Tried to find out how to control a quadruped using joysticks.
The only thing I could find treated the robot as if it were a normal robot using the Twist message with linear x and angular z. 1h30 1h30

Worked on a bit more of the system architecture. Several decisions to make here.

The most important decision is to use either the ESP32 approach and Micro-ROS or use RPi, Zero 2W or 3A+.

Decided to go down the RPi route so that I can have a full ROS2 stack on the remote. Purchased a RPi 3A+ and a 5" touch screen that plugs in to the display socket. So I also need to use a Arduino Nano to read the analogue voltages from from the 6 axis pots.
