Hello, In my setup I have an arduino board connected to a PC. The arduino board have a service to enable/disable some digital outputs. In the PC I have several nodes that use this service. Before calling it I wait for the service to be announced. If I use the python call rospy.wait_for_service('...') it works as expected. However, if in C++, I use ros::service::waitForService("..."); the function returns before the service is announced and when I call it fails.

This happens to me ONLY with the service announced by the arduino board (not the services in the PC).

Any idea?

Thank you!
