Maya Posch is a senior C++ developer with more than 15 years of experience. Discovering the joys of programming early on, and later the joys of electronics, she has always expressed a profound interest in technology, a passion that she gladly shares with others. Describing herself as a C developer who happens to like C++ and Ada, she likes to seek the limits of what can be done with the minimum of code and hardware to accomplish everything that is cool, new, and exciting. She also enjoys FPGA development, AI, and robotics research, in addition to creative writing, music, and drawing.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how to take a simple ESP8266-based project from theory and simple requirements to a functioning design with a versatile firmware and a collection of input and output options, using which we can ensure that a connected plant gets just the right amount of water to stay healthy. We also saw how to set up a development environment for the ESP8266.

The reader should now be able to create projects for the ESP8266, program the MCU with new firmware, and have a solid grasp on both the strengths and limitations of this development platform.

In the next chapter, we will be looking at how to test embedded software written for SoCs and other large, embedded platforms.
