 # micro-ROS component for ESP-IDF
 
-This component has been tested in ESP-IDF v4.4, v5.2, and v5.5 with ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6 and ESP32-P4.
+This component has been tested in ESP-IDF v5.2, v5.3, v5.4, and v5.5 with ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6, and ESP32-P4.
 
 ## Dependencies
 
 This component needs `colcon` and other Python 3 packages inside the IDF virtual environment in order to build micro-ROS packages:
 
 ```bash
 . $IDF_PATH/export.sh
-pip3 install catkin_pkg lark-parser colcon-common-extensions
+pip3 install catkin_pkg colcon-common-extensions lark "empy<4"
 ```
 
 ## Middlewares available
 
 This package support the usage of micro-ROS on top of two different middlewares:
+
 - [eProsima Micro XRCE-DDS](https://micro-xrce-dds.docs.eprosima.com/en/latest/): the default micro-ROS middleware.
-- [embeddedRTPS](https://github.com/embedded-software-laboratory/embeddedRTPS): an experimental implementation of a RTPS middleware compatible with ROS 2.
+- [embeddedRTPS](https://github.com/embedded-software-laboratory/embeddedRTPS): an experimental implementation of a RTPS middleware compatible with ROS 2. (CURRENTLY NOT WORKING)
 
 In order to select it, use `idf.py menuconfig` and go to `micro-ROS Settings > micro-ROS middleware`
+
 ## Usage
 
 You can clone this repo directly in the `components` folder of your project.
