// Agent: sl-mechanical 2026-03-01 // Issue: #564 Agent: sl-mechanical Date: 2026-03-14
// Closes issues #57, #62 // (supersedes Rev A stem-collar mount see git history)
// ============================================================ // ============================================================
// Clamp-on bracket for 2× MaUWB ESP32-S3 anchor modules on
// SaltyBot 25 mm OD vertical stem.
// Anchors spaced ANCHOR_SPACING = 250 mm apart.
// //
// Features: // Parametric wall or ceiling mount bracket for ESP32 UWB Pro anchor.
// Split D-collar with M4 clamping bolts + M4 set screw // Designed for fixed-infrastructure deployment: anchors screw into
// Anti-rotation flat tab that keys against a small pin // wall or ceiling drywall/timber with standard M4 or #6 wood screws,
// OR printed key tab that registers on the stem flat (if stem // at a user-defined tilt angle so the UWB antenna faces the desired
// has a ground flat) see ANTI_ROT_MODE parameter // coverage zone.
// Module bracket: faces outward, tilted 10° from vertical
// so antenna clears stem and faces horizon
// USB cable channel (power from Orin via USB-A) on collar
// Tool-free capture: M4 thumbscrews (slot-head, hand-tighten)
// UWB antenna area: NO material within 10 mm of PCB top face
// //
// Components per mount: // Architecture:
// 2× collar_half print in PLA/PETG, flat-face-down // Wall base flat backplate with 2× screw holes (wall or ceiling)
// 1× module_bracket print in PLA/PETG, flat-face-down // Tilt knuckle single-axis articulating joint; TILT_DEG steps (15°)
// locked with M3 bolt+nut; range 090° (wall to ceiling)
// Anchor cradle U-cradle holding ESP32 UWB Pro PCB on M2.5 standoffs
// USB-C channel routed exit groove on cradle side
// Label slot rear window slot for printed anchor-ID label card
//
// Part catalogue:
// Part 1 wall_base() Backplate + 2-ear pivot block
// Part 2 tilt_arm() Pivoting arm; knuckle + cradle arm
// Part 3 anchor_cradle() PCB cradle with standoffs + USB-C slot + label window
