432d5cb267
feat: person-following control loop (Phase 2b)
...
Adds saltybot_follower ROS2 package — proportional person-following
controller that bridges sl-jetson's /person/target detections to Nav2
/cmd_vel, with the cmd_vel_bridge_node (PR #46 ) providing safety wrapping.
Controller features:
- Proportional control: linear.x ∝ distance error, angular.z ∝ bearing
- Follow distance: 1.5m default with ±0.3m dead zone (no jitter at target)
- Max speed: 0.5 m/s linear, 1.0 rad/s angular (conservative for balance)
- Obstacle override: zeroes forward cmd_vel when Nav2 local costmap
detects obstacle in forward corridor; turning still allowed
- Lost-target state machine:
FOLLOWING → person visible
STOPPING → lost > 2s, publish zero
SEARCHING → lost > 5s, slow rotation (0.3 rad/s) to re-acquire
- Mode integration: follow_enabled param (toggle via ros2 param set)
independently gates the controller; cmd_vel bridge gates on md=2

feat: CRSF/ELRS RC integration — 16ch input with failsafe (#Phase2)
...
Protocol choice: implemented from spec (CRSFforArduino needs Arduino
framework; Betaflight extraction has deep scheduler dependencies).
Protocol verified against Betaflight src/main/rx/crsf.c + CRSF spec.
crsf.c:
- UART4 PA0=TX/PA1=RX (GPIO_AF8_UART4), 420000 baud 8N1, oversampling×8
APB1=54MHz → BRR=0x101 → 418604 baud (0.33% error, within spec)
- DMA1 Stream2 Channel4, circular 64-byte buffer, IDLE interrupt
DMA half/complete callbacks drain buffer; IDLE fires at frame boundary
- CRC8 DVB-S2 (polynomial 0xD5) validated on every frame
- Parser state machine: SYNC(0xC8)→LEN→DATA with length sanity check
- 11-bit channel unpack for all 16 channels from 22-byte payload
- RC channels frame (0x16): unpacks 16ch, updates last_rx_ms + armed
- Link stats frame (0x14): captures RSSI dBm, LQ%, SNR dB
crsf.h: added rssi_dbm, link_quality, snr fields to CRSFState
config.h: CRSF_ARM_THRESHOLD=1750, CRSF_STEER_MAX=400, CRSF_FAILSAFE_MS=300
main.c:
- crsf_init() called after motor_driver_init()
- RC failsafe: disarm if (now - last_rx_ms) > CRSF_FAILSAFE_MS, but only
after RC was first seen (last_rx_ms != 0) — USB-only mode unaffected
- RC arm: CH5 rising edge → safety_arm_start(); falling edge → disarm
Same ARMING_HOLD_MS interlock as USB arm command
- RC steer: CH1 → crsf_to_range() → ±CRSF_STEER_MAX → motor_driver steer
- RSSI/LQ: appended to JSON when safety_rc_alive() ("rssi","lq" fields)
ui/index.html: hidden RC RSSI row revealed on first packet with rssi/lq

fix: correct yaw inversion in web UI (P0 #38 )
...
Remove erroneous negate on targetYaw — yaw was spinning opposite to
physical rotation. Update resetYaw() formula to match (+ instead of -).
Pitch and roll were unaffected.

feat: gyro recalibration button in web UI ( #32 )
...
Add 'G' CDC command that disarms and re-runs gyro bias calibration.
safety_refresh() added to calibration loop (every 40ms) so IWDG
does not trip during the 1s blocking re-cal when watchdog is running.
GYRO CAL button in ui/index.html sends 'G' and shows status feedback.

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).

feat: RC/autonomous mode manager with smooth handoff
...
Adds mode_manager.c/h: three operating modes selected by RC CH6 (3-pos
switch), smoothly interpolated over ~500ms to prevent jerky transitions.
Modes:
RC_MANUAL (blend=0.0) — RC CH4 steer + CH3 speed bias; balance PID active
RC_ASSISTED (blend=0.5) — 50/50 blend of RC and Jetson autonomous commands
AUTONOMOUS (blend=1.0) — Jetson steer only; RC CH5 still kills motors
Key design:
- Single `blend` float (0=RC, 1=auto) drives all lerp; MANUAL→AUTO takes
500ms, adjacent steps take ~250ms
- CH6 thresholds: <=600=MANUAL, >=1200=AUTONOMOUS, else ASSISTED
- CH4/CH3 read with ±30-count deadband around CRSF center (992)
- RC speed bias (CH3, ±300 counts) added to bal.motor_cmd AFTER PID
- RC CH5 kill: if rc_alive && !crsf_state.armed → disarm, regardless of mode
- Jetson steer fed via mode_manager_set_auto_cmd() → blended in get_steer()
- Telemetry: new "md" field (0/1/2) in USB JSON stream
- mode_manager_set_auto_cmd() API ready for Jetson serial bridge integration
config.h: CRSF channel indices, deadband, speed-bias max, blend timing.
Safe on USB-only build: CRSF stub keeps last_rx_ms=0 → rc_alive=false
→ RC inputs = 0, mode stays RC_MANUAL, CH5 kill never fires.

feat: BME280 full readout — temp, humidity, pressure telemetry ( #30 )
...
- 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.
