A custom <code>ros2_control</code> hardware interface bridges the Meca500&rsquo;s proprietary TCP API to MoveIt 2, so real trajectory planning and execution run on the physical arm. A mounted Ender3 extruder handles filament feed and heating over USB serial — the arm does all of the XYZ motion.</p>
