Revision history [back]

Due to it's limited resources you cannot compile most of the ROS ecosystem onto the Arduino. There's a minimal implementation to be able to bridge data off the microcontroller, but not fully featured to do all operations on the microcontroller. (For example all the dependencies of tf cannot be compiled into the Arduino's memory space so there is a stripped down implementation available on in the Arduino interface.

As @NEngelhard suggests it's recommended to do higher level processing offboard.
