Mar 1, 2025March 2025 – Key features delivered and reliability improvements for YeachanOkh/BANSHEE-Mechatronics-SPR24: 1) MAVLink test script connectivity improvements (UDP/serial support, dynamic port handling, streamlined arming/flight mode commands) for faster, reliable basic drone tests. 2) Motor control simulation tuning (loop counter and a fixed velocity setting during movement checks) to improve realism and repeatability. 3) Battery management and ESP communication enhancements (battery chamber control, ESP-NOW signaling, robust voltage data handling, serial/ESP port robustness, and voltage-based mode switching for solenoids). Also fixed stability by removing a lock signal from the BVM node to prevent unintended deadlock. Impact: higher test reliability, repeatable simulations, and safer automated workflows; skills demonstrated: MAVLink, UDP/Serial, ESP-NOW, voltage sensing, embedded integration.
