Revision history [back]

The problem with rosserial is that it gives that generic error message for almost anything. First thing I would check is whether your device is actually connected to /dev/ttyUSB0. Run "ls /dev/ | grep tty" before and after you plug in your xbee to the computer then check what port it's connected to based on what appears afterwards.
