Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:72 reviews, 20 commits, 14 PRs in 2 years 4 months
Contributions summary:Gilles primarily contributed to the RIOT OS, focusing on adding support for quadrature decoder (QDEC) peripherals. They implemented the necessary drivers for both native and STM32 platforms, including initialization, read/write operations, and interrupt handling. Furthermore, they added a test program and example configurations for the nucleo-f401 board, demonstrating their ability to integrate the new functionality. Finally they added a motor_driver API and implemented with QDEC simulation.
