Safety & Thermal
Robots are basically just really expensive ways to start a fire. Kenate introduced a kernel-level protection layer so your software loops don't melt your hardware. You're welcome.
Thermal Management
If the motor core exceeds the threshold in your profile (default 85.0°C), the Kernel steps in immediately. I don't ask Python if it's okay, I just shut it down to save your hardware.
Kernel Action: Actuators are locked and the mission is terminated to prevent permanent hardware warping.
Signal Integrity & RTH
Autonomous missions rely on consistent signal strength for remote overrides. Kenate v1.0.6 recommends a safety threshold of 20%.
- Below 20%: The robot automatically enters Return To Home (RTH) sequence.
- Signal Loss: The C++ Kernel executes a "Safe Float" until connection is regained.
Kernel Halt
"If your logic fails entirely because you wrote a bad loop, the C++ Kernel literally kills power to all motors to stop your robot from destroying your property. I planned for your mistakes."
