July 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivering critical low-level embedded functionality, stabilizing code state, and aligning frontend/backend components for reliable operation. Highlights include a new RX path with interrupt-driven, semaphore-based receive for CC1201, code cleanup to restore compilable state, and backend queue synchronization improvements that align frontend behavior with the backend’s command_queue. The work enhances data integrity, system responsiveness, and maintainability across the UVicSatelliteDesign repository suite.

June 2025 Highlights for UVicSatelliteDesign/COMP_SLIP-OBC: Delivered an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) backbone to enable robust coordination between system components through a message queue and a binary semaphore. This included the addition of necessary headers and the creation of synchronization objects in main to support cross-component communication and coordination. In addition, improved code readability and stability by documenting variable declarations and resolving a merge conflict in obc.c, addressing integration issues and reducing future maintenance risk.

March 2025 — UVicSatelliteDesign/COMP_SLIP-OBC: Stabilized the development environment and clarified project scope by undoing earlier changes that introduced non-essential tracking and a battery monitoring feature. Key outcomes include improved build reproducibility and a leaner codebase, setting the stage for focused OBC deliverables.
