Revision history [back]

The arbotix_python stuff hasn't been heavily tested over xbee. My first suggestion would be to try increasing the timeout in driver.py, as everything is currently optimized for 115k and low latency (which the XBEE at 57600 has neither). If that fixes the problem, we can expose the timeout as a parameter which could be set.
