sl-firmware 3a7576939e feat(safety): remote e-stop over 4G MQTT (Issue #63)
STM32 firmware:
- safety.h/c: EstopSource enum, safety_remote_estop/clear/get/active()
  CDC 'E'=ESTOP_REMOTE, 'F'=ESTOP_CELLULAR_TIMEOUT, 'Z'=clear latch
- usbd_cdc_if: cdc_estop_request/cdc_estop_clear_request volatile flags
- status: status_update() +remote_estop param; both LEDs fast-blink 200ms
- main.c: immediate motor cutoff highest-priority; arming gated by
  !safety_remote_estop_active(); motor estop auto-clear gated; telemetry
  'es' field 0-4; status_update() updated to 5 args

Safety: IMMEDIATE motor cutoff, latched until explicit Z + DISARMED,
cannot re-arm via MQTT alone (requires RC arm hold). IWDG-safe.

Jetson bridge:
- remote_estop_node.py: paho-mqtt + pyserial, cellular watchdog 5s
- estop_params.yaml, remote_estop.launch.py
- setup.py / package.xml: register node + paho-mqtt dep
- docker-compose.yml: remote-estop service
- test_remote_estop.py: kill/clear/watchdog/latency unit tests

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.
