Log 004 – Dual Motor Test with micro-ROS

Set up a full bench test with two DC motors on a breadboard, representing the left and right drive wheels for RX-1.

Motors are controlled by a DRV8833 motor driver connected to an Arduino Nano ESP32 board.

The motor encoders are powered by the 3.3V supply from the Arduino.

Motor power is supplied separately via a bench power supply to the motor driver.

Motor speed commands are sent via micro-ROS messages to the ESP32.

Motor encoder ticks are being successfully read back.

Motors are spinning in the correct directions, although without PID control they are moving at different speeds.

This is the first full motor test using real messaging through micro-ROS.
