Hello, i am running ubuntu 13.04 on UDOO and ros hydro. I have been trying to install sicktoolbox_wrapper on udoo since yesterday by following the "using sicklms" guide but unfortunately i get stuck at the first step, when i try to do "rosdep update" i get an error which says "AssertionError: unable to handle 'index' format version '2' please update rosdistro. But when i try to update it tells me "python-rosdistro is already the newest version".Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Which apt repository are you using?

According to the ARM Hydro status page, the sick packages should be installable through apt (they're currently marked as outdated because I'm working on updated builds).

Try:

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-sicktoolbox-wrapper

UPDATE

The UDDO installation instructions were using a very out-of-date ARM repository (I've updated them now); please update your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list to:

deb http://packages.namniart.com/repos/ros raring main

For some nodes, no output and no prompt is normal. I don't have much experience with the sick driver, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to do. Do you have an x86 machine that you can compare it with?

yes actually i use it sometimes on my laptop as well and it works right away.. Even when the sensor isnt connected.. i get this error- Unable to open serial port

I guess it is because m unable to see my sensor as a /dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyUSB0 device on UDOO.. I've tried compiling a kernel with cdc_acm module enabled but with no luck.. It still doesnt do anything.. :(

It's quite possible that the sick driver doesn't run well on ARM; you're probably one of the first people to try it. You should open a ticket and work with the package maintainers to troubleshoot your problem.

I just connected my usb memory stick, i can access the contents. It is being mounted properly but UDOO is not creating a device node for it as well. Could it be a kernel bug or something? or m i missing something here.

M sorry, i know this is not the place for such questions but i figured you could help me with this. i've tried most of the relevant forums but no replies whatsoever. The kernel version is 3.0.35

The issue on sicktoolbox_wrapper is https://github.com/ros-drivers/sickto... ; let's keep the discussion there now that we know this is a bug.
