Potential Enhancements

  • Launch files: blockly_bringup package with ROS2 launch files to start all nodes with one command
  • Sensor integration: Subscriber nodes for sensor data feeding back into Blockly visual feedback
  • RealHardware implementation: Fill in ROS2 publishers/service clients for actual Pi hardware nodes (topics TBD)
  • Web-based UI: Replace pywebview with a web server mode for remote access from any browser
  • ROS2 lifecycle nodes: Migrate executor and controller to lifecycle nodes for managed state transitions
  • Simulation: Integrate with Gazebo/Isaac Sim for testing Kiwi Wheel kinematics before deploying to hardware
  • Block categories: Future blocks grouped into Robot, Sensors, Navigation categories
