Developing a Remote Sensor Firmware using Test Driven Development

Posted on by smayze

Developing firmware for an embedded remote sensor that needs to adhere to a specific protocol has challenges due to the limited resources and the complexity of the implementation. Experience on a previous project (a remote sensor gateway) demonstrated how Test Driven Development could assist when working on complex systems. This write-up describes the approach used … Continue reading Developing a Remote Sensor Firmware using Test Driven Development

Creating a Gateway Node using XBee and Test Driven Development

Posted on by smayze

Remote sensors are only one component of a much larger system. If the information they collect is to land on the internet somewhere, then there needs to be some type of bridge or gateway. In this post I take a look at using Test Driven Development (TDD) to create a simple gateway node. It is … Continue reading Creating a Gateway Node using XBee and Test Driven Development

Trying out the INA219

Posted on by smayze

I have been looking into developing a device to monitor a solar charging unit. This would be a remote sensor and relay the information back to a base to be presented on a user interface. There are a lot of elements to this type of project and one problem I have been thinking about was … Continue reading Trying out the INA219
