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.

Visualizer design

At this stage in the project, we've discovered what the requirements for the project are. We are now going to develop a hardware and software architecture. The best way to picture an architecture is through a map that is general enough to provide directions on where we need to head but does not provide enough details regarding how to restrict how we get there. The architecture should be flexible so that we can deal with any changing requirements on the fly.

For our purposes, we will use this section to explore the high-level architecture and then develop the detailed design that we can construct the project in the next section

The visualizer hardware architecture

As we mentioned earlier, there are two...
