Matt Levasseur developed and enhanced the embedded display and testing systems for the mcgill-robotics/auv-embedded-2025 repository over a two-month period. He integrated ROS data streams to visualize battery and sensor status, implemented direct thruster control, and introduced a dry-run mode to enable safe testing and operator awareness. Leveraging C++ and microcontroller programming, Matt upgraded the display library to improve compatibility with the Adafruit ecosystem while maintaining initialization stability. His work focused on robust library integration, real-time sensor feedback, and risk-managed upgrades, resulting in a more maintainable, testable, and reliable interface for autonomous underwater vehicle field deployments.

March 2025 — Delivered a comprehensive enhancement to the AUV on-device display by integrating ROS data streams for battery and sensor readings, visualizing thruster status, and enabling direct thruster control. Implemented a new battery display, dry-run/test mode, and updated libraries to support graphical output, sensing, and safe testing. Core components were added for thruster control and peripheral functionality, with iterative code updates and library adjustments to improve testing stability and maintainability. The work increases operator situational awareness, reduces risk during testing, and accelerates validation cycles for field deployments.
