Description

Add constant periodic logging for info like motor output, voltage(?), battery(?), temps, state machine state, running nodes, active topics, sensor data/predicted pose, etc.

Once we move to the SSD on the Jetson, we shouldn't have as many issues with storage so saving all this info should be feasible. If we find this takes too much storage, we may need to implement better compression schemes or delete/backup data after some time.

Primary motivation is yesterday's MHL 🔥

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a periodic logging module that logs motor output, battery, temperatures, state machine state, running nodes, active topics, and sensor data. Consider using Python's logging module with a RotatingFileHandler to manage storage.
