Hi I am using rosserial arduino, from the tutorial link text I made my custom message file which contains string and integer data types in catkin_ws/src/beginner_tutorials/msg/Datatype.msg and converted it into a header file Datatype.h, After that I ran following commandrosrun rosserial_arduino make_libraries.py . It created header datatype.h in /sketchbook/libraries/roslib/beginner_tutorials. Now I am able to compile my header file . But while running serial_node.py I am getting following errors:

pankaj@pankaj-HP-Pavilion-dv4-Notebook-PC:~$ rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py /dev/ttyACM0`[INFO] [WallTime: 1461149079.336082] ROS Serial Python Node

Other examples of arduino like Hello world are working fine. I am getting error only when I use my custom message header.`Why am I getting this error ? please help.

Can serial_node.py access the msg definition? Looks like you haven't run message generation through catkin for your custom message package. Or you haven't added devel/install space into your path.

Hey Vmato thanks a lot. I was forgetting to add install path. It worked now.

I had a similar topic when publishing anything but std_msgs from rosserial_arduino. Specifically, I am publishing sensor_msgs/JointState messages. For me adding nh.negotiateTopics after all nh.advertise and nh.subscribe calls did the trick:

# subscribe and advertise topics
nh.subscribe(position_sub);
nh.advertise(joint_pub);
# give serial_node.py a chance to get to know the topics
nh.negotiateTopics();
