Hi Peter,

Was your approach a counterpart of rosserial on Arduino?

Our approach can communicate directly with a ROS master on a PC via 
UDPROS (over Ethernet), so there is no need for a rosserial server. As 
for message generation, I simply used rosserial's C++ message header 
generation and copied some of those headers into my code. A message 
generator can be added to the repo later for generating messages before 
compiling the software.

The code is actually ready for testing. Currently, STM32 can publish IMU 
and ultrasonic sensor values to a PC. I will also do some performance 
evaluation to see the limits, i.e. max number of nodes, publishers, 
subscribers, etc.
