Over a three-month period, contributed to the embedded-purdue/slayterHIL repository by developing and enhancing sensor emulation and testing infrastructure for embedded systems. Built a LiDAR emulator using C and I2C communication to simulate distance measurements, enabling hardware-in-the-loop testing without physical devices. Advanced the architecture with a thread-based sensor emulation system, introducing lock-free triple buffering and full-duplex SPI protocols to improve data integrity and determinism. Delivered features such as SPI driver test coverage, a real-time test automation dashboard using C++ and JavaScript, and robust PWM capture for embedded control, focusing on validation, telemetry, and accelerating release cycles through automated workflows.
Concise monthly summary for April 2026: Three features delivered for embedded-purdue/slayterHIL focused on test coverage, real-time monitoring, and embedded control robustness. No major bugs fixed this month; efforts centered on strengthening validation, telemetry, and PWM/RC handling to reduce risk and accelerate release cycles.

March 2026 monthly summary for embedded-purdue/slayterHIL focusing on sensor emulation enhancements and IMU data handling. Implemented a new thread-based sensor emulation architecture, strengthened clock synchronization and handshaking, added a full-duplex SPI protocol with length-prefixed framing to ensure reliable data transmission, and introduced a lock-free triple buffer for IMU data to prevent data corruption during concurrent access. Overall impact: Significantly increased data integrity, determinism, and throughput of sensor emulation. This enables more deterministic tests, reduces risk of data races, and paves the way for higher-fidelity multi-sensor simulations in production pipelines. Commit reference highlights the architectural shift: e5196a7e95cf025b89f7872a162b55cd66b6d480 with notes on 2-thread architecture, clock synchronization, handshaking, and required protobuf changes.
