sl-android 08bc23f6df feat: Phone video streaming bridge (Issue #585)
Phone side — phone/video_bridge.py:
- MJPEG streaming server for Android/Termux phone camera
- Dual camera backends: OpenCV VideoCapture (V4L2) with automatic
  fallback to termux-camera-photo for unmodified Android
- WebSocket server (ws://0.0.0.0:8765) — binary JPEG frames + JSON
  info/error control messages; supports multiple concurrent clients
- HTTP server (http://0.0.0.0:8766):
    /stream    — multipart/x-mixed-replace MJPEG
    /snapshot  — single JPEG
    /health    — JSON stats (frame count, dropped, resolution, fps)
- Thread-safe single-slot FrameBuffer; CaptureThread rate-limited with
  wall-clock accounting for capture latency
- Flags: --ws-port, --http-port, --width, --height, --fps, --quality,
  --device, --camera-id, --no-http, --debug

Jetson side — saltybot_phone/phone_camera_node.py:
- ROS2 node: receives JPEG frames, publishes:
    /saltybot/phone/camera            sensor_msgs/Image (bgr8)
    /saltybot/phone/camera/compressed sensor_msgs/CompressedImage
    /saltybot/phone/camera/info       std_msgs/String (stream metadata)
- WebSocket client (primary); HTTP MJPEG polling fallback on WS failure
- Auto-reconnect loop (default 3 s) for both transports
- Latency warning when frame age > latency_warn_ms (default 200 ms)
- 10 s diagnostics log: received/published counts + last frame age
- Registered as phone_camera_node console script in setup.py
- Added to phone_bringup.py launch with phone_host / phone_cam_enabled args

Jetson Nano — AI/SLAM Platform Setup

Self-balancing robot: Jetson Nano dev environment for ROS2 Humble + SLAM stack.

Stack

Component Version / Part
Platform Jetson Nano 4GB
JetPack 4.6 (L4T R32.6.1, CUDA 10.2)
ROS2 Humble Hawksbill
DDS CycloneDDS
SLAM slam_toolbox
Nav Nav2
Depth camera Intel RealSense D435i
LiDAR RPLIDAR A1M8
MCU bridge STM32F722 (USB CDC @ 921600)

Quick Start

# 1. Host setup (once, on fresh JetPack 4.6)
sudo bash scripts/setup-jetson.sh

# 2. Build Docker image
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh build

# 3. Start full stack
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh up

# 4. Open ROS2 shell
bash scripts/build-and-run.sh shell

Power Budget (Summary)

Scenario Total
Idle 2.9W
Nominal (SLAM active) ~10.2W
Peak 15.4W

Target: 10W (MAXN nvpmodel). Use RPLIDAR standby + 640p D435i for compliance. See docs/power-budget.md for full analysis.
