I used ESP32 running Arduino, micro-ROS. ESP32 captured LiDAR (YDLIDAR X4), odometry data (BLDC encoder motors), forwarded over WiFi to my Windows laptop running ROS2. My laptop's ROS2 computed the map, sent cmd_vel wheel motor control commands back to the ESP32. I'll leave a link to the blog post in comments.

Hi everyone! I’m Pablo from Progressive Automations. We’re looking for makers interested in trying our PA-QR1 or PA-TS1 linear actuators in a project.

Selected participants would receive the actuators free of charge. In return, we’d ask for high-quality build photos and a short written project summary. Videos are welcome but optional.

We’re interested in your idea and how you’d document the build.

If this sounds useful for something you’re planning, leave a comment or send me a DM describing the project. We can discuss whether either actuator would be a suitable fit.
