Rosserial has been catkin-ized since the groovy release, and the workflow is a bit different from fuerte and earlier releases. Rather than running the Library generator over each package you want to use, you run it once and generate libraries for all installed messages. In the instructions below, represents your catkin workspace.
The Arduino and Arduino IDE are great tools for quickly and easily programming hardware. Using the rosserial_arduino package, you can use ROS directly with the Arduino IDE. rosserial provides a ROS communication protocol that works over your Arduino's UART. It allows your Arduino to be a full fledged ROS node which can directly publish and subscribe to ROS messages, publish TF transforms, and get the ROS system time.
Our ROS bindings are implemented as an Arduino library. Like all Arduino libraries, ros_lib works by putting its library implementation into the libraries folder of your sketchbook. If there is not already a libraries folder in your sketchbook, make one. You can then install the library using the instructions below.
Ros_lib installation instructions are different for groovy source (catkin) than for earlier (rosbuild) or binary releases. Be sure you've selected the correct build system above to see appropriate instructions - catkin for a groovy source build, rosbuild otherwise.
In the steps below, is the directory where the Linux Arduino environment saves your sketches. Typically this is a directory called sketchbook in your home directory. Alternately, you can install into a Windows Arduino environment.
If you are building Arduino on Windows, copy the ros_lib directory from Linux to the Windows sytem's sketchbook/libraries folder (typically found in My Documents).
These commands clone rosserial from the github repository, generate the rosserial_msgs needed for communication, and make the ros_lib library in the/install directory.
These commands clone rosserial from the kforge repository using mercurial, generate the rosserial_msgs needed for communication, and make the ros_lib library.
The preceding installation steps created ros_lib, which must be copied into the Arduino build environment to enable Arduino programs to interact with ROS.
