Mar 1, 2025March 2025: IntelliSat sensor integration enhancements delivering power and environmental telemetry through improved I2C-based sensing. Implemented INA226 current sensor and TMP275 temperature sensor support with complete I2C configuration, initialization, readout, and tests, enabling reliable data collection for environmental and power metrics. Refactored TMP275 sun sensor integration to streamline initialization and data access by removing the SUN_SENSOR struct and updating sensor_tester to use sun_sensors_readVoltage, reducing complexity and maintenance overhead. Changes were implemented across SunSensors.c and TMP275.h with targeted commits, and tests were added to validate sensor readouts. Overall impact includes higher data fidelity for environmental/power telemetry, enabling proactive anomaly detection and more informed operational decisions.
