Overview of this book

With the increasing complexity of embedded systems seen over the past few years, developers are looking for ways to manage them easily by solving problems without spending a lot of time on finding supported peripherals. MicroPython is an efficient and lean implementation of the Python 3 programming language, which is optimized to run on microcontrollers. MicroPython Projects will guide you in building and managing your embedded systems with ease. This book is a comprehensive project-based guide that will help you build a wide range of projects and give you the confidence to design complex projects spanning new areas of technology such as electronic applications, automation devices, and IoT applications. While building seven engaging projects, you'll learn how to enable devices to communicate with each other, access and control devices over a TCP/IP socket, and store and retrieve data. The complexity will increase progressively as you work on different projects, covering areas such as driver design, sensor interfacing, and MicroPython kernel customization. By the end of this MicroPython book, you'll be able to develop industry-standard embedded systems and keep up with the evolution of the Internet of Things.

Test harness requirements

There are several areas where we need to make careful considerations for our test harness. First, we need to consider the hardware requirements. When we develop our test harness, we may need to design and implement a hardware interface that will allow us to not just interact with the system but also verify various communication and control aspects of the software. This requires us to clearly define any additional hardware that will be required.

Second, we need to define what our software requirements will be. These include areas such as how the test harness will be executed, what's needed when it comes to reporting, and the language that will be used to execute our tests. In this section, we will explore these requirements and put together the requirements for the test harness that we will build to test our MicroPython code. Keep in mind that we...
