Hi, I am running Ubuntu 11.10 with latest Fuerte install and arduino 0023 I have followed all the instructions on the websites, but when I try to compile the ros.pde sketch I get the following errors. Any help would be appreciated. -Scott

ros.cpp: In function ‘int handleRead()’: ros.cpp:238:21: error: ‘BYTE’ was not declared in this scope ros.cpp: In function ‘void statusPacket(int, int)’: ros.cpp:266:21: error: ‘BYTE’ was not declared in this scope ros.cpp: In function ‘void loop()’: ros.cpp:325:33: error: ‘BYTE’ was not declared in this scope ros.cpp:472:31: error: ‘BYTE’ was not declared in this scope ros.cpp:513:48: error: ‘BYTE’ was not declared in this scope

OK I found the fix from a related posting on a sparkfun site, apparently BYTE has been deprecated in the Serial package http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=30991

Thus

Serial.print(value, BYTE);

need to be replaced with:

 Serial.write(value);

So to fix this, edit the ros.pde file and remove all BYTE entries, (after backing it up first) then save it and it compiles perfectly!

I believe this has already been fixed in trunk, the Arduino-1.0 compatible releases will be out shortly, and so this won't be an issue.

Fergs. Is this fix now incl in the recent Oct 1/12 release of arbotix-0015.zip, that includes what appears to be a new Biolod pypose.ino file? Further: Rereading the Arbotix Package arbotix_firmware wiki & locating the Vanadium-ros-pkg Source, discovered a Mar 21/12 ros.ino. It compiles & loads

Yes, arbotix-0015 + the ros.ino in vanadium-ros-pkg should work fine with arduino 1.0+.
