Revision history [back]

I don't know if this is the issue, but the class template that you link to is from hydro. What version of ROS are you using?

I'm using indigo, which apparently also has serialize and deserialize methods (which I didn't know, so thanks!). I don't know if jade or later retain that API for messages, so that's something to check.
