I've tried updating to the latest arduino 1.0.2 and the latest rosserial under electric with the same error.

This looks like you upgraded the computer to rosserial 0.3.0, but did not update your Arduino libraries and/or re-upload the code to the Arduino. We recently added the md5 checksum to each topic negotiation so that users are alerted about changes in messages (which causes difficult to debug errors).

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

I have the same error on 11.10 64bit machine. I've done a fresh install of Electric, rosserial and the 64bit arduino 1.0.2. Also the HelloWorld sketch will not compile unless I change the char declaration to unsigned char.

Specifically I am getting "A tried to publish before configured topic id 125" preceded by "unpack requires string arguement of length 4"

The same thing happens unde the 0022 IDE. (I do have to change the char to unsigned to compile.)

As far as I know the ros electric install is good, (turtlesim works)
