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.

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:

RADU: Motor Controller Software for Arduino and Raspberry Pico
Still experimental is U2IF, a very specific library to run MicroPython code on a host computer, like an Raspberry Pi, to which a Raspberry Pico is connected via USB. The MicroPython environment gives full access to the GPIO Pins and additional bus systems like I2C or SPI.
