Anika Maheshwari contributed to the ISSUIUC/ISS-PCB repository over three months, focusing on hardware feature development and documentation for sensor integration and power management. She enhanced the Mini-MK1 board by integrating barometer and magnetometer components, improving schematic clarity and onboarding documentation using KiCad and schematic design skills. Her work included power-path simplification, reset reliability upgrades, and space optimization for the Pyro board, leveraging circuit and electronics engineering expertise. By updating symbol libraries and refining board layouts, Anika reduced design ambiguity, improved measurement reliability, and streamlined the bill of materials, enabling faster iteration and more maintainable hardware development workflows.

Nov 1, 20252025-11 monthly hardware sprint for ISS-PCB focused on sensor strategy upgrade and power-path simplification. Delivered magnetometer integration on Mini-MK1 with a switch from BNO, enhanced magnetometer circuitry (capacitors, footprints) and schematic annotations to improve reliability and testability. Completed MAX board integration with updated connections, global signal enablement, and pin-name cleanup, removing the undervoltage supervisor to streamline the design and BOM. No critical bugs reported; integration blockers resolved through design changes and better documentation. Overall impact includes higher measurement accuracy, improved system reliability, reduced BOM and manufacturing complexity, and clearer maintenance paths. Demonstrated skills in hardware integration, PCB layout, power management, sensor fusion readiness, and thorough documentation."

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 ISS-PCB monthly summary: Key features delivered include power management and reset enhancements for Mini-MK1 (Undervoltage Supervisor and UV_Reset) to improve circuit protection and reset reliability, a smaller expander design for the Pyro board to save space, and substantial KiCad symbol/library improvements (MAX symbol, copied Pyro channels, updated labels, current limit switch, and Interface Expander Texas symbol). Major bugs fixed focused on undervoltage protection and reset stability. Overall impact includes enhanced hardware safety, space-efficient designs, and accelerated development cycles through better tooling and maintainability. Technologies demonstrated span power-management design, embedded hardware safety, PCB design optimization, KiCad symbol/library engineering, and robust version-controlled workflows.
