During January 2026, Thanh Nguyen migrated the magnetometer driver in the ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software repository from the Adafruit LIS3MDL to the SparkFun MMC5983MA, addressing hardware compatibility for ongoing sensor upgrades. Working in C++ and focusing on embedded systems and sensor integration, Thanh restructured the initialization and data acquisition logic to align with the new sensor’s API and data format. The migration preserved compatibility with existing calibration and data pipelines, ensuring a smooth transition. Thanh also developed targeted tests and updated documentation, supporting future hardware changes. The work demonstrated a thorough approach to maintainability and reliability in embedded sensor driver development.
January 2026: Delivered a hardware-driver migration for the ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software project, replacing the Adafruit LIS3MDL magnetometer with the SparkFun MMC5983MA. The update involved reworking the magnetometer initialization and data-reading flow to accommodate the MMC5983MA API and data formats, enabling compatibility with newer hardware and providing a foundation for ongoing sensor upgrades. The migration included targeted improvements to reliability and maintainability, with accompanying tests and updated documentation to support future hardware changes.
