ROS Help: rosserial not generating custom message headers

[Jeffrey Cicolani]

I accidentally started hijacking one of Luke's Alfred threads so I'm starting a new one.

This is the thread on ROSAnswers:

http://answers.ros.org/question/189914/arduino-ide-does-not-find-msg-header/

And on Homebrew Robotics:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/hbrobotics/A7oR_SiX2o0

It boils down to rosserial isn't generating the header file I need to use my custom message. I've fallowed the tutorials but I must have missed something, probably some basic Linux thing that I am completely unaware of.

The hbrobotics thread has my CMakeLists.txt, package.xml, and 8Leds.msg files attached. If it's something I missed I need to know so I don't repeat it. Luke's suggestion is to start over with earlier versions of both Linux and ROS. If I can't find an answer otherwise by tonight that's probably what I'm going to do. I just don't want to spend another 2-3 hours reinstalling and configuring just to find out I didn't put a comma someplace or didn't put a line or reference in some vague file nestled deep, deep in Linux that didn't get documented in any tutorial because it's Linux and of course you'd have to put a reference to your dog's tracking chip serial number in the hidden file .wtf_is_this_file_for_anyway...

Do you get my frustration? And yet I keep going down this path because Microsoft's offer is labyrinth of dead ends. At least ROS and Linux have a community to help.

But I digress...

Jeff,

Before doing a reinstall.  The computer for Alfred has Ubuntu 12.04 Precise and ROS Hydro installed.  if you have time to swing by the Hackerspace, I would suggest plugging in to one of the lounge monitors/keyboards and replicating your work there

There's no security on Alfred.  So the username password is alfred/alfred.

I would still recommend downgrading to Precise/Hydro because this is going to be a common response for any issues until Indigo is more stable.  As you can tell by the responses that you've gotten elsewhere.

I'd normally be there tonight, but I'm going to a game industry meetup.

Yeah, got a response on hbrobotics saying the same thing. So, will likely do that regardless.
