Ava-vandamme

Worked on the UCSD_BMES_PT_2024-25_HeartSim repository, delivering five features over four months focused on embedded systems and hardware interaction. Developed Arduino-based modules including a water flow rate measurement system using interrupt-driven pulse counting and a non-blocking, time-based stepper motor control for improved concurrency. Enhanced project maintainability through codebase refactoring and improved onboarding with clear documentation updates in Markdown. Integrated button-controlled LED functionality to increase user interactivity and updated test suites to reflect new control logic. Emphasized maintainable, modular design using Arduino and C++, with a focus on real-time data processing, sensor integration, and reliable hardware control.

May 2025 Monthly Summary for UCSD_BMES_PT_2024-25_HeartSim: Delivered a non-blocking, time-based stepper motor control feature, enabling concurrent operations and improved system responsiveness. Refactored control logic to a time-aware scheduler with explicit state, timing, and step-count management, replacing blocking loops and facilitating integration with other subsystems. Updated tests to reflect the new non-blocking behavior (commit 75bfb94047d65f9c9a6efb6a53ef3d7c9c4ab51a). No major bugs reported this month; the focus was on feature delivery, reliability, and maintainability. Overall impact includes better hardware control reliability, smoother multi-task operation, and clearer maintenance paths for future motor-control features. Technologies/skills demonstrated include non-blocking design, state-machine reasoning, time-based scheduling, concurrency, and test-driven development.

March 2025 monthly summary for d3moore2002/UCSD_BMES_PT_2024-25_HeartSim. Key feature delivered: an Arduino-based Water Flow Rate Measurement System that counts pulses from a flow sensor via an interrupt to compute frequency and flow rate (L/min), with calibration constants supporting multiple sensor models. The feature was integrated into the project by updating Combined_Components.ino (commit 31b6bec84ae0541e631f68093c9ba38c3fb471d4). No major bugs fixed this month. Overall, this work enhances measurement accuracy and automates data capture, improving experimental repeatability and overall lab efficiency. Technologies/skills demonstrated include embedded systems (Arduino), interrupt-driven sensor interfacing, real-time data processing, sensor calibration, and version control integration.
