Testing the test bench webapp without physical serial hardware can be done with the following steps:

• Install the socat utility to use create_pty.sh
• create_pty.sh creates two fake serial ports using pseudo-teletypes
• test.py sends test JSON payloads to one of the two fake serial ports
• app.py needs to be configured to connect to the other fake serial port

Setting up development environment

• virtualenv -p python3 env
• source env/bin/activate
• pip install -r requirements.txt

Running TestBench

• python app.py
• Development web server will be started at localhost:5000 by default.
