rosserial - arduino - custom message - message larger than buffer

edit

Hey guys,

I wrote a custom message which looks like:

geometry_msgs/Vector3[] data

so i got an array of Vector3()'s. I can use this message, echo it, etc... So I am assuming that everything worked fine here.

Now I am using an Arduino Mega to subscribe this message. Which seems to work to. But I got the following problem:

I am publishing a message which contains out of 14 Vector3()'s and I am getting this error:

[ERROR] [WallTime: 1430219046.856917] Message from ROS network dropped: message larger than buffer.

If I publish a message which contains out of 4 Vector3()'s everything works fine. Is this message really too big? Shoudnt it be something like 14 (entries in the array) * 8 (Float64) * 3 (three points for each vector) = 336 Bytes? Is this really too much for the Arduino?...

I found out that I have to change the buffer as descriped here http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial/Overvie... .

typedef NodeHandle_<ArduinoHardware, 25, 25, 1024, 256> NodeHandle;

I dont get the error anymore, but if I echo the topic /Test (see in the code below) I dont see any value (at least for 14 entries in the message. For 4 Values it works perfectly fine!). The Publisher for /Test is made, so that I can see if the message gets transferred correctly.

So though I set the buffer up to 1024 Bytes

[INFO] [WallTime: 1430223859.870142] Note: subscribe buffer size is 1024 bytes

the message is not transferred correctly.

Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks alot in advance!

P.S.: My general goal is to send speed information for two stepper motors and a information about the time to the arduino. So each vector looks smth like: (v1 , v2 , t). And i got - at the moment - 14 of them. There might be more in the future!

In case that there is a more handy solution for this, feel free to suggest.

[EDIT]

Actually I tried many Vector3()'s can be in the array, so that the message will be transferred correctly. As chance would have it I only can transfer 4 Vector3()'s in the array... That would only be 4 * 8 * 3 = 96 Bytes right? :0
