Hi, I am using mavros to read the signals of an AMP2.5 with a GPS connected, on ROS indigo and Ubuntu 14.04.

I install the package by executing

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-mavros ros-indigo-mavros-extras

It seems that the package is installed correctly. Then I connect the AMP2.5 hardware, the serial number is ttyUSB0. I launch the package by

roslaunch mavros apm2.launch

It shows that 'FCU: DeviceError:serial:open: No such file or directory'.

Hence, I change the FCU to /dev/ttyUSB0:57600 and GCS to empty.

roslaunch mavros apm.launch fcu_url:=/dev/ttyUSB0:57600 gcs_url:=udp://@

And get a result of "FCU: DeviceError:serial:open: Permission denied".

I also try rosrun. I think it is equivalent to roslaunch.

rosrun mavros mavros_node _fcu_url:=/dev/ttyUSB0:57600 _gcs_url:=tcp-l://

And got the similar result.

[ INFO] [1446505530.541152594]: FCU URL: /dev/ttyUSB0:57600
[ INFO] [1446505530.541330754]: serial0: device: /dev/ttyUSB0 @ 57600 bps
[FATAL] [1446505530.541495296]: FCU: DeviceError:serial:open: Permission denied

I think the problem is about permission. However I do not know which file's permission should be changed, and how to change.

I also has a question about FCU and GCS. What do them mean?

I am pretty new to ROS, could you please give a hand-on answer? Many thanks.

I also try sudo roslaunch.. but it says no such command..

Comment by pinocchio on 2015-11-02:
Run

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0

The result is

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Nov  2 21:32 /dev/ttyUSB0

Add your user to group dialout and then reboot.

sudo gpasswd -a $USER dialout

After reboot you may check your groups by groups.

Little strange that your APM detected as USB0 (usb-uart adapters like FTDI) rather than ACM0 (USB CDC-ACM protocol which implemented by atmega32u4).

Hi, thanks for your reply. If I use series port, it detects ttyUSB0, but if I use usb port, it detects ttyACM0.

Comment by pinocchio on 2015-11-03:
Hi @vooon, I still do not know what do FCU and GCS mean. Thank you

Comment by pinocchio on 2015-11-03:
Thanks @vooon. Does it mean I do not need to care for GCS and OBC, if I only read the signal from the IMU?

Comment by vooon on 2015-11-03:
Yes, you can leave defaults.
