Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with docker-compose up -d on the stated Ubuntu VM and inspect the application output while the board is connected. Verify whether the device is recognized and whether the expected ROS 2 topics and LED subscriptions become available; the issue provides no file or test entry point.

Description

Issue template

Steps to reproduce the issue

Run the application on an Ubuntu 22.04.3 VM on a Windows 11 machine
Launch the application normally through "Docker-compose up -d"

Expected behavior

Board is recognized

Actual behavior

App stuck on "Waiting for device"

Additional information

I've tried everything that came to mind, the connection is there, the firmware is properly configured and the board is recognized. I granted every access permission I could think of, as well.

I'd really appreciate any help or advice, and please let me know if you'd like me to provide more information.

Update: After days of trying, it magically seems to have resolved itself. However, when I list the ros2 topics in my terminal, nothing seems to appear. When I try to publish on the LEDs, it can't find any subscriptions either.
