Worked on the UVicSatelliteDesign/COMP_SLIP-OBC repository to deliver robust telemetry and data logging features for an embedded on-board computer. Developed end-to-end sensor data acquisition and GPS integration using C, focusing on reliable UART communication and memory management. Built a modular flash interface for structured storage of sensor, battery, and GPS telemetry, introducing explicit memory sizing to prevent buffer overruns and improve data integrity. Enhanced maintainability through comprehensive documentation, header refactoring, and migration of variables for better code reuse. The work enabled safer, faster telemetry collection and streamlined future development, supporting mission readiness and reliable hardware interaction in embedded systems.
August 2025 Monthly Summary for UVicSatelliteDesign/COMP_SLIP-OBC: Implemented a critical Data Logging Memory Sizing Fix that defines byte-lengths for sensors, battery, and GPS data. By initializing FLASH_MEMORY_SIZE_SENSORS as the size of SensorsData, FLASH_MEMORY_SIZE_BATTERY as the size of BatteryData, and setting FLASH_MEMORY_SIZE_GPS to 79 bytes, the change clarifies memory footprint and prevents buffer overruns, enabling reliable telemetry logging. The fix was committed as f5032bf180f6e8d6e63bb33bfc1054b165f506c9 with message 'defines data length in bytes'. This work improves data integrity, reduces maintenance risk, and supports future data-rate planning.

July 2025 performance summary for UVicSatelliteDesign/COMP_SLIP-OBC focused on building a robust data storage and telemetry foundation, modernizing GPS integration, and improving maintainability and documentation. Key work delivered includes foundational flash interface scaffolding with memory address handling and I/O hooks, refactoring GPS API for clearer success signaling and updated UART usage, and a suite of data-logging capabilities for battery and GPS telemetry. In addition, substantial header/file maintenance, memory management utilities, and migration of user-defined variables to headers were completed to improve code reuse and future development speed. Small but meaningful improvements include hex-formatted prefixes for serial messages to improve log readability and consistency with the flash interface. Overall impact: enhanced data integrity, reliability of GPS reporting, better diagnosability, and a leaner path for future instrumentation and feature work. Business value: faster, safer telemetry collection and easier maintenance, enabling more informed decision-making and quicker iteration cycles.
