Summary
This PR extends stimulator.py with functions for direct PCR500MA heater control and chopper operation, and adds corresponding tests.
New public functions
open_shutter() / close_shutter()— previously private; promoted to public APIrotate(speed_rpm, forward=True, start=True)— set chopper speed and optionally start rotation; start=False allows speed-only updates (e.g. mid-run speed changes)stop_rotation()— stop the chopper; previously inlined in _stop()set_heater_voltage(volt, force=False)— set PCR500MA output voltage with discrepancy check; force=True bypasses the checkramp_heater(volt, vstep=1)— ramp to target voltage in steps, with output-on guardset_to_0V_heater()— reset voltage setpoint to 0 V when output is OFFset_heater_output(output, force=False)— turn PCR500MA output on/off
