Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
There are no publicly available SDKs or drivers available for the Alpha manipulator.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a driver for interfacing with the Alpha manipulator from a Linux system.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Contact Reach Robotics to re-request an SDK license (previously failed)
Implementation Ideas
The driver should implement the following features:
- Ability to asynchronously send commands and requests to the manipulator; this includes encoding and decoding packets using the BPL specification
- Ability to asynchronously receive messages from the manipulator
- Ability to attach callbacks for messages received from the manipulator
- Ability to monitor connectivity to the manipulator and the respective serial port
