Actually, most of the API is for communicating with external hardware.
Because of this, the only realistic way of testing much of the API is
to actively test it interacting with the hardware. We can't script the
external hardware, and local code tests would block infinitely until
the hardware was connected and initiated by hand. As such, for most of
the code unit tests don't make any sense (even though it's Java, this
is some really low-level hardware communication work, with several
protocol stacks and the like implemented).
