Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (2025-03) summary for DukeRobotics/robosub-ros2: Delivered two Foxglove UI enhancements to improve operator efficiency and sensor configurability. Key features: Discrete Servos Panel documented in Foxglove with a README update; Dynamic System Status Panel refactor to configure sensor monitoring via a topic-to-status mapping, increasing flexibility and enabling new sensors without core changes; Front Camera renamed to Front DAI for clarity. No major bugs fixed this month; focus on maintainability and documentation. Impact: reduced time to onboard and configure sensors, improved live system visibility, and clearer naming. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Foxglove integration, ROS2 topic mapping, UI design refinement, and comprehensive documentation.
