I am trying to create a custom message for ROS noetic and implement it in a rosserial_arduino node. To do that, I first created my workspace:
mkdir neopixel_ws
then, I cloned the rosserial_arduino into src directory, and I created (in src folder) other folder named neopixel which contains the msg folder with my custom message. My custom message contains the following lines:
uint8 red
uint8 green
uint8 blue
uint8 pixel_number
bool enable
then, I modified the CMakeLists.txt and package.xml as follows:
https://gist.github.com/LeonardoJulianOcampo/e209896e6e9df80b475d7f535b31effa
after that, I go to neopixel_ws root and execute:
catkin_make
when finished, I ran catkin_make and source devel/setup.bash.
Finally, I try generate the header files for rosserial_arduino of my custom message. To do so, I ran:
rosrun rosserial_client make_libraries /home/leo/Arduino/libraries/ neopixel_msgs
The output of this command indicates the following:
...
Exporting nav_msgs
Messages:
MapMetaData,OccupancyGrid,GridCells,GetMapActionResult,GetMapActionGoal,GetMapFeedback,GetMapActionFeedback,Path,GetMapAction,GetMapGoal,Odometry,GetMapResult,

neopixel_msg,Exporting nodelet
Services:

Exporting pcl_msgs
Messages:

...
In the Arduino/libraries folder, the ros_lib folder is created with the default headers, but not with my custom message.
How can I resolve this? Is there any part of the process that I might be doing incorrectly? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
