Docs release. No library or functional changes since v1.0.1 — this adds a new bench capture to the "Skippi in the Wild" gallery in the README.

What's new

  • Power-off / bare-coil capture (freewheel diode removed): pulling the supply from the − side of the bulk caps isolates the coil, so the collapsing field rings unclamped. Single-shot on CH2 falling edge; vertical stepped to 100 V/div to clear clipping.
  • Measured true peaks: −436 V kick, +240 V overshoot (~676 Vpp) off a 24 V rail — about 18× the supply — vs the diode-clamped ~24.7 V case.
