Worked on the machworksvt/machpilot repository to accelerate testing readiness and enhance telemetry capabilities for embedded systems. Developed a new ROS2 modem receiver node in C++ to interface with the RFD900x system, establishing a serial connection and laying the foundation for MAVSDK-based telemetry integration. Improved telemetry by refining battery status reporting, including adjustments to sending timers and the addition of a MAVLink BATTERY_STATUS receiver for logging and decoding. Updated CMake configurations to ensure proper linkage between MAVSDK and ROS 2 components. Incidental fixes to node configuration and build scripts contributed to improved stability and maintainability throughout the codebase.
