Summary

  • New standalone panel ui/vesc_panel.{html,js,css} for live VESC motor telemetry via rosbridge
  • Subscribes to /vesc/left/state, /vesc/right/state, /vesc/combined (all std_msgs/String JSON from saltybot_vesc_telemetry node)
  • E-stop button publishes zero /cmd_vel + /saltybot/emergency JSON event

Features

  • Canvas arc RPM gauge per motor with direction indicator (FWD/REV/STOP)
  • Current draw bars (motor + input), duty cycle bar, FET + motor temperature boxes
  • Colour-coded health: green → amber → red at configurable thresholds
  • Sparkline charts for RPM and current (last 60 s, 120 samples at 2 Hz)
  • Battery card: pack voltage with SOC bar, total draw bar, both RPMs
  • Stale detection (2 s timeout marks motor OFFLINE)
  • Mobile-responsive single-column layout below 640 px
  • WS URL persisted in localStorage

Test plan

  • Open ui/vesc_panel.html in browser, connect to rosbridge
  • Verify left/right motor cards populate RPM, current, duty, temp from /vesc/left/state and /vesc/right/state
  • Verify battery card populates from /vesc/combined
  • Verify arc gauge colour changes green→amber→red as RPM/current thresholds crossed
  • Verify sparklines accumulate 60 s of history and scroll left
  • Press E-stop: confirm zero twist on /cmd_vel and event on /saltybot/emergency
  • Disconnect rosbridge: verify OFFLINE badge and stale state after 2 s
  • Resize to mobile width: single-column layout renders correctly

Standalone panel ui/vesc_panel.{html,js,css} with live CAN telemetry
via rosbridge. Subscribes to /vesc/left/state, /vesc/right/state
(std_msgs/String JSON) and /vesc/combined for battery voltage.

Features:
- Canvas arc gauge per motor showing RPM + direction (FWD/REV/STOP)
- Current draw bar (motor + input), duty cycle bar, temperature bars
- FET and motor temperature boxes with warn/crit colour coding
- Sparkline charts for RPM and current (last 60 s, 120 samples)
- Battery card: voltage, total draw, both RPMs, SOC progress bar
- Colour-coded health: green/amber/red at configurable thresholds
- E-stop button: publishes zero /cmd_vel + /saltybot/emergency event
- Stale detection (2 s timeout → OFFLINE state)
- Hz counter + last-stamp display in header
- Mobile-responsive layout (single-column below 640 px)
- WS URL persisted in localStorage
