Rosserial connection doesn't work due to signal

Hi all,

I have an arduino MEGA and I want to communicate via rosserial with my ros node.

Somewhere in my arduino code I have the following line.

if(intensity[n] <= myCounter) 
{
        digitalWrite((2*(n-8))+shiftSaidaInicial, LOW);
}

When I try to make the connection running rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py /dev/ttyACM0 it says that it's unnable to conenct to the device.

However, if I change the previous line to the following it syncs perfectly.

if(intensity[n] >= myCounter) 
{
        digitalWrite((2*(n-8))+shiftSaidaInicial, LOW);
}

The only thing I changed was the <= to >=. Sadly, so the code makes sense, I need the <= instead..

Anyone knows why this is happening?

Thanks!

I'm not an Arduino expert, but does it use pin-multiplexing for the serial and the DOUT? If so, your first version may be messing with some of the pins needed for your serial connection.

As @gvdhoorn mentioned, if n == 0, you will apply digitalWrite() on the pin 0 that is the serial RX pin on the Arduino MEGA and the serial communication will no longer work.
