pybolator

PyBoard emulator

Note

early development state

Features

• Allows minor testing of micropython code without an actual pyboard.
• Simulate hardware interaction from a script.
• Contains Pins configuration.

Usage

Include the following import command to avoid the need of a pyboard:

import <path-to-file>.pybolator.pyboard as pyb

One can actually have a simple API to interface the pyboard commands. In such case it is suggested to use the following import command:

try:

import pyb

except:

import <path-to-file>.pybolator.pyboard as pyb print("Run pyb as mock.")

This will import pyb (when on a pyboard) and mock it everywhere else.

Scope

I wanted test my micropython scripts for a pyboard without the actual hardware. Although there is a similar project that actually emulates a pyboard (https://github.com/alej0varas/pybolator), it was outside the scope of my testint (at that moment).
