Which service are you trying to call? What happens when you try to call it? Do you get a python stack trace?

Please edit your question with the full program that you're trying to run, and the full exception that you get.

I found da error in the code. I had been usin the wrong service name (rospy.ServiceProxy('digital_write', DigitalWrite). I changed it to 'arduino/digital_write' and its workin fine. Thank you
