What it does
- Provides one ros2_control SystemInterface that controls several RobStride actuators sharing one CAN bus.
- Offers position, velocity and effort command interfaces, and different joints can use different modes at the same time.
- Includes model profiles for RS00 through RS06 and EL05, with custom limits also supported.
- Reports motor position, velocity, torque, temperature and fault flags, and checks for feedback timeouts.
- Confirms motor enable at startup, recovers motors that leave Run mode, and sends stop commands on shutdown.
- Publishes CAN traffic and per-motor diagnostics on /diagnostics.
