Adds a slow-adapting terrain slope estimator (IIR tau=5s) that decouples
the robot's balance offset from genuine ground incline. The balance
controller subtracts the slope estimate from measured pitch so the PID
balances around the slope surface rather than absolute vertical.
- include/slope_estimator.h + src/slope_estimator.c: first-order IIR
filter clamped to ±15°; JLINK_TLM_SLOPE (0x88) telemetry at 1 Hz
- include/jlink.h + src/jlink.c: add JLINK_TLM_SLOPE (0x88),
jlink_tlm_slope_t (4 bytes), jlink_send_slope_tlm()
- include/balance.h + src/balance.c: integrate slope_estimator into
balance_t; update, reset on tilt-fault and disarm
- test/test_slope_estimator.c: 35 unit tests, all passing

Implement Ziegler-Nichols relay feedback auto-tuning with flash persistence:
Firmware (STM32F722):
- pid_flash.c/h: erase+write Kp/Ki/Kd to flash sector 7 (0x0807FFC0),
magic-validated; load on boot to restore saved tune
- jlink.h: add JLINK_CMD_PID_SAVE (0x0A) and JLINK_TLM_PID_RESULT (0x83)
with jlink_tlm_pid_result_t struct and pid_save_req flag in JLinkState
- jlink.c: dispatch JLINK_CMD_PID_SAVE -> pid_save_req; add
jlink_send_pid_result() to confirm flash write outcome over USART1
- main.c: load saved PID from flash after balance_init(); handle
pid_save_req in main loop (disarmed-only, erase stalls CPU ~1s)
Jetson ROS2 (saltybot_pid_autotune):
- pid_autotune_node.py: add Ki to Ziegler-Nichols formula (ZN PID:
Kp=0.6Ku, Ki=1.2Ku/Tu, Kd=0.075KuTu); add JLink serial client that
sends JLINK_CMD_PID_SET + JLINK_CMD_PID_SAVE after tuning completes
- autotune_config.yaml: add jlink_serial_port and jlink_baud_rate params
Trigger: ros2 service call /saltybot/autotune_pid std_srvs/srv/Trigger

USART1 IDLE interrupt (DMA circular RX) was calling HAL_UART_IRQHandler
mid-frame during polling HAL_UART_Transmit, resetting gState and causing
leading nulls / truncated frames on the Jetson telemetry link at 921600 baud.
Fix: introduce jlink_tx_locked() which disables USART1_IRQn around every
blocking HAL_UART_Transmit call, preventing IRQHandler from corrupting
gState while the TX loop is running. A s_tx_busy flag drops any
re-entrant caller (ESC debug, future USART6/VESC paths).
Both jlink_send_telemetry (50 Hz) and jlink_send_power_telemetry (1 Hz)
now use jlink_tx_locked(). Also correct the stale config.h comment that
misidentified the Jetson link as USART6 (it moved to USART1 in Issue #120).

Add coulomb counter for accurate SoC estimation independent of load:
- New coulomb_counter module: integrate current over time to track Ah consumed
* coulomb_counter_init(capacity_mah) initializes with battery capacity
* coulomb_counter_accumulate(current_ma) integrates current at 100 Hz
* coulomb_counter_get_soc_pct() returns SoC 0-100% (255 = invalid)
* coulomb_counter_reset() for charge-complete reset
- Battery module integration:
* battery_accumulate_coulombs() reads motor INA219 currents and accumulates
* battery_get_soc_coulomb() returns coulomb-based SoC with fallback to voltage
* Initialize coulomb counter at startup with DEFAULT_BATTERY_CAPACITY_MAH
- Telemetry updates:
* JLink STATUS: use coulomb SoC if available, fallback to voltage-based
* CRSF battery frame: now includes remaining capacity in mAh (from coulomb counter)
* CRSF capacity field was always 0; now reflects actual remaining mAh
- Mainloop integration:
* Call battery_accumulate_coulombs() every tick for continuous integration
* INA219 motor currents + 200 mA subsystem baseline = total battery draw
Motor current sources (INA219 addresses 0x40/0x41) provide most power draw;
Jetson ROS2 battery_node already prioritizes coulomb-based soc_pct from STATUS frame.
Default capacity: 2200 mAh (typical lab 3S LiPo); configurable via firmware parameter.

Adds STM32F7 STOP-mode power management with <10ms wake latency:
- power_mgmt.c: state machine (ACTIVE→SLEEP_PENDING→SLEEPING→WAKING),
30s idle timeout (PM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS), 3s LED fade before STOP,
gate SPI3/I2S3+SPI2+USART6+UART5 on sleep (clock-only, state preserved),
EXTI1(PA1/CRSF)+EXTI7(PB7/JLink)+EXTI4(PC4/IMU) wake sources,
PLL restore after STOP (PLLM=8/N=216/P=2 → 216MHz), uwTick save/restore
- Peripheral gating: I2S3, SPI2(OSD), USART6, UART5 disabled during STOP;
SPI1(IMU), UART4(CRSF), USART1(JLink), I2C1 remain active as wake sources
- Sleep LED: triangle-wave pulse (2s period) on LED1 during SLEEP_PENDING,
software PWM in main loop (1-bit, pm_pwm_phase vs brightness)
- IWDG: fed just before WFI; <10ms wake << 50ms WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_MS

- bmp280.c: detect BME280 (chip_id 0x60) vs BMP280 (0x58) at init
- bmp280.c: read humidity calibration (dig_H1–H6) from 0xA1 and 0xE1–0xE7
- bmp280.c: set ctrl_hum (0xF2, osrs_h=×16) before ctrl_meas — hardware req
- bmp280.c: add bmp280_read_humidity() — float compensation (FPv5-SP FPU),
returns %RH × 10; -1 if chip is BMP280 or not initialised
- bmp280.h: add bmp280_read_humidity() declaration + timeout note
- main.c: baro_ok → baro_chip (stores chip_id for BME280 detection)
- main.c: telemetry adds t (°C×10), pa (hPa×10) for all barometers;
adds h (%RH×10) for BME280 only; alt unchanged
- ui/index.html: hidden TEMP/HUMIDITY/PRESSURE rows, revealed on first
packet containing t/h/pa fields; values shown with 1 dp
I2C hang safety: all HAL_I2C_Mem_Read/Write use 100ms timeouts, so
missing hardware (NAK) returns in <1ms, not after a hang.

Shared I2C1 bus (i2c1.c/h, PB8=SCL PB9=SDA 100kHz):
- i2c1_init() called once in main() before sensor probes.
- hi2c1 exported globally; baro and mag drivers use it directly.
Barometer (bmp280.c):
- Probes I2C1 at 0x76 then 0x77 (covers both SDO options).
- bmp280_init() returns chip_id (0x58/0x60) on success, neg if absent.
- Added bmp280_pressure_to_alt_cm() — ISA barometric formula.
- Added bmp280.h (was missing).
Magnetometer (mag.c / mag.h):
- Auto-detects QMC5883L (0x0D, id=0xFF), HMC5883L (0x1E, id='H43'),
IST8310 (0x0E, id=0x10) in that order.
- mag_read_heading() returns degrees×10 (0–3599) or -1 if not ready.
- HMC5883L: correct XZY byte order applied.
- IST8310: single-measurement trigger mode.
main.c:
- i2c1_init() + bmp280_init() + mag_init() after all other inits.
- Both skip gracefully (baro_ok=0, mag_type=MAG_NONE) if not present.
- Telemetry JSON: incremental builder appends ",\"hd\":<n>" when mag
found and ",\"alt\":<n>" when baro found. No extra bytes when absent.
UI (index.html):
- HEADING and ALT rows hidden until first packet with that field.
- Heading shown in degrees, alt in metres (firmware sends cm).
Closes#24.

New LED behavior (active-low, PC15=LED1, PC14=LED2):
Disarmed, IMU OK : LED1 solid ON + LED2 off
Armed : LED1 solid ON + LED2 solid ON
Tilt fault : LED1 blink 1Hz + LED2 blink 1Hz
IMU error : LED1 blink 1Hz + LED2 solid ON
Rule: solid = good, slow blink (~1Hz) = needs attention.
Removed the confusing fast-blink-at-5Hz-for-error and the
baro-flash-every-5s patterns.
status_update() signature changed: baro_ok → armed + tilt_fault
so the LED pattern can reflect arm state directly.
Closes#22.

On boot, before the main loop, sample 1000 gyro readings (~1s) while
board is held still. Compute per-axis mean offset (sensor-frame raw LSBs)
and subtract from all subsequent readings in mpu6000_read().
- mpu6000_calibrate(): LED1+LED2 solid ON during 1s sample window,
resets filter state to zero once bias is known
- mpu6000_is_calibrated(): gate; main loop blocks arming and USB
streaming until calibration completes
- Bias subtracted in sensor frame before CW270 axis transform + scale,
so all three axes (pitch/roll/yaw rate) benefit
- config.h: GYRO_CAL_SAMPLES=1000
- No flash storage — recalibrate fresh each boot (bias varies with temp)
Closes#21 (3.5°/s yaw drift), #23 (gyro bias calibration on boot).

Adds motor_driver.c/h between the balance PID and the raw
hoverboard UART driver:
- Differential drive: balance_cmd → speed, steer_cmd → steer
- Steer-only ramping at MOTOR_STEER_RAMP_RATE (balance PID keeps
full immediate authority — no ramp on speed channel)
- Headroom clamp: reduces steer so |speed|+|steer|<=MOTOR_CMD_MAX
ensuring ESC never clips the balance command
- Emergency stop: latches on TILT_FAULT, clears on BALANCE_DISARMED;
send path stays in 50Hz ESC tick to avoid flooding UART
main.c: replace bare hoverboard_send() with motor_driver_update();
config.h: MOTOR_CMD_MAX=1000, MOTOR_STEER_RAMP_RATE=20 counts/ms

Issue #12 — Roll displayed as pitch:
- Firmware was sending r=pitch_rate (wrong). Changed to r=roll_deg*10.
- mpu6000.c: add roll complementary filter (accel atan2(ay,az) +
gyro gy integration, same COMP_ALPHA=0.98 as pitch).
- IMUData: add roll and yaw fields.
- UI: updateIMU() now uses data.r/10 for roll (not client-side filter
that computed from ax/ay/az which firmware never sent).
- Three.js: roll -> rotation.z (banking), pitch -> rotation.x (tipping)
— axes were already correct, fix was the firmware data.
Issue #13 — Add yaw telemetry:
- Firmware: gyro Z integration (gz * dt) → s_yaw, sent as y=yaw_deg*10.
Gyro-only, drifts — no magnetometer.
- IMUData: yaw field added.
- UI: yaw -> rotation.y (spinning on vertical axis). Displayed in HUD.
- UI: YAW RESET button captures current yaw as new zero reference
(client-side offset, no new firmware command needed).
Closes#12, #13.

Safety systems implementation:
IWDG Hardware Watchdog (50ms timeout, config.h WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_MS):
- safety_init() configures IWDG at PSC/32 (0.8ms tick), reload=62
- safety_refresh() must be called every loop iteration
- Cannot be disabled once started — MCU resets if loop hangs
- Started after 3s USB init delay (avoids spurious startup reset)
Arm Hold Interlock (3s, config.h ARMING_HOLD_MS):
- Arm command starts a hold timer, not immediate motor enable
- Motors only enable after ARMING_HOLD_MS consecutive hold
- Disarm or tilt > 10° cancels pending arm
- Prevents accidental arm from single keypress
Tilt Fault Alert:
- safety_alert_tilt_fault() fires one-shot buzzer on TILT_FAULT edge
- Rider hears alarm when tilt cutoff triggers
- Edge-detected (buzzer only fires once per fault event)
RC Timeout (infrastructure):
- safety_rc_alive() checks crsf_state.last_rx_ms vs RC_TIMEOUT_MS
- RC disarm wired but guarded (no CRSF yet) — remove guard when wired
- Compatible with future CRSF implementation
