I am using ROS Indigo, Ubuntu 14.04LTE and Arduino UNO. I need to control a hobby servo via arduino using RViz GUI. If I move the scroll bar, the motor should rotate.

Easy job :-)

Use firmata firmware for your arduino ( http://firmata.org/wiki/Main_Page ) and a simple python script using https://github.com/MrYsLab/PyMata

Now you can write a small python-node for ros and enjoy rviz.

I did it the same way for testing my robots. https://github.com/mockbot/MockBot

Can you send me a package with URDF and Arduino code to control one motor ? I am actually bad in programming. Can you please help me ?

Load firmata to your UNO and try this as base for your tests: https://github.com/mockbot/MockBot/bl...
