Hello,

I would suggest creating a string and outputing that to the ROS computer, as shown here: http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_arduino/Tutorials/Hello%20World

That way, all you have to do on the computer side is subscribe to that topic. On the Arduino side, put whatever you want into the hello char array.

Let me know if that works for you :)
