2024-11 Monthly Summary — Cyclone-Robosub Propulsion (PROPULSION_2024_CPP) What was delivered: - Replaced placeholder PWM logic with a data-driven mapping for Thruster_Commander using CSV data and linear interpolation, enabling more accurate and repeatable throttle-to-PWM translation. - Implemented CSV-driven computation path and integrated with the existing propulsion control loop, ensuring runtime robustness and easier calibration updates. Key changes and commits: - 8cc60a0243607c938045a64951d052b6900a7cc4: PWM value changes to UPDATED master version (data-driven PWM mapping implemented) - 1c6bf914fe84b16548866f549ed0b08432e6c02f: Updating the test values for the PWM function test (test stabilization for new mapping) What was not broken: - No critical bugs reported; focus remained on feature delivery and test stabilization. Existing propulsion control interface remains backward-compatible with the updated PWM mapping. Impact and business value: - Improves propulsion control accuracy and predictability, reducing risk during missions and enabling finer throttle control based on real data. The change simplifies future calibration, as updates to the CSV mapping automatically propagate through the control logic. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C++ implementation, CSV parsing, linear interpolation, data-driven control, test-driven development, and Git-based change management. Overall assessment: - Strong month delivering a robust feature that adds resilience and precision to propulsion control with clear, test-backed commits."
