feat: Motor current monitoring and overload protection (Issue #584 )
...
Adds ADC-based motor current sensing with configurable overload threshold,
soft PWM limiting, hard cutoff on sustained overload, and auto-recovery.
Changes:
- include/motor_current.h: MotorCurrentState enum (NORMAL/SOFT_LIMIT/COOLDOWN),
thresholds (5A hard, 4A soft, 2s overload, 10s cooldown), full API
- src/motor_current.c: reads battery_adc_get_current_ma() each tick (reuses
existing ADC3 IN13/PC3 DMA sampling); linear PWM scale in soft-limit zone
(scale256 fixed-point); fault counter + one-tick fault_pending flag for
main-loop fault log integration; telemetry at MOTOR_CURR_TLM_HZ (5 Hz)
- include/pid_flash.h: add pid_sched_entry_t (16 bytes), pid_sched_flash_t
(128 bytes at 0x0807FF40), PID_SCHED_MAX_BANDS=6, pid_flash_load_schedule(),
pid_flash_save_all() — fixes missing types needed by jlink.h (Issue #550 )
- src/pid_flash.c: implement flash_write_words() helper, pid_flash_load_schedule(),
pid_flash_save_all() — single sector-7 erase covers both schedule and PID records
- include/jlink.h: add JLINK_TLM_MOTOR_CURRENT (0x86), jlink_tlm_motor_current_t
(8 bytes: current_ma, limit_pct, state, fault_count), jlink_send_motor_current_tlm()
- src/jlink.c: implement jlink_send_motor_current_tlm() (14-byte frame)
Motor overload state machine:
MC_NORMAL : current_ma < 4000 mA — full PWM authority
MC_SOFT_LIMIT : 4000-5000 mA — linear reduction (0% at 4A → 100% at 5A)
MC_COOLDOWN : >5A sustained 2s → zero output for 10s then NORMAL
Main-loop integration:
motor_current_tick(now_ms);
if (motor_current_fault_pending()) fault_log_append(FAULT_MOTOR_OVERCURRENT);
cmd = motor_current_apply_limit(balance_pid_output());
motor_current_send_tlm(now_ms);

feat: Visual odometry from RealSense stereo ORB (Issue #586 )
...
Adds stereo ORB-based visual odometry to saltybot_visual_odom package.
New modules:
- orb_stereo_matcher.py: ORB feature detection (cv2.ORB_create) with BFMatcher
NORM_HAMMING + Lowe ratio test for temporal matching (infra1 prev→curr).
Stereo scale method matches infra1↔infra2 under epipolar row constraint
(|Δrow|≤2px), computes depth = baseline_m * fx / disparity.
- stereo_orb_node.py: StereoOrbNode subscribes to infra1+infra2+depth
(ApproximateTimeSynchronizer 3-topic), detects/matches ORB temporally,
estimates SE(3) via Essential matrix (5-point RANSAC) using StereoVO,
recovers metric scale from D435i aligned depth (primary) or stereo
baseline disparity (fallback). Publishes nav_msgs/Odometry on
/saltybot/visual_odom and broadcasts TF2 odom→camera_link. Baseline
auto-updated from infra2 camera_info Tx (overrides parameter).
- config/stereo_orb_params.yaml, launch/stereo_orb.launch.py
- setup.py: adds stereo_orb entrypoint, installs launch+config dirs

feat: RPLIDAR safety zone detector (Issue #575 )
...
Add saltybot_safety_zone — ROS2 Python node that processes the RPLIDAR
A1M8 /scan into three concentric 360° safety zones, latches an e-stop
when DANGER is detected in the forward arc, and overrides /cmd_vel to
zero while the latch is active.
Zone thresholds (default):
DANGER < 0.30 m — latching e-stop in forward arc
WARN < 1.00 m — advisory (published in sector data)
CLEAR otherwise
Sector grid:
36 sectors of 10° each (sector 0 = robot forward, CCW positive).
Per-sector: angle_deg, zone, min_range_m, in_forward_arc flag.
E-stop behaviour:
- Latches after estop_debounce_frames (2) consecutive DANGER scans
in the forward arc (configurable ±30°, or all-arcs mode).
- While latched: zero Twist published to /cmd_vel every scan + every
incoming /cmd_vel_input message is blocked.
- Clear only via service (obstacle must be gone):
/saltybot/safety_zone/clear_estop (std_srvs/Trigger)
Published topics:
/saltybot/safety_zone String/JSON every scan
— per-sector {sector, angle_deg, zone, min_range_m, forward}
— estop_active, estop_reason, danger_sectors[], warn_sectors[]
/saltybot/safety_zone/status String/JSON 10 Hz
— forward_zone, closest_obstacle_m, danger/warn counts
/cmd_vel Twist zero when e-stopped
Subscribed topics:
/scan LaserScan — RPLIDAR A1M8
/cmd_vel_input Twist — upstream velocity (pass-through / block)

Implements a speed-dependent PID gain scheduler that interpolates Kp/Ki/Kd
across a configurable table of velocity breakpoints, replacing the fixed
single-gain PID used previously.
Changes:
- include/pid_flash.h: add pid_sched_entry_t (16-byte entry), pid_sched_flash_t
(128-byte record at 0x0807FF40), pid_flash_load_schedule(), pid_flash_save_all()
(atomic single-sector erase for both schedule and single-PID records)
- src/pid_flash.c: implement load_schedule and save_all; single erase covers
both records at 0x0807FF40 (schedule) and 0x0807FFC0 (single PID)
- include/pid_schedule.h: API header -- init, get_gains, apply, set/get table,
flash_save, active_band_idx, get_default_table
- src/pid_schedule.c: linear interpolation between sorted speed-band entries;
integrator reset on band transition; default 3-band table (0/0.3/0.8 m/s)
- include/jlink.h: add SCHED_GET (0x0C), SCHED_SET (0x0D), SCHED_SAVE (0x0E)
commands; TLM_SCHED (0x85); jlink_tlm_sched_t; JLinkSchedSetBuf;
sched_get_req, sched_save_req fields in JLinkState; include pid_flash.h
- src/jlink.c: dispatch SCHED_GET/SET/SAVE; implement jlink_send_sched_telemetry,
jlink_get_sched_set; add JLinkSchedSetBuf static buffer
- test/test_pid_schedule.c: 48 unit tests -- all passing (gcc host build)
Flash layout (sector 7):
0x0807FF40 pid_sched_flash_t (128 bytes) -- schedule
0x0807FFC0 pid_flash_t ( 64 bytes) -- single PID (existing)

feat: ROS2 UWB position node (Issue #546 )
...
Add saltybot_uwb_position — ROS2 Python package that reads JSON range
measurements from an ESP32 DW3000 UWB tag over USB serial, trilaterates
the robot's absolute position from 3+ fixed infrastructure anchors, and
publishes position + TF2 to the rest of the stack.
Serial protocol (one JSON line per frame):
Full frame: {"ts":…, "ranges": [{"id":0,"d_mm":1500,"rssi":-65}, …]}
Per-anchor: {"id":0, "d_mm":1500, "rssi":-65.0}
Accepts both "d_mm" and "range_mm" field names.
Trilateration (trilateration.py, numpy, no ROS deps):
Linear least-squares: linearise sphere equations around anchor 0,
solve (N-1)x2 (2D) or (N-1)x3 (3D) system via np.linalg.lstsq.
2D mode (default): robot_z fixed, needs >=3 anchors.
3D mode (solve_z=true): full 3D, needs >=4 anchors.
Outlier rejection:
After initial solve, compute per-anchor residual |r_meas - r_pred|.
Reject anchors with residual > outlier_threshold_m (0.4 m default).
Re-solve with inliers if >= min_anchors remain.
Track consecutive outlier strikes; flag in /status after N strikes.
Kalman filter (KalmanFilter3D, constant-velocity, 6-state, numpy):
Predict-only coasting when anchors drop below minimum.
Q=0.05, R=0.10 (tunable).
Topics:
/saltybot/uwb/pose PoseStamped 10 Hz Kalman-filtered position
/saltybot/uwb/range/<id> UwbRange on arrival, raw per-anchor ranges
/saltybot/uwb/status String/JSON 10 Hz state+residuals+flags
TF2: uwb_link -> map (identity rotation)
Anchor config: flat float arrays in YAML.
Default layout: 4-anchor 5x5m room at 2m height.

feat: ROS2 gimbal control node (Issue #548 )
...
saltybot_gimbal ROS2 Python package for pan/tilt camera head control
via JLINK binary protocol over serial to STM32 (Issue #547 C side).
- gimbal_node.py: subscribes /saltybot/gimbal/cmd (Vector3: pan, tilt,
speed), publishes /saltybot/gimbal/state (JSON), /saltybot/gimbal/cmd_echo
- Services: /saltybot/gimbal/home (Trigger), /saltybot/gimbal/look_at
(Trigger + /saltybot/gimbal/look_at_target PointStamped)
- jlink_gimbal.py: JLINK codec matching jlink.h — CMD_GIMBAL_POS=0x0B,
TLM_GIMBAL_STATE=0x84, CRC16-CCITT, deg*10 encoding, speed register
- MotionAxis: trapezoidal velocity profile (configurable accel + speed)
- Configurable limits: pan ±150°, tilt ±45° (gimbal_params.yaml)
- Serial reconnect with configurable retry delay
- 48 unit tests — all passing

feat: WebUI gimbal control panel (Issue #551 )
...
Adds a full gimbal control panel with live camera preview:
Standalone page (ui/gimbal_panel.html + .js + .css):
- Self-contained HTML page, no build step, served directly
- roslib.js via CDN, connects to rosbridge WebSocket
- 2-D canvas pan/tilt pad: click-drag + touch pointer capture
- Live camera stream (front/rear/left/right selector, base64 CompressedImage)
- FPS badge + angle overlay on video feed
- Preset positions: CENTER / LEFT / RIGHT / UP / DOWN
- Home button (0° / 0°)
- Person-tracking toggle → /gimbal/tracking_enabled
- Current angle display from /gimbal/state feedback
- WS URL persisted in localStorage
React component (GimbalPanel.jsx) + App.jsx integration:
- Same features in dashboard — TELEOP group → Gimbal tab
- Shares rosbridge connection from parent
- Mobile-responsive: stacks vertically on mobile, side-by-side on lg+

feat: Person-following head tracking (Issue #549 )
...
Add saltybot_head_tracking — ROS2 Python node for automatic person-
following using dual-axis PID control targeting the pan/tilt camera head.
Pipeline:
1. Subscribe to /saltybot/objects (DetectedObjectArray from YOLOv8n)
2. Filter for class_id==0 (person); select best target by score:
score = 0.6 * 1/(1+dist_m) + 0.4 * confidence
(falls back to confidence-only when distance_m==0 / unknown)
3. Compute pixel error of bbox centre from image centre
4. Apply dead-zone (10 px default) to suppress micro-jitter
5. Convert pixel error to angle error via camera FOV
6. Independent PID controllers for pan and tilt axes
7. Accumulate PID output into absolute angle setpoint
8. Publish geometry_msgs/Point to /saltybot/gimbal/cmd:
x = pan_angle_deg, y = tilt_angle_deg, z = confidence
State machine:
IDLE -> waiting for first detection
TRACKING -> active PID
LOST -> hold last angle for hold_duration_s (3 s)
CENTERING -> return to (0, 0) at 20 deg/s -> IDLE

feat: Phone voice command interface (Issue #553 )
...
Add phone/voice_commander.py — Termux-based voice command listener for SaltyBot:
- Continuous wake word detection ('Hey Salty') via Whisper STT on short audio clips
- Command recording after wake word, transcribed with local Whisper (tiny/base/small)
- Parses go forward/back/left/right, stop, follow me, go home, look at me
- Publishes JSON to /saltybot/voice/cmd via ROS2 (rclpy) or rosbridge WebSocket
- TTS confirmation via termux-tts-speak; 'Yes?' prompt on wake word
- Fuzzy token-overlap fallback for wake word matching
- Flags: --host, --port, --model, --threshold, --record-sec, --no-tts, --debug
