Revision history [back]

I just installed ROS for the first time and connected to an Arduino 2560. The first couple of times I tried it I got the exact same result. I restarted and tried a few more times and with no changes it finally started working. Curious myself.

Once it did work I got a message after the 57600 baud comment that I need to start the publisher.
