PROFILE
Jackie
Worked on the ISS-PCB repository over four months, delivering four hardware features and one bug fix focused on schematic and PCB design. Applied skills in hardware engineering, schematic capture, and PCB layout using KiCad to integrate new components such as ADC expanders and stepper drivers, improve power management, and enhance signal integrity. Addressed hardware reliability by adding pull-up resistors, optimizing grounding, and correcting ESP32 power connections. Maintained clear commit traceability for all changes, enabling straightforward validation and future iteration. The work emphasized robust hardware integration and manufacturability, with each update supporting more reliable operation and streamlined hardware development workflows.

Nov 1, 2024In 2024-11, ISS-PCB delivered a MIDAS-MK2-Pyro hardware design update, improving power management and signal integrity. The schematic was updated to connect DRDY to a GPIO expander and to add dedicated power isolation components, enhancing interaction between DRDY-driven peripherals and power rails. These changes strengthen power integrity and reduce cross-talk, enabling more robust pyro sensing/control workflows. The update is tracked via a single commit for traceability: 251522147bdc363a7fd450da5421f8d350d4fc31.
