Hands-On Embedded Programming with C++17

Example – ESP8266 integration test

In this example project, we will look at creating an implementation of the Arduino-like APIs of the Sming framework, which we first looked at it in Chapter 5, Example - Soil Humidity Monitor with Wi-Fi. The goal of this is to provide a native framework implementation for desktop operating systems (OSes), allowing the firmware to be compiled to an executable and run locally.

In addition, we want to have simulated sensors and actuators that the firmware can connect to in order to read out environmental data and send data to actuators as part of the BMaC project, which we had a glimpse of in Chapter 5, Example - Soil Humidity Monitor with WiFi, and which we will look at in more detail in Chapter 9, Example - ...
