Project description

Summary SAINT.OS (in the input-inc/saintos repository) is a ROS2-based control system for a distributed mobile robot, with a Raspberry Pi “server” coordinating multiple peripheral nodes (head, arms, tracks). WIZnet’s W5500 is used on RP2040-class microcontroller nodes to provide wired Ethernet, enabling a custom micro-ROS transport over UDP with DHCP and socket handling via WIZnet ioLibrary—so the internal robot network can stay deterministic and isolated from the external “operator/admin” network. What the Project Does SAINT.OS is positioned as an operating system for a track-based mobile…
