Hi
I am new to UAVCAN. I have a kotleta20 ESC from Holybro and would like to control it over UAVCAN from a raspberry pi like computer with a CAN interface. I have pyuavcan and yakut installed and the demo on pyuavcan seemed to work fine. I have connected the ESC to the can port and using candump -decaxta any I can see messages that are being read from the ESC (e.g:
I do not understand how to interpret these messages and wanted to ask whether there is a good tutorial in order to learn how to publish messages into the can0 interface that can be interpreted by the ESC? I have tried to use yakut monitor but this command always fails.
Looking forward to learn about UAVCAN, it looks like a very promising protocol!
Unfortunately, Sapog (the firmware that is leveraged by Kotleta) does not yet support UAVCAN v1, but it can be easily upgraded. Would you like to help us out on this?
Oh I understand, that’s why this won’t work. I see that the Sapog repository has been very inactive recently. Are there plans to keep Sapog updated or will it become legacy firmware?
How much effort is it to upgrade Sapog in order to make it compatible with UAVCAN v1?
Are there other firmwares that can be used with Kotleta20 that work with UAVCAN v1?
This is the command + error message in my terminal:

Yes, there are plans to migrate it to UAVCAN v1.0 but the human resources for that are not yet allocated. If you are willing to give it a try I am ready to provide the necessary guidance. The task is relatively straightforward: remove the old libuavcan v0, introduce libcanard v1.0 instead, update the business logic in firmware/src/uavcan_node accordingly. Afterward, update the reference manual.
I am not aware of any.
Source [1000000] cannot be assigned to ValueProxyWithFlags(uavcan.register.Value.1.0(natural32=uavcan.primitive.array.Natural32.1.0(value=[1000000,4000000])), mutable=True, persistent=False)
It says that you can’t assign [1000000] to a register that contains [1000000,4000000]. The second value is required.
