Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for FRC900/900RobotCode: Delivered key perception and sensor improvements enabling more reliable autonomous operation. Updated OV2311 camera calibration with new intrinsics and distortion coefficients, aligned the image processing pipeline to video1, and added an extrinsics generation command to streamline calibration validation. Reverted calibration and camera pose data where inaccuracies were observed and updated configuration/launch scripts to add support for a second IMU, enhancing sensor fusion capabilities. These changes improve perception accuracy, calibration efficiency, and system robustness under varied field conditions.

Nov 1, 2024Month: 2024-11 — Focused on reliability and observability of the swerve drive feedback path in FRC900/900RobotCode. Delivered a feature to switch feedback sensors from FusedCANcoder to RemoteCANcoder across all four swerve modules and added a device name field to CANBusStatusDevice to expose the source in telemetry. This enhances data quality, debugging, and drive consistency, and sets the stage for easier performance tuning. No explicit bug fixes were documented in this scope; the changes reduce misconfiguration risk and improve telemetry clarity.
