Shaunak Lal engineered advanced hardware and software features for the formulaslug/fs-3-schematics repository, focusing on telemetry, dashboard integration, and peripheral board enhancements. Over six months, he redesigned telemetry boards, integrated CAN controllers, and implemented live data acquisition with robust power regulation and voltage monitoring. Using C++, KiCad, and embedded systems expertise, Shaunak delivered end-to-end hardware/software integration, including SPI-based radio interfaces and safety features to protect against voltage faults. He also developed a detailed telemetry display UI for formulaslug/fs-3, improving real-time operator insight. His work demonstrated depth in schematic capture, PCB layout, and design for manufacturability, ensuring reliable system performance.
May 2025: Delivered a new Enhanced Telemetry Display UI (DrawStandardLayout2) for formulaslug/fs-3, providing a detailed real-time view of speed, state of charge, temperatures, voltages, and fault statuses. Implemented updates to font loading and color definitions to support the new layout, establishing a foundation for improved operator awareness, faster fault diagnosis, and data-driven analytics. The work references commit 6ed01c4cca8263b89b891b3718c28b939d556ab9 (added second layout).
