New packages
------------
saltybot_uwb_msgs (ament_cmake)
• UwbRange.msg — per-anchor range reading (anchor_id, range_m, raw_mm, rssi)
• UwbRangeArray.msg — array of UwbRange published on /uwb/ranges
saltybot_uwb (ament_python)
• ranging_math.py — pure triangulate_2anchor() (height-compensated TWR
geometry, 2-anchor intersection) + KalmanFilter2D
(constant-velocity, numpy-free, 16 tests pass)
• uwb_driver_node.py — SerialReader threads poll MaUWB ESP32-S3 DW3000
anchors via AT+RANGE?, triangulate, Kalman-smooth,
publish /uwb/target (PoseStamped/base_link) + /uwb/ranges
• config/uwb_config.yaml, launch/uwb.launch.py
• test/test_ranging_math.py — 16 unit tests (triangulation + Kalman), all pass
Updated saltybot_follower
-------------------------
• person_follower_node.py — adds fuse_targets() pure helper + /uwb/target
subscriber (primary, weight=0.7); /person/target secondary (weight=0.3);
weighted blend when both fresh, graceful fallback to single source; new
params uwb_weight + uwb_timeout
• person_follower_params.yaml — uwb_weight: 0.7, uwb_timeout: 1.0s
• test_person_follower.py — 7 new TestFuseTargets cases; total 60 pass

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.
