Arduino and rosserial: reliable for industrial applications?

asked 2017-05-18 11:40:48 -0500

I'd like to run a ServiceServer on an Arduino board, but Googling around I'm not seeing a lot of success stories, just lots of posts about problems, with no solution. For example: this kind of thing.

This is for an industrial application, and we're looking for high-reliability. Questions:

Should I forget about Arduino and just go straight to C/C++?
Anyone here have good experiences with Arduino and rosserial's ServiceServer?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My advice would be to change your application to use topics instead of services.

The paradigm is not the same but it is the fact that a service is blocking that make it less reliable with a serial link.

Rosserial with only topics seems reliable enough because it is already used by several companies.

That's exactly what I ended up doing (using topics instead of services). Thanks.
