Developed and integrated a complete wheel speed sensing feature for the UWaterloo-Formula-Electric/firmware repository, enabling real-time vehicle speed telemetry. Leveraged C to program a Hall effect sensor for wheel speed measurement, utilizing GPIO external interrupts and timer-based encoder input for accurate pulse detection. Designed a real-time operating system task to compute both RPM and KMH, transmitting results over the CAN bus for use in traction control and data logging. Updated CAN DBC definitions and project configuration files to support the new data flow. Demonstrated depth in embedded systems, CAN bus communication, and sensor integration, focusing on robust feature delivery.
