rosserial avr doesn't work

I am trying avr tutorial “Using rosserial with AVR and UART” . What I want is to connect atmega328 to ROS.

It seems it doesn't work.

Atmega328 is on pro mini board with 16 MHz crystal. I tried rosserial Arduino “hello world “ example, it works with Atmega328 on pro mini board. I used FTDI module to connect the rosserial_python serial_node.

I am running ROS Indigo on Ubuntu 14.4.

I have programmed Atmega328 with avrdude. Fuse bits of the Atmega328 were kept as for Arduino.

I have used TTL to USB module to communicate with the rosserial_python serial_node.

I tried at bau rates 38400 and 9600 other than 57600. But it seems I doesn't get synchronized, it doesn't publish at all.

Anybody out there have done something similar to this?

I need help!

And another thing, it is possible verify whether it publishes or not using a terminal program other than ros chatter node?

I have the same issue with the Arduino Pro Mini 5v, and Arduino Nano. When I run the Hello World example some messages get through and some get the "Serial Port read returned short (expected 72 bytes, received 8 instead)." error.

I have found that on the Arduino Mega everything works as it should. You may need to switch to a different Arduino board to get your project to work properly.
