There official website states that no information is contained regarding rosserial for Arduino on the latest verion of ROS i.e, Kinetic. Can I install manually? If so, please help me.

I have the same problem.

Our robot used rosserial_arduino on hydro and now I can't compile its source code under kame. Is it possible to install rosserial_arduino from source? Will it be supported in kame someday?

My solution for Ubuntu 16.04, ROS Kinetic, Arduino 1.8.5:

$ sudo apt-get update

Install newest version of Arduino from: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Linux , download page : https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software .

ROS and Arduino Compatibility:

$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rosserial-arduino
$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rosserial

To Install the ros_lib library in my Arduino folder which was built automatically (you may know it as /sketchbook):

$ cd Arduino/libraries/
$ rosrun rosserial_arduino make_libraries.py .

space . is VERY important in the line above

now should have a newly built folder called ros_lib in that directory. You could also validate it by navigating through Arduino IDE:

Open Arduino IDE: File -> Examples -> ros_lib

The whole process is described in a sequence of tutorials at Wiki ROS.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y \
                arduino \
                ros-kinetic-rosserial-arduino \
                ros-kinetic-rosserial
cd ~/sketchbook/libraries
mv ros_lib ~/ros_lib_backup
rosrun rosserial_arduino make_libraries.py ~/sketchbook/libraries

make_libraries.py might raise an error about tf. The error hasn't affected my applications.

The above script is from the official instructions but with "indigo" replaced with "kinetic".

I've only done this with Ubuntu 16.04.

Hi. I did everything but it did not work for me. I didnt get an error but I couldn't see ros_lib on examples. but it creates a ros_lib in the sketchbook/libraries. I changed libraries folder and I fixed it like that :

sudo mv ~/sketchbook/libraries/ros_lib /usr/share/arduino/libraries/
