PROFILE
Yash Karandikar
Worked on the ECLAIR-Robotics/crackle repository, delivering features across embedded systems, audio processing, and DevOps. Developed a Python-based FindPeaks tool for automated sensor data analysis and upgraded ESP32 audio systems with multi-microphone input, raw ADC sampling, and improved localization. Enhanced sensor data acquisition by optimizing ADC timing and exposing raw readings for flexible integration. Established a foundational ROS 2 Python package for audio serial communication, supporting future data pipeline expansion. Improved Linux-based ROS 2 Humble environment setup using Bash and shell scripting, consolidating package management and automating onboarding. Addressed configuration reliability, resulting in more robust diagnostics and streamlined development workflows.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (2025-02) - Delivered foundational Audio Serial Reader package in ECLAIR-Robotics/crackle and a ROS 2 Python node. Key work includes creating the 'audio_serial_reader' package, establishing its basic structure, configuration files, and initial linting tests to enable future audio serial communication interfaces. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: provides a scalable starting point for audio data ingestion and inter-node communication, reducing integration risk for upcoming features. Technologies demonstrated: ROS 2, Python, package scaffolding, linting/test automation, and configuration management. Business value: accelerates next feature delivery and strengthens the robotics platform's data pipeline.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for ECLAIR-Robotics/crackle. Key feature delivered: Sensor Data Acquisition Timing Optimization and Raw ADC Exposure. Implemented a shift from 12-bit to 9-bit ADC resolution, removed hardcoded delays, and added timing measurement between ADC reads to enable dynamic timing. Exposed raw ADC readings (voltage conversion commented out) to simplify data interpretation and support improved sensor range handling. This work is captured in commit b085ab66120ba1674a71c57cbbbb7395944ad643. Resulting impact includes improved timing accuracy, greater flexibility for sensor integration, and a foundation for more reliable sensor fusion and data quality.
