Shir Horowitz developed automation and embedded systems features for the Automation_Course_2025B repository, focusing on both software tooling and hardware integration. Over three months, Shir delivered a Python-based binary-hexadecimal conversion utility with input validation and a menu-driven interface, streamlining number system tasks for course participants. They also implemented a motion-activated flag-swinging system using Arduino, integrating microcontrollers, motion sensors, and servo control to create an interactive demonstration. Throughout, Shir maintained strong version-control hygiene, managed course asset scaffolding, and addressed repository cleanup. Their work demonstrated depth in Python scripting, embedded systems, and file management, supporting both instructional needs and hands-on learning.

For 2025-06, Automation_Course_2025B delivered an end-to-end hardware-software feature and improved repository hygiene. The motion-activated flag-swinging system (Arduino) was implemented with a button-initiated countdown, motion sensor, servo-driven flag movement, and feedback via buzzer and LEDs. A major bug fix involved removing a stray temporary file 'tmp' in EX3/Group16 to restore repository hygiene. Overall, this work enhances hands-on capabilities, improves build reliability, and strengthens project state management. Demonstrated technologies include embedded firmware (Arduino), hardware integration (motion sensor, servo, buzzer, LEDs), and disciplined version control and documentation.

April 2025: Key contributions across the Automation_Course_2025B repo focused on delivering a robust binary/hex conversion tool, preparing course assets, and cleaning up scaffolding to support upcoming Group16 tasks. These efforts improved tool reliability for learners, accelerated course material readiness, and tightened repository hygiene. The revamp replaced the legacy converter with a Python-based solution supporting binary/hex conversions, including fractional parts, with a user-friendly menu and removal of the deprecated module. EX2 assets: created placeholders and final PDFs/GXW to enable starter materials, with cleanup after setup. EX1 scaffolding: created Group16 directory structure, cleaned up unused resources, and prepared for Group16 work.
