The goal of my small project is to control SegwayRMP 210 with a joystick using ROS (Ubuntu 12.04 with ROS Hydro). I installed the segway RMP package using the following command

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-segway-rmp

Which i beleive is the same package as available on https://github.com/segwayrmp/segway-r...

I am able to correctly install and run the package but the ROS node does not connect to Segway RMP robot using serial.

Command line execution of ROS node:

rosrun segway_rmp segway_rmp_node _interface_type:="serial" _serial_port="/dev/ttyACM0"

Output:

All I can grab from the above log is that there is certainly some comms issue. Questions:

Is libsegwayrmp compatible with Segway RMP 210?
Does a serial port change from ttyUSB to ttyACM make a significant difference to execution?

Looking forward to a reply. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for a quick reply. Setting myself a part of dialout group makes it work fine. Now I get the following output: [ INFO] [1403655725.984780098]: Accel limits: linear: pos = 0.000000, neg = 0.000000, angular: pos = 0.000000, neg = 0.000000.

[ERROR] [1403655727.023388855]: No data from Segway... I believe that rosnode is not able to receive and parse data from Segway because of new API. Let me know if I'm correct or this can be fixed.
