sl-perception b4181183e7 feat(perception): wheel encoder differential drive odometry (Issue #184 )

Adds saltybot_bridge_msgs package with WheelTicks.msg (int32 left/right
encoder counts) and a WheelOdomNode that subscribes to
/saltybot/wheel_ticks, integrates midpoint-Euler differential drive
kinematics (handling int32 counter rollover), and publishes
nav_msgs/Odometry on /odom_wheel at 50 Hz with optional TF broadcast.

New files:
  jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_bridge_msgs/
    msg/WheelTicks.msg
    CMakeLists.txt, package.xml

  jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_bringup/
    saltybot_bringup/_wheel_odom.py     — pure kinematics (no ROS2 deps)
    saltybot_bringup/wheel_odom_node.py — 50 Hz timer node + TF broadcast
    test/test_wheel_odom.py             — 42 tests, all passing

Modified:
  saltybot_bringup/package.xml  — add saltybot_bridge_msgs, nav_msgs deps
  saltybot_bringup/setup.py     — add wheel_odom console_script entry

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.
