sending 1500us to thursters at shutdown from thurster ks or any shutdown
Refactored error_loop and callback functions, added initialization for microseconds array on reset, and ensured safety before destroying entities.
In power_setup() (line ~242): Initializes the microseconds array immediately after the message buffer initialization. This ensures that when the Teensy resets (kill switch pulled/reinserted), the thrusters start at neutral (1500) before any ROS commands arrive.
In create_entities() (line ~155): Resets the microseconds array when ROS entities are created/reconnected. This handles the case where the ROS node on your host computer didn't die but the Teensy did—old commands from the still-running node won't override the safe 1500 value until new commands arrive.
In destroy_entities() (line ~171): Sets thrusters to 1500 before calling offCommand for extra safety during disconnection.
