V and 21A, 50 mOhm on resistance. Should be trivial to make
+ work on a 2-layer PCB

+ Means we need multiple header pins carrying pyro voltage to get enough
+ current, since the header spec is 3A per pin. 2-4 pins each for v_pyro
+ on the pin 1 end, and gnd on the other end should do.
