Problem
The new machine version needed a stable and verifiable path from gyro signal to control logic without jumping directly to motor outputs.

Diagnosis
The communication chain, character order, buffer handling, angle values, and target deviation were analysed step by step.
Action
Parser logic, status codes, ±180° wrap/normalization, deadband, direction handling, and a separate simulation mode were built in testable stages.
Verification
Receive/parser, wrap/normalization, status logic, and simulation functions were verified in separate checkpoints before continued machine and pool testing.
