I’m using a ZED Box (Orin NX) running ROS2 and want to enable low-latency communications to the actuator controllers. A separate ROS2 node (on the ZB) publishes navigation commands, and I want the other controllers to receive motion commands with the ability to send feedback/status if their own control loop snags.
What’s the best way to connect the ZB to the other controllers within the system given the lack of external IO available on the ZB as opposed to other carrier boards like the dev kits?
Appreciate any guidance!
Hi @dannirash ,
If you are using ROS2, I would recommend performing this signaling communication over the network, and connecting your ZED Box to the other controllers of your system through Ethernet.
If this is not a solution for you an IOs is what’s lacking, I can recommend using the ZED Box Mini (https://www.stereolabs.com/en-fr/store/products/zed-box-mini) which comes with its own GPIOs that you can program for your use case. The box supports different Jetson modules (up to Orin NX 16Gb) and has 2x GMSL connectors.
Hope this helps, I would be glad to answer any more questions.
