PROFILE
Tyler Nguyen
Tyler Knapp developed embedded firmware for the Anteater-Electric-Racing/embedded repository, focusing on vehicle control, safety, and real-time data handling. Over four months, he engineered features such as a consolidated fault-handling system, modularized brake and pedal logic, and a robust motor controller state machine. His work included overhauling CAN bus messaging for multi-MCU support, implementing off-throttle regenerative braking, and enhancing precharge system telemetry. Using C and C++, Tyler applied skills in embedded systems, signal processing, and code refactoring to improve reliability, maintainability, and diagnostics. His contributions established a scalable foundation for safer, faster iteration in real-time automotive control systems.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for Anteater-Electric-Racing/embedded: Key features delivered: - Off-throttle regenerative braking feature: Adds off-throttle regen toggle and telemetry support; applies negative torque when regen active and vehicle is moving; defines motor direction and max regen parameters. Relevant commits include ff196ba4891d029eddfefff1cebf9403d4c74992 and bbaa0128a0dc07e11bffec088447d68663132dfb. - Precharge (PCC) system enhancements and CAN integration: Comprehensive PCC improvements including refactor cleanup, GPIO initialization, voltage/frequency measurement updates, higher precision voltage readings, LPF tuning, CAN bus PCC telemetry, and enhanced precharge state reporting. Commits include d976b9f650b81efa514b904dc5c6db581f4e4f2e; d804a7ca269b0f11a8769f71d5f89e16aec5dd8f; 31e10988782b8beee6b7ea2c811b18be1e571d1e; 1ff4b41b21f048e0b06c1a4cc8b6702ce66d1ad0; bc8e0ee0533eecf295fec0e4c4e4fcbcb4553a4d; ea2ddbfefae5010f55f2c8d4dd2ccebbb771f06e; b4d8dbf408f6ab703b0b3dbc581ac8b04d042adb; ff7de4a4b06ffe5769e5afa396aa48b6e33f033f. Major bugs fixed: - Stabilized PCC telemetry/CAN integration and improved precharge reporting; addressed precision and timing issues in voltage readings and frequency measurements; brought debugging and cleanup efforts to a more stable baseline for subsequent CCM communication. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Enhanced energy efficiency and safety through improved regen control and faster PCC readiness, improving vehicle operational uptime and energy management. - Strengthened telemetry and diagnostics with CAN-based PCC updates to CCM, enabling better real-time monitoring and fault detection. - Set the foundation for safer CCM interaction and future critical-section synchronization in PCC/regen workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Embedded firmware development in C/C++ for motor control, PCC, and telemetry. - CAN bus integration and telemetry streaming to CCM. - Signal processing concepts (voltage/frequency measurement, low-pass filter tuning). - GPIO initialization, firmware refactoring, debugging, and code quality improvements.
