/*
 * rosserial_embeddedlinux service client example
 *
 * Calls a service offered by a ROS service server and publishes what it receives from
 * the service server to the chatter topic. It also prints the received service response.
 *
 * You can run a suitable service on ROS with:
 * $ rosrun rosserial_embeddedlinux client.py
 *
 * When you run this program on the embedded linux system, client.py on the ROS workstation
 * will ask you to respond with a string. The string you give it will be passed back to this
 * service client, which will print and publish it.
