AI Summary: The issue proposes to implement automated or faster testing for microcontroller code to eliminate the current time-consuming manual debugging process. This involves researching suitable testing libraries/methods for microcontrollers and then developing comprehensive test cases for various sensors such as IMU, GPS, and Windvane.

AI Summary: This issue proposes investigating and potentially switching from Protobuf to MicroROS for data communication between a Teensy and Raspberry Pi. The motivation stems from potential speed and ease of use benefits, as well as eliminating the need to recompile message formats when adding new data types. The plan involves researching MicroROS, implementing basic message sending, and then migrating the existing codebase.

AI Summary: This issue focuses on determining the optimal battery solution for an RC mini boat. The task involves researching the required voltages, exploring available battery options (including AA or higher capacity), and then physically connecting the chosen power source to the boat.

AI Summary: This issue requires adding a 7.4V buck converter to the Tom PCB to supply higher current for servos. The task involves soldering the buck converter onto an existing 12V trace and verifying its integration for any potential issues.

AI Summary: The issue aims to enhance an existing simulation, likely related to the provided SwarmSwIM repository. Key tasks include researching and integrating sailing physics into the simulation, alongside improving its navigation capabilities.

AI Summary: This issue focuses on diagnosing a jib servo that became unresponsive after its power and ground wires were accidentally swapped. The task involves disassembling the servo, using a multimeter for electrical testing, and researching potential failure points to determine if it's permanently damaged or can be salvaged.

AI Summary: This issue addresses two overheating servo booster cables that exhibit continuous power and ground, suggesting a potential short circuit. The plan is to remove the heat shrink, diagnose the specific problem (likely a shorted solder joint), and attempt a repair to salvage the cables.
