During February 2025, Dong Cai developed a packet read and decode interface for the ENS160Sensor within the ASU-ASCEND/Spring-2025 repository. This feature enabled the sensor to collect air quality data, including AQI, TVOC, and ECO2, serialize it into byte packets, and decode it into CSV-formatted strings for reliable downstream transmission. Working primarily in C++ and focusing on embedded systems and data serialization, Dong emphasized clean integration and maintainable code, with all changes tracked through version control. The work improved data fidelity and interoperability, supporting real-time analytics and dashboarding, and demonstrated depth in sensor integration and packet-based data transport.
