During a two-month period, Pranav Patel developed and enhanced a Health Check and Watchdog Monitoring System for the waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards repository. He focused on improving system reliability and observability by implementing robust watchdog timers, task and current monitoring, and CAN-based error reporting using C and C++. Pranav ensured full unit test coverage and stabilized the build and test infrastructure, addressing build errors and enforcing code formatting standards. His work included refining FreeRTOS task signatures, introducing fail-fast health checks, and simplifying code for maintainability. These contributions resulted in faster fault detection, improved build stability, and reduced maintenance overhead for embedded firmware.
