sl-perception 9d6c72bd24 feat: Here4 GPS DroneCAN integration via CANable2 (bd-p47c)
Implements saltybot_dronecan_gps ROS2 package — DroneCAN/UAVCAN v0
bridge that publishes Here4 GPS, IMU, magnetometer, and barometer data
to ROS2. CANable2 freed from ESP32 BALANCE comms (bd-wim1) now runs
Here4 at 1 Mbps DroneCAN.

Key features:
- dronecan_parser.py: pure-Python DSDL converters (Fix2, RawIMU, Mag,
  StaticPressure, StaticTemperature, NodeStatus, RTCMStream chunks),
  testable without dronecan library or CAN hardware
- here4_node.py: ROS2 node, auto-discovers Here4 node ID on first Fix2,
  publishes /gps/fix + /gps/velocity for navsat_transform EKF fusion,
  HDOP-based NavSatStatus upgrade (RTK/SBAS), RTCM injection via
  /rtcm (ByteMultiArray) or /rtcm_hex (String hex fallback)
- 39 unit tests, all passing
- bring_up_can:=true parameter to configure SocketCAN at launch

Resolves bd-p47c

"""here4.launch.py — Launch the Here4 GPS DroneCAN bridge on CANable2.
bd-p47c: CANable2 freed by bd-wim1 (ESP32 moved to UART/USB) now used for
Here4 GPS at 1 Mbps DroneCAN/UAVCAN v0.
CAN setup (one-time, survives reboot via systemd-networkd or udev)
------------------------------------------------------------------
# Option A — manual (quick test):
sudo ip link set can0 down
sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
sudo ip link set can0 up
# Option B — let the node do it (requires CAP_NET_ADMIN):
ros2 launch saltybot_dronecan_gps here4.launch.py bring_up_can:=true
# Option C — systemd-networkd (/etc/systemd/network/80-can0.network):
[Match]
Name=can0
[CAN]
BitRate=1M

Usage
-----
# Default (interface already up):
ros2 launch saltybot_dronecan_gps here4.launch.py
# Bring up interface automatically (CAP_NET_ADMIN required):
ros2 launch saltybot_dronecan_gps here4.launch.py bring_up_can:=true
# Override interface (e.g. second CAN adapter):
ros2 launch saltybot_dronecan_gps here4.launch.py can_interface:=can1
# Pin to specific Here4 node ID (skip auto-detect):
ros2 launch saltybot_dronecan_gps here4.launch.py node_id_filter:=10
System dependency
-----------------
pip install dronecan # DroneCAN/UAVCAN v0 Python library
apt install can-utils # optional: candump, cansend for debugging
