Hi,

I two devices Bluno nano(arduino Uno) and Bluno Link (Bluetooth dongle) just to give a reference to the hardware. I am able to establish the connection between them and can monitor the data through the arduino serial monitor (just connect both of them to different pc's). I also got this piece of code online and it is working as expected (can read and write data).

But it is also mentioned in one of the ROS answers that using rosserial is more reliable. So when i ran

$ rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py _port:=/dev/ttyACM0 _baud:=115200
[ERROR] [1525425583.457823]: Creation of publisher failed: unpack requires a string argument of length 2
[ERROR] [1525425598.423438]: Lost sync with device, restarting...

This my running on Bluno nano (arduino Uno)

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);  //initial the Serial
}

void loop() {
  if (Serial.available())  {
    Serial.write(Serial.read());//send what has been received
  }
}

But it is also mentioned in one of the ROS answers that using rosserial is more secure.

please link us to the question where this statement is made.

I doubt very much that security is improved by using rosserial.

Just update the question with the link. Just as a remainder that question was posted in dec 2014.

The comment about using rosserial says the protocol makes it more reliable not more secure. These are two very different concepts.

@PeterBlacker Ok, Updated.

Never used ROSSERIAL but the error seems to be saying you should be sending 2 bytes at a time. Is that what you are doing when creating the publisher? Maybe you're using a 1 byte variable?
