POC to test my little friend "vector" features without any sdk

Ultimate goal - being able to write own firmware components without proprietary SDK from DD

Prerequisites

All /anki/bin/vic-* amd mm-anki-camera demons installed on vector needs to be removed or replaced by dummy executables to eliminate any conflicts with custom apps

Verified

• LCD
• CAMERA
• SPEAKER
• IMU
• BodyBoard
  • Read Status
  • Control LEDs state
  • Control Motors (Wheels, Head, Lift) & LEDs state
  • Control power (shutdown)
  • Read version of body board firmware
  • Read 4 Motors encoders
  • Read 4 Cliff sensors
  • Read Prox sensor data
  • Read Battery/Charger voltage and battery status
  • Read 4 Microphone data samples

TODO

• BLE
• OTA

BLOCKED

• DFU - seems firmware for body board is encrypted with some cypher (AES-128 maybe). rampost just pass encrypted image on boot if installed and new versions are different. Further work is blocked until ecryption secret/method will be known.
