rosserial error when publishing IMU data

asked 2013-03-27 12:34:54 -0500

I get the following error when I try to use an Arduino to publish data from an IMU:

balto@T510:~$ rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py /dev/ttyUSB0

Any ideas what would cause this error? Thank you in advanced.

The message was too large for to published. Created my own message just like the imu message but without the covariance matrices.

hello Tony, I am facing exactly the same problem. But I could not fix it in Fuerte any suggestion? did you used the same rawimu.h used in hector slam so i can use it directly?
