# TSM_PicoW_Sensor
This project utilizes the Raspberry Pi Pico W board to measure data (humidity and temperature) and publish these values to an MQTT broker.
## Project Overview
The TSM_PicoW_Sensor firmware collects sensor data and publishes it to an MQTT broker over Wi-Fi. The configuration is flexible and can be updated at runtime using a serial terminal. The project supports automated testing, including remote execution via a J-Link tunnel.
---
## CI/CD
> **Note:** The automated test job in the CI pipeline is currently commented out because a Pico W board is not always available. To enable automated testing, uncomment the test job in the CI configuration and ensure a J-Link tunnel is set up as described below.
---
## Target Configuration
The device parameters (Wi-Fi credentials, MQTT broker, topics, etc.) are stored in flash memory and can be configured via a serial terminal (baud rate: **115200**). After updating any parameter, restart the device to apply changes.
### Wi-Fi Setup
Set the Wi-Fi SSID and password using the following commands:
```shell
McuMinINI write settings.ini WiFi ssid "YOUR_SSID"
McuMinINI write settings.ini WiFi pass "YOUR_PASSWORD"
```
### MQTT Setup
Configure the MQTT broker and authentication:
```shell
McuMinINI write settings.ini MQTT broker "BROKER_NAME"
McuMinINI write settings.ini MQTT user "USERNAME"
McuMinINI write settings.ini MQTT pass "PASSWORD"
```
Set the MQTT topic names:
```shell
McuMinINI write settings.ini MQTT topic_sensor_update "<user>/<room>/<device>/update"
McuMinINI write settings.ini MQTT topic_send_measurement "<user>/<room>/<device>/cmd/measure"
```

## Build Instructions
The project uses CMake presets for different build configurations: **Debug**, **Release**, and **Test**.
### Configure the Project
Here are the avalaible cmake presets:
```shell
cmake --preset Debug
cmake --preset Release
cmake --preset Test
```
### Build the Project
Here are the build options:
```shell
cmake --build --preset app-debug
cmake --build --preset app-release
cmake --build --preset app-test
```
## Running Tests
The project supports running tests both locally and remotely. Remote testing is useful for CI pipelines or when the hardware is not directly connected to your development machine.
### Remote Test Execution
To execute tests on a target connected to another machine (e.g., in a CI/CD environment):
#### 1. On the Host Machine (with the Pico W board)
Start a J-Link Remote Server with tunneling enabled:
```shell
JLinkRemoteServerCL -UseTunnel -TunnelBySN
```
Sample output:
```
2025-06-04 08:43:57 - Remote Server started
2025-06-04 08:43:57 - Connected to J-Link with S/N 801000372
2025-06-04 08:43:57 - Resolving tunnel server name (jlink-europe.segger.com)...
2025-06-04 08:43:57 - Tunnel server IP: 185.162.249.2
2025-06-04 08:43:57 - Registered at tunnel server
2025-06-04 08:43:57 - Waiting for client connection
```
The serial number (e.g., `801000372`) is your **tunnel ID**.
#### 2. On the Development/CI Machine
Configure CMake to use the tunnel ID:
```shell
cmake --preset Test -DTUNNEL_ID=801000372
```
When you run the tests, they will be executed on the remote host machine where the Pico W board is connected.
