Josh contributed to the masa-umich/Rocket-Avionics repository by developing a Valve Load Monitoring feature for the flight computer. He implemented the isOpenLoad function in the valve driver using C, enabling the system to detect valve open and under-load conditions by reading the enable pin. This approach leveraged his skills in embedded systems and hardware interaction to enhance the flight computer’s ability to monitor valve load states, supporting improved safety and diagnostics. Although the work focused on a single feature over one month, it demonstrated careful attention to reliability and maintainability, resulting in traceable, well-scoped changes that improved system observability.
