ROS Serialization Values Error

edit

Hi there,

I am trying to do a simple ipc over ros serial using the publish subscribe module. The data is a 2D array shaped thus: 10001 x 7. I write my poublisher like so

import rospy
from rospy.numpy_msg import numpy_msg
from rospy_tutorials.msg import Floats

import os
import numpy as np
from os.path import expanduser, join


def talker(data):
    pub = rospy.Publisher('/torobo/teach_joints', numpy_msg(Floats),queue_size=1)
    r = rospy.Rate(10) # 10hz
    while not rospy.is_shutdown():
        pub.publish(data)
        r.sleep()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    filepath = join(expanduser('~'), 'Documents', 'LyapunovLearner', 'ToroboTakahashi', 'data')
    name = 'state_joint_pos_only.csv'
    filename = join(filepath, name)
    data =  np.ravel(np.loadtxt(filename).astype(np.float64), order='A')
    np.set_printoptions(suppress=True)
    print(data[:70])
    try:
        rospy.init_node('joints_pub_node')
        talker(data)
        rospy.spin()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        rospy.logerror("shutting down ros")

And my subscriber is something like this: import rospy import numpy as np from rospy_tutorials.msg import Floats from rospy.numpy_msg import numpy_msg

def callback(data):
    np.set_printoptions(suppress=True)
    print rospy.get_name(), "I heard %s"%str(data.data.shape)
    ret_data = data.data.astype(np.float64)
    print(ret_data[:70])#.reshape(10, 7))

def listener():
    rospy.init_node('listener')
    rospy.Subscriber("/torobo/teach_joints", numpy_msg(Floats), callback)
    rospy.spin()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    listener()

However, I find that the data I am sending and the one I am receiving are vastly different in values. Here are printouts from both nodes:
