Contributed to the embedded-purdue/slayterHIL repository by developing interactive dashboards and automated test data generators to streamline flight path validation in hardware-in-the-loop environments. Leveraged Python and JavaScript frameworks to create 3D visualizations and custom test input features, enabling real-time inspection of hover, circular, step, and trapezoidal flight scenarios. Enhanced the testing framework with structured JSON data modeling and automated scripts, supporting regression coverage and reducing manual validation effort. Improved onboarding through Markdown-based documentation and maintained project health by removing obsolete tests. This work accelerated development cycles, improved test reliability, and provided clear visibility into flight dynamics simulation and dashboard results.
April 2026 - embedded-purdue/slayterHIL: Delivered an interactive dashboard enhancement for test visualization and custom test input, enabling real-time, multi-type test inspection. Implemented new tabs for Hover, Circular, Step, and Trapezoidal tests with 3D visualizers and command outputs; added a dedicated div for custom test input and updated the HTML script version. Fixed tab rendering issues to stabilize the visualization flow and integrated hover test data for richer dashboard interactions. Overall, these improvements streamline test setup and debugging, enabling faster development cycles and clearer visibility into test performance across hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
