Worked on the cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard repository to enhance the reliability and maintainability of the motor drive subsystem, focusing on the DRV8235 driver. Used Python to refactor the driver for improved code readability and future extensibility, introducing explicit handling for the FORWARD throttle case to ensure safe operation. Developed voltage and current read helpers along with a CurrentAdapter to strengthen telemetry and diagnostics, supporting safer hardware interaction. Emphasized robust fault reporting and initialization routines, which reduced debugging effort for the team. The work established a stronger baseline for embedded systems development and streamlined ongoing maintenance of the hardware abstraction layer.
