We would like to announce the first release of a new rosserial library for
the Arduino platform. The rosserial library allows Arduinos to directly
publish and subscribe to ROS messages. There are also demos ranging from
controlling servos to using an Arduino and rxplot as an oscilloscope to
reading temperature sensors into ROS.
In addition to support integration with the Arduino platform, the rosserial
library provides a general point-to-point transport for ROS communication
over serial, which is intended for hardware that cannot support the full ROS
TCP/IP network stack. This library can be used to easily integrate a
wide-variety of low-cost hardware into ROS.
Debian packages are now available for diamondback and unstable.
