I want to interface the Pololu DC motor with ROS navigation stack. I use pololu motor driver for to control my motors. Can i use my Arduino UNO as the embedded board to convert the geometry msgs to motor speed commands.

I came to know the we can use Arduino Mega for to serve the purpose but what about the Arduino Uno. If possible where can i find the packages and libraries.

Yes, you should be able to use the Arduino Uno as the embedded board to control the motors provided that you have a client computer actually running ROS. You should look into the rosserial package, specifically rosserial_arduino

I would take a look at the roboclaw, it is a little more expensive than the arduino but it will do everything you need including PID for velocity and position with an auto tuner. I have a ROS driver for it. http://www.ionmc.com/RoboClaw-2x15A-M... https://github.com/sonyccd/roboclaw_ros
