Cameron Bannasch developed and enhanced embedded telemetry and radio communication systems for the formulaslug/fs-3 repository over four months. He implemented features such as real-time GPIO state reporting via UART, a modular XBee radio library with AT command support, and robust data packetization for large payloads. Using C++, CMake, and shell scripting, Cameron automated build and deployment workflows, integrated radio modules with timer-based updates, and reorganized the SDCard filesystem for maintainability. He also addressed hardware-software integration by refining SPI communication and packet handling, resulting in improved telemetry data reliability. His work demonstrated depth in embedded systems and code organization.

August 2025 monthly summary for formulaslug/fs-3: Focused on stabilizing telemetry data reception on the receiver board by applying a reliability fix that adjusts SPI communication pins and refines packet handling to ensure correct data reception and processing of telemetry data. The change was implemented as a targeted fix (commit c8280d99e213e466d0dcc682ad1c13add79df558).

June 2025 monthly summary for formulaslug/fs-3: Delivered core telemetry enhancements and build improvements across the XBee-enabled telemetry stack. Implemented robust data packetization and out-of-order handling to support large payloads. Integrated the radio library into the telemetry system with timer-based updates, modernized the build by linking the radio as a static library, and extended XBeeRadio with new AT commands and config options to improve configurability and throughput. Established the Telemetry-Main project with CMake configurations and an executable, performed targeted code cleanup, and reorganized the SDCard filesystem for better maintainability and deployment readiness.
