Four independent small fixes from the review:

  • ompl_planning.yaml nested the planner definitions under the group, where MoveIt does not
    look for them; they are now top-level with the group listing them by name, as in MoveIt's
    own configs.
  • The FK documentation promised radians but matrixToEuler() returns degrees, which is also
    the manufacturer's convention for the home pose. Docs fixed; the 3.14 constant is M_PI.
    Two tests pin the units against the quoted home pose.
  • Firmware replies appended forever and the first "S-V" match was returned even if partial;
    each query now starts a fresh bounded buffer and the version is reported only once the
    whole tag is in.
  • can_activate renamed interfaces after bringing them up, which the kernel refuses; it now
    stops everything, parks renamed adapters under temporary names, then names, sets the
    bitrate and starts them. Needs real adapters to exercise.

Summary by Sourcery

Fix planning configuration, kinematics units, firmware version handling, and CAN interface activation reliability.

Bug Fixes:

  • Correct MoveIt OMPL planner configuration structure so planner definitions are discoverable.
  • Align forward-kinematics documentation and constants with degree-based output while preserving radian inputs.
  • Reset and bound firmware reply buffering and require complete version tags before reporting them.
  • Make CAN activation safely handle interface renaming before configuring and starting adapters.

Tests:

  • Add forward-kinematics unit coverage for home-pose units and radian inputs.
  • Add firmware-version buffering and re-query behavior coverage, and harden concurrent command test timeouts and shutdown handling.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • CAN interfaces can now be renamed when adapters need to swap names, with bitrate configuration and startup applied after rename attempts.
    • Firmware version queries now wait for the complete version tag and clear results from previous queries.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that forward-kinematics positions are in millimeters and angles are in degrees.
  • Improvements
    • Updated manipulator planning configuration to make the supported planners available while keeping RRTConnect as the default.

Reviewer's Guide

This PR applies four focused fixes: it corrects MoveIt’s OMPL YAML schema, makes FK units and constants consistent with the manufacturer and adds regression tests, resets and validates streamed firmware replies, and reorders CAN interface shutdown, temporary renaming, final naming, configuration, and startup to satisfy kernel constraints.

📝 Walkthrough

This change updates CAN interface renaming, firmware-version reply handling, forward-kinematics documentation and tests, and OMPL planner configuration structure.

Changes: CAN Interface Renaming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Two-pass interface renaming
piper_cpp/src/can_utils.cpp
activate stops all interfaces, attempts temporary names before final names, then sets bitrates and starts interfaces. Rename failures produce warnings; stop, bitrate, and startup failures throw. The operation uses each interface’s current name after rename attempts.

Firmware Version Replies

Layer / File(s) Summary
Firmware reply lifecycle
piper_cpp/include/piper_cpp/interface/piper_interface_v2.h, piper_cpp/src/interface/piper_interface_v2.cpp, piper_cpp/test/piper_interface_v2_test.cpp
Each query clears the previous reply. Reply accumulation is capped at 256 bytes, and getFirmwareVersion() returns no value until all eight bytes after the S-V marker arrive. The test checks partial replies and a subsequent query.

Forward Kinematics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pose units and kinematics checks
piper_cpp/include/piper_cpp/fk.h, piper_cpp/include/piper_cpp/interface/piper_interface_v2.h, piper_cpp/src/interface/piper_interface_v2.cpp, piper_cpp/test/fk_test.cpp, piper_cpp/test/CMakeLists.txt
The documentation specifies positions in millimeters and angles in degrees. MILLIDEG2RAD uses M_PI. Registered tests compare the zero-angle pose with init_pos and check the expected position after a π/2 first-joint input.

OMPL Planner Configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Planner definitions and group references
piper_cpp_moveit/config/ompl_planning.yaml
RRTConnect, RRTstar, and PRMstar definitions move to top-level planner_configs without changes to their types or parameter values. The manipulator group refers to them by name and keeps RRTConnect as its default.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 56c37

Activation can leave adapters under the wrong names when a temporary name is already in use. Choose an unused temporary name before merging, or explicitly accept this bounded risk.

**Old firmware replies appear current**

When a previous reply is still in flight or callers issue overlapping firmware queries, `sendFirmwareQuery()` clears the buffer, but `parseCANFrame()` appends firmware frames without identifying their query. `getFirmwareVersion()` can therefore return the previous query's first complete `S-V` tag as the new result, even after the new reply arrives.

Associate firmware reply frames with their query, or prevent a new query until the previous reply is fully received.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

A saturated buffer can drop the tag tail.

The check firmware_data_.size() < kMaxFirmwareBytes is made per frame. The limit is therefore soft, and the buffer can exceed 256 bytes by up to one frame. This is harmless for the current 8-byte frame size.

A more important case: if the arm sends unrelated firmware frames before the tag, the buffer can fill with noise. Later frames, including the tag, are then dropped. The buffer is cleared on each query, so recovery needs a new query. This limit is acceptable as a guard against unbounded growth. Document that behavior, or truncate the insert to the remaining space.

piper_cpp/test/piper_interface_v2_test.cpp: 1

257-280: 🎯 Functional Correctness

The concern is refuted. getFirmwareData() is a public method. sendFirmwareQuery() clears the firmware buffer before sending the new query, so the immediate empty-version assertion matches the implementation.

Choose a free temporary interface name before the first rename.

The generated prefix + "tmp" + index name is not checked for collisions. A failed temporary rename leaves the original name in current, and the second pass can then find its target still occupied. The code only logs both failures and starts the interfaces under the wrong names.

Suggested fix
-            const std::string tmp = prefix + "tmp" + std::to_string(i);
+            std::string tmp;
+            size_t suffix = i;

+            {

Review comment at @piper_cpp/src/can_utils.cpp around lines 116 - 152:
In the two-pass interface renaming logic, choose a temporary name that is not
already assigned before calling renameInterface. Update the temporary-name
generation in the loop that builds current to check candidates with the existing
interface lookup mechanism and advance the suffix until a free name is found.

Define M_PI or use the class constant for portable builds.

M_PI is a non-standard extension. On MSVC without _USE_MATH_DEFINES, this line fails to compile. PiperForwardKinematics::PI already exists and is a static constexpr public member. Use it instead.

Based on learnings: bare M_PI usage in portable code should be flagged.

Replace the non-standard M_PI reference in the calcFK call with the public
PiperForwardKinematics::PI constant, preserving the existing angle calculation.
