Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

RADU: Motor Controller Software for Arduino and Raspberry Pico
A core package of ROS1 is the Rosserial. It supports several concrete microcontrollers, including the Arduino, STM32, Teensy. Effectively, this package is a set of C/C++ headers that you incorporate in your microcontroller code. Then, you can directly receive and send ROS messages using the imported ROS message format. The receiver, e.g. your single board computer, needs to implement a ROS server. Here, you can use either C++ or Python. There are several examples in the Github repository. I also recommend a great blog article about connecting ROS to Arduino with L298D to directly convert TWIST messages to motor controller PWMs.

rosserial +platformio+ esc-BG431
3 - On your ros linux PC, you can either download Rosserial (ex. sudo apt install os-melodic-rosserial-arduino), or build rosserial from source (https://github.com/ros-drivers/rosserial). Either way, you'll have a tool that can generate the Arduino side library for you (it will generate headers for all current messages/services... including your custom ones). For example:

- How am I supposed to make a robot with ROS2 if it doesn't support Arduino Uno/Mega (or other 8 bit microcontrollers)?
- ROS2 + Stm32 (on Arduino IDE) communication?

Wiring in progress
As far as micro controllers go, it's possible to implement a ROS node on both a raspi pico and arduino that allows them to share data with higher level nodes. That said, these specific implementations are a feature of ROS2. Previously, under the the original ROS, microcontrollers were more treated as 2nd class citizens and relied on a rosserial interface node to communicate with the full network.

ROS on Teknic ClearCore
I recommend using the Arduino library for Micro-ROS. https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_arduino

RADU: Motor Controller Software for Arduino and Raspberry Pico
MicroROS is a project to implement a complete ROS2 node in your microcontrollers. The experimental MicroROS Arduino branch extends Arduino programs with additional C/C++ headers for full ROS2 compatible message subscription and publication. Specifically, its provides as precompiled binaries that support specific Microcontrollers such as the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect or the Teensy 4.1. The list of natively supported ROS messages is impressive.
