Erik developed and maintained the Pax repository over four months, delivering 35 features and resolving 9 bugs focused on IoT firmware, sensor integration, and system reliability. He implemented motion-activated lighting and room activity indicators using Arduino and C++, expanded networking with Ethernet and WiFi, and integrated environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, and air quality. Erik enhanced calibration workflows with EEPROM persistence and serial configuration, while maintaining code quality through refactoring, documentation, and Doxygen-based tooling. His work balanced backend API alignment, modular code organization, and operational reliability, resulting in a maintainable, well-documented embedded system for responsive, energy-efficient automation scenarios.

April 2025 focused on building a robust, maintainable foundation for Pax, with modular components, improved networking capabilities, and clearer documentation. Key features shipped include a PlatformIO project setup with a cleaned build flow, a new MeasurementState module with documented API and proper file organization, and expanded networking capabilities (Ethernet integration, refined networking_base, and network test hooks). An LED-based room activity indicator, plus essential docs (README WiFi setup and Version 0.1 schematic) were added. Several reliability improvements were completed: git cache refresh to respect .gitignore, baud rate correction in PlatformIO, and improved logging and WiFi connection flow, all contributing to faster, safer deployment. These changes collectively increase system reliability, observability, and readiness for next features, enabling faster time-to-market and better operational insight.

March 2025: Delivered a proof-of-concept motion-activated lighting feature for the Pax project using a PIR sensor and Arduino sketch. The solution turns on an LED when motion is detected and maintains illumination for a defined duration, enabling low-power, responsive lighting. The work was executed in the Pax repository with a testable commit, establishing a reusable hardware-software prototype for motion-detection scenarios and a foundation for energy-efficient automation.
