Rafael Zampieri developed and maintained core firmware for UFABCRocketDesign/newbie_software, focusing on modular sensor integration, robust data logging, and autonomous system control. Over six months, he engineered features such as multi-stage parachute deployment, GPS-based location tracking, and real-time telemetry, using C++ and Arduino programming within an embedded systems context. His approach emphasized modularity through conditional compilation, memory optimization, and function-based design, enabling configurable deployments and reliable sensor data collection. By refactoring code for maintainability and enhancing data formatting, Rafael improved system reliability, observability, and safety, supporting scalable sensor configurations and streamlined field operations for aerospace and IoT applications.

16 Commits • 2 Features
Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly performance for UFABCRocketDesign/newbie_software focused on robust location tracking and telemetry reliability. Delivered two major features: GPS Location Reporting and Data Logging, and Altitude Telemetry with Fall Detection. Achievements include switching GPS to hardware serial for improved performance, refining data formats for clearer user-facing logs, and substantial telemetry refactoring to enhance reliability and maintainability. Key improvements and work patterns: - GPS: Iterative integration and debugging across multiple commits to stabilize latitude/longitude collection, data logging, and log readability; achieved a stable data flow even with SD/log constraints. - Altitude Telemetry: Refactored altitude filtering, optimized memory usage for sensors, and strengthened fall detection with function-based encapsulation, simplifying telemetry reads. - Reliability and maintainability: Consolidated logic into dedicated functions, reduced scope-related variable issues, and improved code structure for easier future enhancements. - Business value: More reliable location data, safer telemetry capabilities, and clearer logs driving better decision-making and field-readiness. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Embedded C/C++, Arduino-style environment, hardware serial interfacing, memory optimization, function-based design, and data logging/formatting.

Jul 1, 2025Month: 2025-07 | Key focus: modular data logging and sensor/parachute integration. Delivered Data Logging System Initialization with sensor suite (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) and parachute control, reorganizing setup for modular, conditional compilation-based enablement of sensors and parachute components, and updating the data logging header to include new sensor data. This work enables configurable deployments and easier maintenance of the onboard data pipeline. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was architectural refactor and feature integration. Impact: improves data fidelity and operational flexibility for missions, reduces future integration risk, and supports scalable sensor configurations. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C/C++, conditional compilation, modular software architecture, embedded sensor integration, data logging subsystem design, header/interface evolution.
