How do you keep micro-ROS bring-up from eating a whole weekend each time?(reddit.com)

Final-year mechatronics student, building small differential-drive robots with ROS 2. Bringing up micro-ROS on a new MCU keeps costing me a lot of time — toolchain, the agent, transport/baud config, memory limits, then the cmd_vel → PWM and encoder → odometry glue. By the time /odom and /imu publish cleanly, a weekend's gone. For people doing this regularly: Have you settled on a repeatable workflow that makes bring-up painless, or do you just eat the cost each time? On ESP32-S3 / RP2040 / STM32 — which transport do you actually use (Wi-Fi/UDP vs. serial), and how reliable is it on a moving robot (reconnection, dropouts)? Trying to learn how more experienced folks structure this so it stops being a weekend sink. submitted by /u/UnderstandingFit8261 [link] [Kommentare]
