Research if it is possible to use two microros transports at once #3

Open kpochwala opened 8 months ago

We need a way to set up SSID and PSK on the robot without recompiling firmware. One possible way is to use two transports for ROS2: one using serial, which would expose ROS service for setting up those secrets, and then user could use UDP transport over wifi for legit ROS topics.

DoD: Is it possible to use two microros transports at once? If so, create two topics, and show that you can send some messages over USB and UDP.

Maybe instead of using USB transport with microros, add USB mass storage device driver, so when kabot is connected via USB, a storage with file network-configuration.txt is seen and user can input secrets there. Seems pretty elegant and straightforward in implementation.
