PROFILE
Chris Mcgalliard
Contributed to the PurdueElectricRacing/firmware repository by developing and refining embedded systems features focused on electric vehicle control. Built an automated motor control module with robust initialization, state management, and CAN bus integration for real-time status updates. Enhanced debugging and synchronization by enabling MCO1 clock output on STM32 microcontrollers. Modernized CAN protocol handling and streamlined fault management, including updates to fault IDs and CAN filter configurations. Improved startup reliability through IMU initialization retries and parameter handling adjustments. Leveraged C programming, CAN bus communication, and microcontroller programming to deliver maintainable, safety-focused firmware that supports evolving requirements in vehicle control systems.
