Over three months, Sam Creed contributed to the Terrapin-Rocket-Team/Airbrake repository by integrating VectorNav VN sensor data into the flight control and navigation pipeline, implementing core sensor libraries, and establishing real-time telemetry for data-driven decision making. He developed encoder-based airbrake flap control and delivered hardware updates to the Airbrake Compute Board, including optocoupler and level shifter integration using C++ and KiCad. Sam also improved build reliability in the SRAD-Avionics repository by correcting header capitalization for cross-platform compatibility. His work demonstrated depth in embedded systems, sensor integration, and hardware design, resulting in robust, maintainable solutions for avionics and control systems.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 - SRAD-Avionics: Stabilization and build reliability focus. Key change implemented: corrected header include capitalization for the Si4463 integration (si4463_default.h -> Si4463_default.h), preventing potential build failures on case-sensitive filesystems and aligning with naming conventions. Commit: d14906747db4861d375fa2f80502c051f5087094. Business impact: reduces risk of platform-specific build breaks, lowers maintenance cost, and speeds onboarding by enforcing consistent header naming. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C/C++, header management, build-system correctness, cross-platform compatibility, code-quality and review discipline.

Dec 1, 20242024-12 monthly summary for Terrapin-Rocket-Team/Airbrake: Delivered three pivotal features that enhance data handling, flight control, and hardware readiness. Packed VN100 data functionality enables efficient data transfer and streamlined reporting; Airbrake flap control system provides encoder-based position control with defined motor driver pins and step granularity for precise actuation; Airbrake Compute Board hardware/PCB updates (optocoupler, level shifter, limit switch connector, and new PCB footprints) ready for rugged production. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: faster data pipelines, improved actuation precision, and a hardware baseline that supports safer operations and future upgrades. Technologies demonstrated: embedded software (C/C++), encoder-based control, PCB design and hardware integration, optocoupler and level-shifter usage, and design-for-testability.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 monthly summary for Terrapin-Rocket-Team/Airbrake focused on delivering end-to-end VectorNav VN sensor integration to support flight control and navigation data pipelines. Implemented core sensor libraries, exposed delta time, theta, velocity, delta V, and delta theta data through getters, and prepared data for CSV export. Established data flow from VN sensors into the system and configured an acceleration filter for compensation-only mode to improve data reliability and stability.
