Plan
Setup a Simple CAN Node
The goal of this step is to setup a simple CAN node that listens for the heartbeat message from Ardupilot.
Implement something similar to https://github.com/dronecan/libcanard/tree/master/examples/SimpleNode but compatible with STM32
Refer to the ESC node https://github.com/dronecan/libcanard/tree/master/examples/SimpleNode
