Developed and integrated a cross-board heartbeat monitoring system for the Rivanna3 repository, focusing on reliable health checks and fault detection across Powerboard, WheelBoard, and TelemetryBoard. Leveraging C++ and embedded systems expertise, implemented a class-based HeartBeat library with CAN Bus communication, enabling periodic status messages, timeout management, and automated failure handling within the main control loop. The work included resolving compile-time issues, transitioning to object-oriented design, and ensuring stable deployment on the powerboard. These enhancements improved real-time system reliability and data integrity, providing proactive health monitoring and reducing the risk of undetected failures in a multi-board embedded environment.
March 2025: Implemented the HeartBeat System for inter-board health monitoring in Rivanna3, introducing a class-based HeartBeat library with CAN interface integration and main-loop adoption. This provides periodic health checks, timeout management, and automatic handling of board failures, enhancing fault detection and system resilience. The feature achieved a successful compile on the powerboard and is ready for broader deployment. Key commits guided the evolution from draft to stable release (initial draft, object-oriented rewrite, powerboard compilation, pointer bug fixes, API cleanup, and final merge stabilization).

February 2025 (Rivanna3): Implemented cross-board heartbeat signaling and timeout monitoring across Powerboard, WheelBoard, and TelemetryBoard; adapted WheelCANInterface to process HeartBeat messages; added timeout detection and periodic heartbeats to improve system health and reliability. Initial heartbeat integration faced compile-time errors, which were resolved through iterative fixes and alignment across commits, resulting in a robust heartbeat management layer and improved telemetry timing.
