hello everyone, basically i want to send twist command to my robot and get it moving but nothing happans when i send the twist commands...

i have successfully uploaded the ros_arduino_bridge sketch in to my robot, i can get it moving by sending "m 20 20" (through serial monitor) and get encoder data "0 0" (although i still don't have encoders plugged in) .

in my config file .yaml i have changed to the following settings:

# For a direct USB cable connection, the port name is typically
# /dev/ttyACM# where is # is a number such as 0, 1, 2, etc
# For a wireless connection like XBee, the port is typically
# /dev/ttyUSB# where # is a number such as 0, 1, 2, etc.

port: /dev/ttyACM4
baud: 57600
timeout: 0.1

rate: 50
sensorstate_rate: 10

use_base_controller: True
base_controller_rate: 10

# For a robot that uses base_footprint, change base_frame to base_footprint
base_frame: base_link

# === Robot drivetrain parameters
wheel_diameter: 0.146
wheel_track: 0.2969
encoder_resolution: 20 # from Pololu for 131:1 motors
gear_reduction: 1.0
motors_reversed: True

# === PID parameters
#Kp: 10
#Kd: 12
#Ki: 0
#Ko: 50
#accel_limit: 1.0

# === Sensor definitions.  Examples only - edit for your robot.
#     Sensor type can be one of the follow (case sensitive!):
#     * Ping
#     * GP2D12
#     * Analog
#     * Digital
#     * PololuMotorCurrent
#     * PhidgetsVoltage
#     * PhidgetsCurrent (20 Amp, DC)



sensors: {
  #motor_current_left:   {pin: 0, type: PololuMotorCurrent, rate: 5},
  #motor_current_right:  {pin: 1, type: PololuMotorCurrent, rate: 5},
  #ir_front_center:      {pin: 2, type: GP2D12, rate: 10},
  #sonar_front_center:   {pin: 5, type: Ping, rate: 10},
  arduino_led:          {pin: 13, type: Digital, rate: 5, direction: output}
}

i am successfully launching the ros communication with the arduino, even pin 13 with the LED is flashing
