Track events and processes over time with a visual timeline. This diagram helps teams see sequences, responsibilities, and parallel activities clearly for planning, reporting, or retrospectives.

How to create a System Timeline Diagram

To create a system timeline diagram, follow these steps:

01.
Identify key actors or roles
Who participates in the process?
02.
List major events or milestones
Determine significant actions to display on the timeline.
03.
Arrange chronologically
Place events top-to-bottom or left-to-right based on the timeline orientation.
04.
Show responsibilities
Indicate which actor performs each event.
05.
Highlight dependencies
Use arrows or labels to show interactions between events.
06.
Validate with team
Ensure events and timing reflect reality.
07.
Refine visual clarity
Adjust spacing, labels, and alignment for readability.
08.
Finalize & share
Use it for planning, team updates, or retrospectives.

State-Machine Based Decimation Filter for LiDAR UART Streaming

A state machine for reading a continuous stream of 5-byte UART messages from a LiDAR scanner into an embedded system — in real time, with configurable decimation. Rather than capturing everything and filtering later, this design processes bytes as they arrive and skips every Mth message on the fly. Five states handle the full lifecycle: idle, pattern detection, offset alignment, recording, and skipping. Built for embedded systems engineers, robotics researchers, and anyone working with sensor data pipelines where memory is constrained and throughput matters.
