Month: 2025-02. Focused delivery in the Shepherd-BMS repo on improving core cell resistance estimation to enhance safety, accuracy, and reliability of battery management under varying operating conditions.

January 2025 monthly summary for Northeastern-Electric-Racing/Cerberus focusing on feature delivery, safety improvements, and driving performance. Delivered three core enhancements with strong technical and business impact, improving debugging efficiency, drive responsiveness, and brake safety.

For 2024-12, delivered a comprehensive LSM6DSO sensor driver for Northeastern-Electric-Racing/Embedded-Base, including initialization, register definitions, accelerometer/gyroscope data reading, FIFO management, and interrupt detection. The driver provides a robust, feature-rich interface that simplifies motion data acquisition and paves the way for reliable sensor fusion in control and telemetry subsystems. The work was finalized with commit bbfb6c525c1a757d03b43bb4c2a0293078537996 ("Updated driver (#213)").

2024-11 monthly summary for Northeastern-Electric-Racing/Shepherd-BMS: Delivered a DMA-based UART4 transmission feature by updating the _write function to leverage DMA, enabling higher-throughput UART transfers with less CPU intervention. This work enhances telemetry and control messaging performance under high data-rate scenarios while preserving compatibility with the existing UART workflow. Tracking and validation are tied to commit UART DMA (#137) (b659a6f5b7281e8f2ad7d377e0efc5865678c70b). Major bugs fixed: None reported in this scope. Overall impact: improved UART data throughput, reduced MCU load on the transmit path, and increased system responsiveness and reliability for real-time telemetry. Technologies/skills demonstrated: embedded DMA configuration, UART subsystem integration, firmware optimization, and clear commit-based traceability.
