Description

Documents the reBot DevArm leader plugin (#729) on the Generic Joint-Space Device docs page (docs/source/device/joint_space.rst), as requested by @jiwenc-nv in the #729 review — turning the plugin README into rst mounted under device/joint_space.html.

Changes

  • Intro: cite the reBot DevArm leader as a second joint-space device instance next to the SO-101 reference.
  • New section "The reBot DevArm leader plugin" (anchor rebot-devarm-leader-plugin), condensing the plugin README: DamiaoBus with no SDK dependency, disable + back-drive leader design, per-cycle 0xCC feedback requests, synthetic fallback, run/probe CLI, probe exit codes (0 / 3) and the volatile multi-turn gripper counter (joint streamed with valid = false while wrapped). Links to the plugin README for the calibration file format.
  • "Add another joint-space device": point at src/plugins/rebot_devarm_leader as a worked second example of the recipe.

Notes

Checklist

  • Sphinx build clean: sphinx -b html -W --keep-going → build succeeded, 0 warnings
  • SKIP=check-copyright-year pre-commit run clean on the touched file
  • DCO sign-off

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Expanded the Generic Joint-Space Device guide with a second reference hardware example.
    • Added setup and usage details for the reBot DevArm leader, including connection, calibration, probing, and fallback behavior.

…e page

Document the rebot_devarm_leader plugin (PR NVIDIA#729) on the Generic
Joint-Space Device page, as requested in the PR review: cite the reBot
DevArm as a second instance next to the SO-101 reference, add a section
condensing the plugin README (DamiaoBus with no SDK dependency,
disable + back-drive leader design, per-cycle 0xCC feedback requests,
synthetic fallback, probe subcommand exit codes and the volatile
multi-turn gripper counter), and point the add-another-device recipe at
the new plugin as a worked example.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change updates the joint-space device documentation to add the Seeed reBot DevArm leader as a second reference hardware instance alongside the existing SO-101 leader arm. It introduces a new documentation section describing the rebot_devarm_leader plugin's CAN bus interface, joint decoding, motor disabling for back-drive, synthetic fallback behavior, CLI usage with probe mode, and gripper out-of-range handling. The "Add another joint-space device" recipe instructions are updated to reference either plugin as a template.
