Picaxe 4-20ma Tester

The document describes a program that controls a PWM output to raise and lower between 4mA, 12mA, and 20mA levels. It uses an ADC to read the current and adjusts the PWM duty cycle up or down if the current drifts from the target level. If the current goes out of range, it enters a fault routine that can be reset by a push button.
