Over a three-month period, contributed to ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software by developing and refining embedded telemetry and sensor integration features. Work included end-to-end GPS integration with accelerometer data, migration of the telemetry stack to a robust LoRa library, and enhancements to barometer data validation for improved sensor reliability. Applied C++ and C/C++ skills to implement hardware drivers, data filtering, and control systems, while clarifying Extended Kalman Filter acceleration handling to support maintainability. Focused on improving data quality, transmission stability, and code clarity, these efforts streamlined hardware initialization, reduced onboarding time, and enabled more accurate and reliable telemetry for flight-critical applications.
February 2026 monthly summary for ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software: Focused on maintainability and clarity in the EKF path. Delivered a clear clarification on how acceleration is applied within the Extended Kalman Filter to prevent misinterpretation and to aid future maintenance. No major user-facing bugs fixed; included a minor comment cleanup tied to the EKF acceleration handling. This work reduces onboarding time, mitigates risk of incorrect EKF usage, and supports more reliable downstream behavior.
