I forked it from github into my ~/catkin_ws/src folder and then ran catkin_make install from ~/catkin_ws/.

And then you did source ~/catkin_ws/install/setup.bash?

Now I know from previous testing that the problem is that I haven't specified the full path to the .yaml file.

No, you don't and you shouldn't. If you sourced the correct workspace, the ros_arduino_python pkg should be on the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, and roslaunch / rospack should be able to resolve the $(find ros_arduino_python) to the proper location.

When I roscd to the package there is nothing in the folder except for a CMakeLists.txt and a package.xml file.

That is probably in ~/catkin_ws/install/share/PKG_NAME?

Also:

file does not exist [/home/lukas/catkin_ws/src/ros_arduino_bridge/ros_arduino_python/config/my_arduino_params.yaml]

Is there actually a my_arduino_params.yaml in /home/lukas/catkin_ws/src/ros_arduino_bridge/ros_arduino_python/config/?
