b4bb6a44e0 feat: Phase 2a URDF robot description for SLAM and Nav2
Add saltybot_description ROS2 package with full kinematic model:

urdf/saltybot.urdf.xacro
  - base_footprint → base_link (axle_height = 0.310m, from AXLE_HEIGHT SCAD)
  - wheel_left/right_link (continuous, separation=0.600m, radius=0.1015m)
  - imu_link (FC/MPU-6000 at x=+50mm forward, z=+12mm)
  - stem_link (visual: 38.1mm EMT, 1.050m — from stem_battery_clamp.scad)
  - sensor_head_link at top of stem
    - laser (RPLIDAR A1M8, z=COL_H=36mm — frame matches slam_toolbox config)
    - camera_link (RealSense D435i, ARM_R=50mm — matches realsense2_camera)
    - camera_{front,left,rear,right}_link (IMX219, 10° down tilt, ARM_R=50mm
      — positions match camera_tf.launch.py; that file superseded when live)

config/saltybot_properties.yaml
  All dimensions from chassis/chassis_frame.scad + ASSEMBLY.md Rev A.

launch/robot_description.launch.py
  Compiles xacro at launch time, runs robot_state_publisher.
  Publishes /robot_description + /tf_static for all fixed joints.

c5d6a72d39 feat: update SLAM stack for Jetson Orin Nano Super (67 TOPS, JetPack 6)
Platform upgrade: Jetson Nano 4GB → Orin Nano Super 8GB (March 1, 2026)
All Nano-era constraints removed — power/rate/resolution limits obsolete.

Dockerfile: l4t-jetpack:r36.2.0 (JetPack 6 / Ubuntu 22.04 / CUDA 12.x),
  ROS2 Humble via native apt, added ros-humble-rtabmap-ros,
  ros-humble-v4l2-camera for future IMX219 CSI (Phase 2c)

New: slam_rtabmap.launch.py — Orin primary SLAM entry point
  RTAB-Map with subscribe_scan (RPLIDAR) + subscribe_rgbd (D435i)
  Replaces slam_toolbox as docker-compose default

New: config/rtabmap_params.yaml — Orin-optimized
  DetectionRate 10Hz, MaxFeatures 1000, Grid/3D true,
  TimeThr 0 (no limit), Mem/STMSize 0 (unlimited)

Updated: config/realsense_d435i.yaml — 848x480x30, pointcloud enabled
Updated: config/slam_toolbox_params.yaml — 10Hz rate, 1s map interval
Updated: SLAM-SETUP-PLAN.md — full rewrite for Orin: arch diagram,
  Phase 2c IMX219 plan (4x 160° CSI surround), 25W power budget

docker-compose.yml: image tag jetson-orin, default → slam_rtabmap.launch.py

22aaeb02cf feat: Jetson→STM32 command protocol — /cmd_vel to serial (Phase 2)
STM32 firmware (C):
- include/jetson_cmd.h: protocol constants (HB_TIMEOUT_MS=500,
  SPEED_MAX_DEG=4°), API for jetson_cmd_process/is_active/steer/sp_offset
- src/jetson_cmd.c: main-loop parser for buffered C<spd>,<str> frames;
  setpoint offset = speed/1000 * 4°; steer clamped ±1000
- lib/USB_CDC/src/usbd_cdc_if.c: add H (heartbeat) and C (drive cmd) to
  CDC_Receive ISR — follows existing pattern: H updates jetson_hb_tick in
  ISR, C copied to jetson_cmd_buf for main-loop sscanf (avoids sscanf in IRQ)
- src/main.c: integrate jetson_cmd — process buffered frame, apply setpoint
  offset around balance_update(), inject steer into motor_driver_update()
  only when heartbeat alive (fallback: steer=0, setpoint unchanged)

ROS2 (Python):
- saltybot_cmd_node.py: full bidirectional node — owns serial port, handles
  telemetry RX → topics AND /cmd_vel TX → C<spd>,<str>\n + H\n heartbeat
  200ms timer; sends C0,0\n on shutdown; speed/steer_scale configurable
- serial_bridge_node.py: add write_serial() helper for extensibility
- launch/bridge.launch.py: mode arg (bidirectional|rx_only) selects node
- config/bridge_params.yaml: heartbeat_period, speed_scale, steer_scale docs
- test/test_cmd.py: 13 tests — zero, full fwd/rev, turn clamping, combined
- setup.py: saltybot_cmd_node entry point

All 21 tests pass (8 parse + 13 cmd).

a89297f1d4 Merge pull request 'feat(bd-a2j): Sensor driver integration — RealSense D435i + RPLIDAR A1M8' (#17) from sl-perception/bd-a2j-sensor-drivers into main 2026-02-28 17:19:41 -05:00
76067d6d89 feat(bd-a2j): RealSense D435i + RPLIDAR A1M8 ROS2 driver integration
Adds saltybot_bringup ROS2 package with four launch files:
  - realsense.launch.py  — D435i at 640x480x15fps, IMU unified topic
  - rplidar.launch.py    — RPLIDAR A1M8 via /dev/rplidar udev symlink
  - sensors.launch.py    — both sensors + static TF (base_link→laser/camera)
  - slam.launch.py       — sensors + slam_toolbox online_async (compose entry point)

Sensor config YAMLs (mounted at /config/ in container):
  - realsense_d435i.yaml  — Nano power-budget settings (15fps, no pointcloud)
  - rplidar_a1m8.yaml     — Standard scan mode, 115200 baud, laser frame
  - slam_toolbox_params.yaml — Nano-tuned (2Hz processing, 5cm resolution)

Fixes docker-compose volume mount: ./ros2_ws/src:/ros2_ws/src
(was ./ros2_ws:/ros2_ws/src — would have double-nested the src directory)

Topic reference and verification commands in SENSORS.md.

7c4e46aaa1 feat: STM32-to-Jetson ROS2 serial bridge node
saltybot_bridge ROS2 Python package (ament_python):
- serial_bridge_node.py: reads USB CDC JSON telemetry from STM32F722 at 50Hz
  Parses exact firmware format: {"p","r","e","ig","m","s","y"} (all ×10 ints)
  State enum: 0=DISARMED, 1=ARMED, 2=TILT_FAULT (matched to balance_state_t)
- Publishes sensor_msgs/Imu on /saltybot/imu (pitch/roll/yaw as angular_velocity)
- Publishes std_msgs/String on /saltybot/balance_state (full PID JSON diagnostics)
- Publishes diagnostic_msgs/DiagnosticArray on /diagnostics (OK/WARN/ERROR by state)
- Auto-reconnects on serial disconnect; IMU fault frames → ERROR diagnostic
- launch/bridge.launch.py with serial_port + baud_rate launch args
- config/bridge_params.yaml (921600 baud, /dev/ttyACM0)
- test/test_parse.py: 8 unit tests covering normal, fault, edge cases (all pass)
