PROFILE
John-paul Chouery
John-Paul Chouery developed and maintained embedded robotics software for the mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025 repository, focusing on power module integration, thruster test automation, and real-time UI status updates. He implemented ROS-based communication between microcontrollers and sensors using C++ and Arduino, enabling robust data acquisition and hardware control. His work included Docker-based test environments, sensor calibration workflows, and refactoring of legacy code to improve maintainability. By introducing change-detection in UI status displays and consolidating data publishing, John-Paul enhanced system reliability and operator visibility. His contributions demonstrated depth in embedded systems, ROS development, and build system configuration, supporting scalable, hardware-aligned validation.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025. Delivered real-time status updates on the main UI by introducing a ROS subscriber for status messages, with change-detection to avoid unnecessary refreshes and build integration for the display module. Conducted actuator subsystem cleanup: removed obsolete 2024_actuator code, fixed rosserial compilation issues, and aligned the test structure to prevent conflicts and improve maintainability. These changes boosted UI responsiveness, system reliability, and maintainability, while reducing build errors and enabling faster iteration for future features. Technologies demonstrated include ROS, rosserial, embedded C/C++, and CI/build integration. Business value: clearer, more reliable status visibility for operators; easier onboarding and future feature work; reduced maintenance overhead.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 performance summary for mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025: Delivered an integrated thruster test framework with ROS coordination and hardware I/O, enabling end-to-end testing of thruster commands and thrust data. Implemented HX711_ADC-based sensor integration with calibration for a thruster force sensor and ROS publishing. Consolidated data reporting by publishing all sensor and thruster data as a single Float32MultiArray with configurable sensing via defines and improved initialization robustness. Resolved a critical syntax bug in main.cpp and ensured reliable publishing of thruster force to ROS topics. Added hardware interface improvements (button circuitry and pin definitions) to support robust test scenarios. These efforts enhance testing reliability, accelerate iteration cycles, and provide a clear data pathway for performance evaluation.
