What it does
- Displays live CPU, memory, network bandwidth, USB bus utilization and load average in the browser.
- Includes a scrollable /rosout log viewer that connects through rosbridge over WebSocket.
- Offers interactive node and topic browsers for the running ROS 2 graph.
- Can monitor real USB traffic through usbmon; without it, only claimed bandwidth from device speeds is shown.
- Launches rosbridge_websocket and the HTTP server together, with the dashboard on port 2525 by default.
- Includes a development script that runs the Next.js dev server with hot-reload alongside the C++ server and rosbridge.
