Converts Python BNO055 driver to C++17 Lifecycle Node for ROS2 Humble, replacing threading with timers and adding explicit state management.
Architecture
Lifecycle State Machine
on_configure: Hardware connection, chip verification, register configurationon_activate: Publisher activation, timer initialization (data/calibration/watchdog)on_deactivate: Timer shutdown, publisher deactivation, connection maintainedon_cleanup: Hardware disconnection, resource releaseon_error: Safe cleanup with exception handlingHardware Communication
I2CConnector: Direct i2c-dev syscalls with 32-byte chunking, auto-incrementing registersUARTConnector: termios-based serial with non-blocking open, timeout-based readsConnectorinterface for polymorphismData Pipeline
SensorService: Manages publishers, timers, and data acquisitionACCEL_DATA_X_LSB_ADDRKey Changes
Build System
