Developed and integrated an autonomous apogee detection system for the SunDevilRocketry/Flight-Computer-Firmware repository, enhancing flight control and parachute deployment reliability. The work centered on implementing a configurable C function to identify rocket apogee by monitoring consecutive decreases in barometric pressure, reducing false positives and improving mission autonomy. The developer extended the embedded finite-state machine with a dedicated apogee detection state and opcode, integrating this logic into the main flight loop to trigger post-apogee system transitions. Throughout the two-month period, the focus remained on embedded systems, firmware development, and state machine design, with careful validation and adherence to coding standards.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 Monthly Summary for SunDevilRocketry/Flight-Computer-Firmware. Delivered apogee detection capability for flight control and parachute deployment, improving mission reliability and safety in real-time operations. The work involved extending the embedded FSM with a dedicated apogee detection state and opcode, integrating the detection into the flight loop, and updating system state to post-apogee to trigger parachute deployment. Branch consolidation and integration tasks ensured a robust, production-ready flow. Technologies demonstrated include embedded C/C++, real-time finite-state machine design, flight control loop integration, and Git-based branch management with traceable commits.
