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.

Summary

In this chapter, we defined a simple test project that allowed us to expand the I/O capabilities of the pyboard while gaining experience in developing drivers. We integrated these drivers together to control an RGB LED pushbutton, whose color status was controlled by pressing the button. Throughout this chapter, we also discussed the software development life cycle and have been trying to adhere to its principles and major stages to ensure that we create a robust project.

In the next chapter, we are going to explore how we can create a test harness to fully test and integrate drivers. We will be leveraging the drivers that we just created in this chapter to develop and test our harness.
