Worked on the waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards repository to deliver a robust magnetometer data path and hardware integration for embedded systems. Focused on STM32 microcontrollers, the work involved developing and refining device drivers in C and C++, implementing non-blocking I/O, DMA, and BDMA support to optimize sensor data retrieval and reduce CPU load. The approach emphasized code maintainability through refactoring, code formatting, and unit testing, while also improving system reliability with safer I2C and interrupt handling. These efforts resulted in more predictable sensor readouts, streamlined initialization, and a codebase that supports faster onboarding and future feature development in embedded firmware.

Jun 1, 2026June 2026 performance update for waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards: Implemented core sensor initialization, stability hardening around DMA/I2C, and codebase hygiene to improve reliability and maintenance. This month delivered robust magnetometer/I2C4 startup, safer DMA-bound I2C interactions, data handling refactor to get_data with i2c.h, BDMA restoration, and unit test coverage, alongside logging, naming conventions, and CubeMX maintenance. Business value: more predictable sensor readouts, faster issue diagnosis, easier onboarding, and a stronger foundation for next features.
