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 design

At this stage in the project, we've discovered what the basic requirements for our test harness are going to be. Now, we are ready to dive deeper into the hardware and software architecture that is necessary to support the test harness. Just like in previous chapters, at this stage, we are going to start with an architecture that will then feed into a more detailed design that is then used in the construction phase. Remember, the architecture should be flexible so that we can deal with any changing requirements on the fly.

The test harness hardware architecture

The hardware architecture for our project requires just a few minor adjustments in order to support our test harness. These updates will provide...
