Jul 1, 2025July 2025 performance summary for mcgill-robotics/rover-2025: Delivered a CAN-based Robot Arm Control Framework and Steering Integration, including a ROS 2 node for the ARM firmware, CAN messaging structures, and steering integration with the drive control flow. Key deliverables include the armCAN script, ARM firmware file, and steering support, enabling coordinated arm movement with drive systems and improved autonomy. Implemented Robust Error Handling for Motor Data Retrieval by introducing default error values for voltage, current, state, temperature, and speed when motor data reads fail, preventing crashes and increasing reliability. This work strengthens system reliability and safety during arm-drive coordination and sets a foundation for future CAN-based enhancements. Technologies demonstrated include ROS 2, CAN bus communication, ARM firmware integration, and robust error-handling patterns; contributing to overall maintainability and scalability of the rover platform.

May 1, 2025May 2025 summary for mcgill-robotics/rover-2025: The drive CAN and motor control system integration progressed from initial scripting to a cohesive drive control workflow. Efforts consolidated drive CAN communication, ROS 2 integration, motor status diagnostics, firmware data publishing, and improved data handling into a single, extensible drivetrain subsystem for rover motors. Key deliverables include an initial node blueprint, updates to electrical code, and motor information update functions, with the driveCAN_firmware_node nearing completion and readiness for full integration with the drive_firmware_node. Prototyped sending motor speed commands and diagnostic data via electrical functions, establishing ROS-ready pathways for telemetry. Overall, these changes reduce integration risk, accelerate firmware data exposure, and enable safer, more maintainable rover operation via modular ROS components.
