Hi All I am trying to run the Time and TF tutorial but i get the following error

TimeTF.cpp: In function ‘void loop()’: 
TimeTF:25: error: invalid conversion from ‘char*’ to ‘unsigned char*’
TimeTF:26: error: invalid conversion from ‘char*’ to ‘unsigned char*’ 
TimeTF:32: error: ‘class ros::NodeHandle’ has no member named ‘now’

I'm using ros_electric ubuntu 10.4 32 bit aurdino uno and aurdino 22

Hi Peter,

I think that the problem is that the electric release is actually an older version of rosserial. We broke that API a little while ago and updated the documentation on the website to reflect newest code. Could you try pulling rosserial from the repo and using it?

Just do :

hg clone https://kforge.ros.org/rosserial/hg rosserial

Thanks it works now just a note do a rosmake before copying ros_lib it will save a few headaches

Hey! I re-installed ROS a few days ago, an the rosserial does not come with the arduino tf example anymore! .... when I copy it from the website I get : error: invalid conversion from ‘char’ to ‘unsigned char’ when I run the arduino code. Is there any update on this?

thanks a lot!
