Jshepherd06

Worked on the CURocketEngineering/Avionics repository, delivering enhancements to avionics simulation, power management, and attitude estimation systems over four months. Focused on stabilizing launch detection and state transitions in simulation, improving battery voltage handling and post-launch flows, and overhauling the AHRS and OrientationEstimator modules for more reliable sensor fusion and orientation updates. Applied C++ and Python to refine algorithm implementation, data processing, and embedded systems integration, while expanding test coverage and updating documentation for maintainability. Emphasized code quality through refactoring, explicit type handling, and removal of magic numbers, supporting safer, more robust avionics software across multiple flight phases.

January 2026 monthly summary for CURocketEngineering/Avionics: Implemented simulation reliability improvements to stabilize launch detection, state transitions, and data streaming. Reverted prior simulation changes and updated statemachine logic to ensure deterministic behavior across launches. Adjusted CSV data path for data collection to ensure accurate streaming on the second launch, reducing data gaps and misalignment in test runs. These changes enhance simulation fidelity, reduce debugging time, and support more reliable validation cycles.
