Revision history [back]

ROS-Indigo on Ubuntu 14.04 is a pain. The reason it doesn't work is because in Indigo "write_timeout" was in camel case being "writeTimeout". If you change the code and replace "write_timeout" with "writeTimeout" that should do the trick. You could also just upgrade to kinetic or higher and that should solve your problem as well.

Have a nice day.
