Is there a ROS package that takes serial port data and publish it on some topics? It would be very usefull, for logging serial data from sensor like GPS, ecosounder... I can't find any...

Thank

EDIT1: Based on this code I write this node and now I'm testing it:

#!/usr/bin/env python

        serial_port = rospy.get_param('~port', '/dev/ttyUSB0')
        serial_baud = rospy.get_param('~baud', 115200)
        # Creo que publisher que envía los datos al tópico pedido
        self.ect_data = rospy.Publisher(
            "depth_data",
            FloatStamped,

    def shutdown(self):
        """Unregisters publishers and subscribers and shutdowns timers"""
        rospy.loginfo("[ECT400] Sayonara Robot Adapter. Nos vemo' en Disney.")

def main():

    rospy.init_node('ect400_driver', anonymous=True, log_level=rospy.INFO)
    node = ECT400Node()

    try:
        rospy.spin()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        rospy.loginfo("[ECT400] Received Keyboard Interrupt (^C). Shutting down.")
    node.shutdown()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

It seems to work ok, but I would like to take some posible erros into account.
