Nov 1, 2024November 2024 performance summary for CU-Robotics/firmware: Focused on stability, maintainability, and cross-platform readiness. Delivered code hygiene improvements (ref reading formatting), introduced testing scaffolding and enhanced console messaging for faster validation, established a motor control framework (base class, unified motor state, per-motor initialization, safety features, and std::map-based refactor), advanced cross-driver groundwork (C620 work with docs, C610 support, MG read function, and C6x read improvements), and built tooling plus documentation (build debug file generation and Doxygen docs). These efforts reduce debugging time, improve reliability, and position the firmware for rapid feature iteration and cross-platform deployment.
