Hello there!
After hundreds of attempt using `roboteq_driver` to connect my Roscore with the motor driver FBL2360 firmware v1.8d, I realized that the library is written to work with the 1.7 version and I'm not able to fix it (probably because I don't know enough C++), so I decided to follow another route. Because I'm using a Raspberry PI b as main unit, I tried to connect both the devices with pure serial communication (without using ROS) just to test the results, and actually it works fine: if I give a simple command it executes it and I can also read diagnostic messages.
So I tried to use `rosserial` library but there is no node on the motor driver so I can't figure out how to simply connect the ROS with the motor controller simply sending serial messages on `/dev/ttyACM0` port.
I mean, If I could use Arduino it would be very easy, just a `Serial.write( 'motor_commands')`and its done; I would like to know if some easy solution exists or if I have to create some `rosserial` node which connects the devices.
