HI everyone!

I used wjwwood_serial to connect my RS232.And i installed by use sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-serial in computer1 and laptop.

Then I created package and wrote code, let it can listen to ROS node. And it can run perfect in computer1,but when i copy this package to laptop and run. It shows Unable to open port.

my code:https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B02FisAlf-IXTGVmclV0UW11QTg&usp=sharing

Has your user the rights to use the serial port on the laptop? Try sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever your serial port is)

Hi ! I just see the email this weekend,i so sorry for reply too late.If you want to use this package,you just need to sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-serial .Then you can use serial like in python or c++,just like #include <serial serial.h="">.
