[ros-users] tcpros on ethernet-enabled embedded devices

Hi,

The closest thing I was able to find is rosduino, which does bring itself up
as a node and publish a topic, but it looks pretty hacky and
single-purpose:
https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/branches/trunk_cturtle/sandbox/arduino/sketch/rosduino.pde

Is there something else that I'm missing?

M.
