Device types

Type Spanda sensor/actuator Provider (registered)
Camera Camera spanda-opencv
DepthCamera DepthCamera spanda-opencv
Radar Radar spanda-radar
Lidar Lidar spanda-lidar
Ultrasonic Ultrasonic spanda-ultrasonic
GPS GPS spanda-gps

Planned protocol providers (spanda-automotive-ethernet, spanda-lin, spanda-uds, spanda-v2x) are listed in spanda.providers.toml with status = "planned".

Wheel speed, steering angle, brake, and tire pressure sensors attach to ECUs via CAN and surface as health-check inputs.
