Problems when using rosserial on Raspberry Pi (wrong checksum for msg length)

edit

Hello everyone,

I'm using an Arduino Mega 2560 (with Adafruit Motor Shield on it) and I'm trying to transfer data from it to a Rasperry Pi 3B using rosserial. However I have an error in communication when using the "Hello World" example that appears only with the RPi3 and not with my main computer.

When using rosserial from my main computer everything is working well:

rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py _port:=/dev/ttyACM0 _baud:=57600
[INFO] [WallTime: 1535317376.974559] ROS Serial Python Node

[INFO] [WallTime: 1535317380.120794] Setup publisher on chatter [std_msgs/String]

When running the same code from the RPi3 I got this error:

Seems to be a version related issue but I checked and the rosserial arduino library is up to date in the arduino (0.7.9). Maybe it's from the version difference between the computer and the RPi3 but I don't know what I can do about it.

Computer characteristics:

• Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
• ROS distro: indigo
• ROS version: 1.11.21
• rosserial_python version: 0.6.4

Raspberry Pi 3B characteristics:

• Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
• ROS distro: kinetic
• ROS version: 1.12.13
• rosserial_python version: 0.7.7
