First of all. Thank you to everyone. Specially sam26. really nice of you to help and suggest multiply times. Thanks fellow roboteer.

I managed to get it working from everyones help. Now I've with success run a node in ros with rosserial and arduino to spin a motor and I've read coordinates from my spacemouse with spacenav_node tutorial.

I'm so happy. Thanks again. unfortunately this also means I'll now start asking more questions haha.

Sorry trying to run ros-serial for ros and arduino. - I updated the original post for more info.

btw I'm pretty knew to this only doing basic tutorials and the turtle sim, gazebo so far and two month of ubuntu use. I'm unfortunately kinda clueless now.

hey thanks After reading your comment I went through this tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/... - worked out great - no issues. then I tried again - same result:

kevin@kevin-Lenovo:~$ cd dev/catkin_ws/ bash: cd: dev/catkin_ws/: No such file or directory What can it be?

I don't know what is wrong, but everytime I follow a tutorial and have to use the catkin workspace src folder or similar then I get an issue.

I'm in doubt can this issue be solved? what can I do to fix it? Or do I have to reinstall ROS?

Just an example but this is everytime I try with anything:

kevin@kevin-Lenovo:~$ cd dev/catkin_ws/src/
bash: cd: dev/catkin_ws/src/: No such file or directory

is the issue the location? /home/kevin/ros/catkin_ws

I use ROS Indigo and Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

I'll be so grateful if someone can help me solve this. I would love to learn ROS. Thanks have a great day to all.

btw I'm trying to run ROS with arduino through ros-serial:

$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rosserial-arduino
$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rosserial

$ cd dev/catkin_ws/src/
$ git clone https://github.com/ros-drivers/rosserial.git
$ cd dev/catkin_ws/
$ catkin_make
$ catkin_make install
$ source install/setup.bash

Hey unfortunately not. I have tried to learn more c/c++ programming meanwhile and maybe I should look into it again. Any way if you figure it out or find more information please share it here for all to see. Thanks.

Hi all.

Does any one have a project which makes you connect an arduino to ROS, in order to control a robot with two motors connected to a h-bridge, just as a beginner project to get started?

Thanks, best regards!

Thank you corb. I've gone through all the beginner tutorials before I started trying to get the Kinect working.

Would it be better to invest in a Raspberry Pi or another controllerboard (Which one then) in order to use ROS for Robotic Platform development and design?

Hi all.

I really want to get into ROS but I am having quite a few problems. I only know the basic of programming, but my interest is much more in mechanical design and construction. That's also the reason why I am so much interested in ROS.

Is there a place where you can have a forum log, so it will be easier to get help than asking a question everytime. I am on my own with this in my spare time.

Also I'd liked to make the Follow me robot with the kinect sensor, but so far I can't make it work, but the kinect is connected since I can access the dual screen view with $freenect-glview and therefore I think I'll need to reinstall everything from what I can read from another guy having the same problem. is it common that ROS packages gives a lot of trouble installing or is it because of all the other drivers the kinect uses making it much more complex?
