Replace the placeholder with the five-joint arm exported from full-arm-smaller.SLDASM. The tools in scripts/cad regenerate the URDF and meshes after CAD changes. demo_mode:=true sweeps each joint in turn and reports a pass/fail row per joint on /diagnostics. Supersedes #7.
Drive the five joints with an Xbox controller through placeholder MKS SERVO42D/57D CAN drives, simulated until the real drives are connected. On Windows, a Python-only XInput bridge sends the controller state to the new wslg-teleop Compose service over UDP. The RViz camera now follows the tool so the end of the arm stays in view.

Thanks Karis, this is careful work. The validation fails fast with clear messages, the headless and diagnostics-off paths are tested without a display, and the README table is really useful. Merged with current main, it builds and all 157 tests pass. One run timed out in an unrelated RViz plugin test (ChurnLeavesNoLingeringSubscription) and passed on a rerun; that one is on us, not this PR.
Two things before it can merge:
- It conflicts with #23 and #24. Those add
demo_mode,demo_speed,teleop,joy_sourceandfollow_camerato this launch file and switch the default model to the new arm. Rewriting the whole file into oneOpaqueFunctionmeans every other launch change conflicts with it. Could you wait for #23 and #24 to merge, then rebase and carry those arguments over? If you'd rather keep the change smaller, addinguse_diagnosticsas a condition in the existing structure would work too. - The boolean check is only reachable from the unit test (inline comment).
If the forced RViz shutdown with diagnostics off happens again, write down the steps and we'll look at it separately.

choices=['true', 'false'] on the argument (line 150) already rejects tru before _launch_nodes runs, so in a real launch this branch is never reached; only the unit test gets here. I'd drop the loop, keep choices, and convert the values directly.

demo_mode:=True or 1 started joint_state_publisher_gui next to the demo, because the launch compared the raw text with 'true'. And/Not substitutions parse booleans the same way IfCondition does. The joint demo test now uses True and fails without this change. joint_demo rejects a speed_deg_s of zero or less at startup instead of never finishing a move, and receives use_sim_time like the other nodes. The CAD script's help now says which export --check-moves compares.
# Conflicts: # waybionic_bringup/launch/ground_station.launch.py
follow_camera:=false stopped the camera follower, so RViz lost the view_focus frame it orbits. The follower now always runs and holds its default focus when follow is false, and a launch test checks the frame. teleop and joy_source use And/Or/Equals substitutions, so teleop:=True works like IfCondition; the teleop test now uses True. The new nodes receive use_sim_time, and the UDP receiver reads at most 100 packets per poll so a flood cannot starve its other callbacks.

The new arm is the default model. The existing Boolean launch values accept A timing-sensitive teleop launch test initially raced before the teleop state was ready. Test synchronization was improved, and the final full suite passed. WSLg — diagnostics enabled, NormalRViz launched successfully using the new arm. The diagnostics panel displayed Normal status with no active alerts. 
WSLg — diagnostics enabled, FaultMock Fault correctly displayed fault telemetry, a stale heartbeat, and active alerts. 
WSLg — diagnostics disabledRViz launched successfully with the new arm. The diagnostics panel was absent, and the temporary diagnostics publisher was disabled. 
RViz used the default WSLg GPU rendering path with OpenGL 4.1. All three runs stopped cleanly. Ready for re-review. |

Thanks Karis, both points from last time are done. The branch carries over every #23 and #24 argument with the new arm as the default, and choices replaced the boolean loop and now accepts True, False, 1 and 0 as well. The test that rejects demo_mode with teleop, the README table and the screenshots with diagnostics on and off are all in, and the teleop launch test race was a good catch.
CI built and passed this commit on x86 and arm64, and your run shows 345 tests passing. It merges cleanly with #26. It conflicts with #27 only in waybionic_bringup/CMakeLists.txt, where both add a test; I'll resolve that on #27.
Two optional notes inline.

Optional: I'd drop this sentence. #18 now keeps hardware_mode in old_arm.launch.py, so it's already out of date, and the README will outlive the PR numbers.

Optional: with diagnostics off, the temporary publisher requested above no longer starts, so this test stopped covering it. Either drop start_temporary_diagnostics_publisher here or keep diagnostics on; your unit tests already cover the suppression.
- Start is refused while a tilt button or A is held, like the sticks. - Homing clears the Cartesian rates, so releasing A can't resume the last move. - Cartesian roll ramps with the acceleration limit and scales with the accepted step. - The drives' setpoint one period ahead stays within the URDF joint limits, which the drive node now reads from robot_description. - If one drive would pass max_rpm, every drive slows by the same factor, so they still arrive together. - The roll compensation is documented as stopping the tool spinning about its own axis; that keeps a blade's heading only when the tool points straight down. - The Cartesian launch test is registered where it won't conflict with #22.

Karis, I merged main into this branch so it can go to main now that the stack has landed. Nothing was rewritten, so pull before you push again.
The base is now main, and the full suite passes (1058 tests). |

Reject or normalize private diagnostics topics.
When diagnostics_topic:=~/diagnostics, this check validates /rviz2/diagnostics. The launch description passes ~/diagnostics unchanged to nodes such as temp_diag_pub and xbox_teleop. ROS 2 expands private names using each node’s name, so those nodes do not use one shared diagnostics topic. Require a fully qualified topic, or pass one expanded topic to every node.

Catch the full-topic validation exception.
When diagnostics_topic:=/bad//topic, expansion can succeed, but validate_full_topic_name raises InvalidTopicNameException. That exception does not inherit from ValueError or RuntimeError, so the launch omits the intended Invalid diagnostics_topic error. Catch InvalidTopicNameException and add a test for a name that fails only full-name validation. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Adds a diagnostics enable/disable option and improves validation and
startup logging in ground_station.launch.py.
Changes:
demo publisher.
and RViz configuration structure before starting nodes.
The launch code is reorganized so validation happens before nodes start.
Disabling diagnostics uses a temporary RViz layout without modifying
the user's saved configuration.
Validation:
Shutdown observation:
The earlier forced RViz shutdown did not recur after the rebase.
All final diagnostics-on and diagnostics-off validation runs exited cleanly.
