Apr 1, 2025April 2025 – CU-Robotics/firmware: Completed foundational data-model refactor for transmitter data, improved precision, and standardized naming to prepare for future transmitter integrations. Implemented a codebase-wide rename from DR16Data to TransmitterData, migrated velocity components to float for higher accuracy, and aligned naming (dr16_pos_y -> transmitter_pos_y) to reduce confusion and enable smoother hardware integration. These changes reduce maintenance burden, minimize data-type risks, and position the firmware for easier extension to additional transmitter types.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for CU-Robotics firmware. Key features delivered include the ET16S Remote Control System Integration with sensor/input mapping, channel configuration, and connection status handling, enabling precise control mappings for sticks, switches, dials, and wheels along with getter functions for input channels. Also implemented safety API naming clarification by renaming get_safety to get_safety_switch and updating references for clarity. Major stability improvements were achieved by resolving a merge conflict in main.cpp, reverting unintended changes to main.cpp/docs, and stabilizing the codebase. These efforts improve remote operation fidelity, API clarity, and repository stability, enabling safer deployments and faster development cycles. Technologies demonstrated include C++ firmware development, input handling and mapping, enum casting for input values, git-based code hygiene, and PR/review discipline.
