sl-jetson cea3eaff97 cleanup: Remove all Mamba/STM32/BlackPill references — ESP32-S3 only
- Renamed mamba_protocol.py → balance_protocol.py; updated all importers
- can_bridge_node.py rewritten to use balance_protocol.py API (ESP32-S3 BALANCE)
- test_can_bridge.py rewritten to test actual balance_protocol.py constants/functions
- All STM32/Mamba references in Python, YAML, Markdown, shell scripts replaced:
  * Hardware: MAMBA F722S → ESP32-S3 BALANCE/IO
  * Device paths: /dev/stm32-bridge → /dev/esp32-io
  * Node names: stm32_serial_bridge → esp32_io_serial_bridge
  * hardware_id: stm32f722 → esp32s3-balance/esp32s3-io
- C/C++ src/include/lib/test files: added DEPRECATED header comment
- Covers: saltybot_bridge, saltybot_can_bridge, saltybot_can_e2e_test,
  saltybot_bringup, saltybot_diagnostics, saltybot_mode_switch, and all
  chassis, docs, scripts, and project files

SaltyLab Firmware — Agent Playbook

Project

Self-balancing two-wheeled robot: Orin Nano Super, 2x VESC (IDs 68 left / 56 right), ESP32-S3 BALANCE, ESP32-S3 IO.

Team

Agent Role Focus
sl-firmware Embedded Firmware Lead ESP32-S3/ESP-IDF, USB CDC debugging, SPI/UART, Arduino/ESP-IDF, esptool.py
sl-controls Control Systems Engineer PID tuning, IMU sensor fusion, real-time control loops, safety systems
sl-perception Perception / SLAM Engineer Jetson Nano, RealSense D435i, RPLIDAR, ROS2, Nav2

Status

USB CDC TX bug resolved (PR #10 — DCache MPU non-cacheable region + IWDG ordering fix).

Repo Structure

  • projects/saltybot/SALTYLAB.md — Design doc
  • USB_CDC_BUG.md — USB peripheral conflict details
  • TEAM.md — Team roles specification

Branch Strategy (issue #28)

Variant branches

Branch Purpose
saltylab Stable — SaltyLab 2-wheel balance bot (promoted from saltylab-dev)
saltylab-dev Integration — SaltyLab balance bot; agents target this branch
saltyrover Stable — 4-wheel rover variant
saltyrover-dev Integration — rover variant
saltytank Stable — tracked tank variant
saltytank-dev Integration — tank variant
main Shared code only (IMU drivers, USB CDC, balance core, safety)

Rules

  • Agents branch FROM <variant>-dev and PR back TO <variant>-dev
  • Shared/infrastructure code (IMU drivers, USB CDC, balance core, safety) goes in main
  • Variant-specific code (motor topology, kinematics, config) goes in variant branches
  • Stable branches get promoted from -dev after review and hardware testing
  • Current SaltyLab team works against saltylab-dev

Git Workflow

  • Branch naming: <agent>/<slug> (e.g., sl-firmware/usb-cdc-fix)
  • For shared code targeting main: <agent>/bd-<id>-<slug>
  • Before every push: git fetch origin && git rebase origin/<base-branch>
  • Gitea: gitea.vayrette.com/seb/saltylab-firmware

Communication

  • Report progress to max via MQTT: AGENT_NAME=<agent> ~/agent-mqtt/agent-send max "<message>"
  • Check inbox: ~/agent-mqtt/agent-read 2>/dev/null | tail -15
  • Prioritize messages from max (PM)
