Anthony Liu developed a comprehensive upgrade to the Orbis steering encoder interface in the hytech-racing/VCF repository, focusing on embedded systems and C++ programming with Arduino. He introduced a self-calibrating mechanism and robust error handling to ensure precise steering angle readings, addressing reliability and safety in dynamic environments. The work included a new sampling task and a refined SteeringEncoderInterface, improving data acquisition from digital sensors. Anthony also stabilized serial communication and updated platform configurations to resolve CAN-related issues. Through collaborative development and extensive testing, he established a maintainable, production-ready baseline that streamlines calibration and supports future enhancements in hardware interfacing.
