PROFILE
Sam Geisler
Sam Geisler contributed to the ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software repository by developing and refining embedded firmware features over a two-month period. He improved orientation sensor timing and reporting by introducing a dedicated timer for full orientation readings, refactoring the orientation thread to process updates directly, and tuning sensor report intervals for more accurate and stable data. In addition, Sam implemented automated CI/CD pipelines for firmware builds and documentation deployment, and added support for the MCP2517FD CAN driver to enhance hardware integration. His work, primarily in C++ and YAML, demonstrated depth in embedded systems, real-time sensor integration, and hardware-software alignment without addressing bug fixes.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (2025-09) — Orientation Sensor Timing and Reporting Improvements delivered for ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software. Addressed incorrect report interval constants for ARVR stabilized RV and Gyro Integrated RV; introduced a dedicated timer for full orientation readings; refactored the orientation thread to remove timer-based logic and process updates directly; tuned primary and average sensor report intervals; removed unnecessary debug output from the orientation thread. Result: more accurate, stable orientation data, reduced noisy logs, and improved maintainability.
