Serial Communication with Motor Driver

edit

Hello there! After hundreds of attempt using roboteq_driver to connect my Roscore with the motor driver FBL2360 firmware v1.8d, I realized that the library is written to work with the 1.7 version and I'm not able to fix it (probably because I don't know enough C++), so I decided to follow another route. Because I'm using a Raspberry PI b as main unit, I tried to connect both the devices with pure serial communication (without using ROS) just to test the results, and actually it works fine: if I give a simple command it executes it and I can also read diagnostic messages. So I tried to use rosserial library but there is no node on the motor driver so I can't figure out how to simply connect the ROS with the motor controller simply sending serial messages on /dev/ttyACM0 port. I mean, If I could use Arduino it would be very easy, just a Serial.write( 'motor_commands')and its done; I would like to know if some easy solution exists or if I have to create some rosserial node which connects the devices.

EDIT1: I just found the library pyserial which allows to serial communicate coding in python, and I tested it using this easy code

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import time
import serial

ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0')
ser.baudrate = 115200
ser.port='/dev/ttyACM0'
ser.bytesize=8
ser.parity='N'
ser.stopbits=1
ser.timeout=None
print(ser.name)    # check which port was really used
for i in range(10):      
    ser.write(b'!G 1 1000_!G 2 0_')     #set point for ch1 and ch2  _<->enter

ser.close()

This works fine, so I the next step is to integrate this code in some ROS node, which, reading data from navigation sends the command string serially. The problem now is the serial read ser.read() that actually read everything sent on the serial bus, also the ser.write I just sent. Is there any solution?
