Good afternoon partners.

I've just installed this morning Rasbpian/Groovy on a second raspberry of mine.

When I follow the instructions to get "rosserial" on

http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_arduino...

everything goes well. BUT :

When I arrive to the step Adding Custom Messages(Generating Message Header File) on

http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_arduino...

and try to generate the header file invoking

rosrun rosserial_client make_library.py ~/sketchbook/libraries My_Package

I'm given : [rosrun] Couldn't find executable named make_library.py below /home/pi/catkin_ws/install/share/rosserial_client

Taking a look into ~/catkin_ws/install/share/rosserial_client/src I have only the "ros_lib" folder and the "rosserial_client" folder, wich includes "make_library.py and __init__.py", is missing.

Source : https://github.com/ros-drivers/rosser...

I don't know if it could be a forgetting updating repo or something. I just wanted to feedback it.

Thanks

EDIT 1 : I have done the next

cp -r ~/catkin_ws/src/rosserial/rosserial_client/src/rosserial_client/ /catkin_ws/install/share/rosserial_client/src/

Now I can execute rosrun rosserial_client make_library.py ~/sketchbook/libraries My_Package and to get the header file to my new message types.

I just wanted to share this with the community beacuse it seems that during the compiling of rosserial with catkin_make ... make_library.py is missing.

I hope this could help you in the futuro

Thanks for reading

EDIT 2: This solution does not work now. Now if I invoque "rosrun rosserial_client make_library.py ~/sketchbook/libraries My_Package", it seems that it does nothing because it does not create the header. I don´t know what can we do ..Thanks

This looks like a bug in rosserial_client and should probably be reported against their bugtracker.

Thanks ahendrix for your interest. The problem now is that when I type "rosrun rosserial_client make_library.py ~/sketchbook/libraries My_Package" it´s like nothing happens ... Where can i report this ?

The same problem that nothing happens in hydro even though I downloaded the newest rosserial_client from the github.

I have not reported it yet. I´m reporting when I finished a class . Thanks to both of you.

In groovy/hydro, things were updated so that A) each client has it's own make_libraries.py script (for instance rosserial_adruino is different from rosserial_embedded_linux, this allows us to set things like endianness and whether the platform supports Float64) B) all messages are generated at once for every package on your path. Therefore, you need to run:

rosrun rosserial_arduino make_libraries.py <sketckbook_output_folder>

This will generate messages for ALL installed packages. The Arduino IDE tutorial has been updated, but not the one you reference (I'll update it right now).

Thank you for reply. All works well now.

Does the header file of a custom message depend on the ROS version to work with a simple arduino code ? I mean we want to send into a publisher four proximity sensor values so, if the .h can be done with other version, could be possible to do it with other ROS distro?
