hwtest 0.0.1

A framework for testing hardware

Setup

pip install hatch

Running Tests

hatch run cov

Running Examples

hatch run examples/network.py

Using InfluxDB

hwtest includes an InfluxDB telemetry logger. If you choose to use this, make sure you have InfluxDB configured by following the setup guide. Be sure to install version 2+, as that's the API the logger uses.

You'll also need to create an org and access token inside the InfluxDB UI (accessible via http://localhost:8086/ if running locally). The logger creates the InfluxDB client using environment variables for configuration. Specifically, you'll need to set at least INFLUXDB_V2_ORG and INFLUXDB_V2_TOKEN.

To test your configuration, run:

hatch run examples/influxdb.py

This should write 10 datapoints to the bucket named network-example.

You can also try the subprocess driver example, which runs the same test as the influxdb.py example, but attempts to log telemetry at 50 Hz in the background while running the test.

Distributing hwtest

You may need to distribute a copy of hwtest to customers so they can run tests against your hardware. In order to create packages you can distribute, run

hatch build

This will create a hwtest-*.whl file under a dist/ directory. This will include just the source code, not any examples, tests, or documentation. This .whl file can be installed on another machine with pip install filename.whl. You don't need hatch to use the .whl file.
