I'm a newbie to ROS, rosserial and Arduino. Nonetheless, I'm trying my hand at doing some development. When I tried to compile the rosserial_arduino example for HelloWorld using the Arduino IDE (1.0 rc2), it wouldn't compile as a result of the renaming of "Wprogram.h" to "Arduino.h". I solved the problem by editing ArduinoHardware.h to replace:

#include <Wprogram.h>

with:

#if ARDUINO>=100
#include <Arduino.h> // Arduino 1.0
#else
#include <Wprogram.h> // Arduino 0022
#endif

Hopefully (1) this is the preferred solution and (2) it gets propagated into the rosserial package.

Thanks for the patch -- in the future, feel free to file a ticket on our Kforge Trac: https://kforge.ros.org/rosserial/trac

Is there a plan to push this fix out in the debs? Still seems to be broken in ros-fuerte-rosserial.

My workaround was much simpler. In the .../ardiuno_1.0.?/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino directory: cp Arduino.h WProgram.h after this the string test compiled. I have no idea if it will actually work with ROS, but a step forward.

Here's a workaround which allows you to use the rosserial_arduino debs unmodified:

In your package, add a file called hack/WProgram.h, with these contents:

#include "Arduino.h"

In CMakelists.txt, somewhere before the final macro call, add:

include_directories(hack ${ARDUINO_SDK_PATH}/hardware/arduino/variants/standard)

This should let you compile the package with cmake, and should be a forward-friendly fix for once rosserial is updated.

This isn't very helpful to me. I have no idea where to add the hack file, how to modify Cmake and how to recompile the package. The information about getting ROS and IDE 1.0 is confusing and contradictory. Not everyone re-compiles from source everyday.
