KINDA good news for me ,ican add it to my electronic stuff i need to bring and bring back,i have over 8 boxes of electronic parts and test equipment so the company i work for will declare it for me

I dont have to declare anything

That's cool. If it is (or looks like) part of why you are over there, it makes it a lot easier.

The virtual serial port is called "HW Virtual Serial Port 3.1.2" and can be found using a search engine or just go HERE

When going to access the ip address assigned by your router using port 8090 will connect you to the COMM side of the WiFi. Using the ip address and port 23 will connect you to the Config pages of the WiFi adapter.

YES thats the one i put up awhile back in the forum ,when someone else needed a good free virtual port IT works great

Good Morning ElecHouse UART-WiFi Folks !

Last week I received my ElecHouse UART-Wifi Kit, and got it Connecting to my Home Router with help from Robot-Doc, who led me to the TLG10UA03, by ElecHouse.

Yesterday, he introduced me to the HW VSP (Virtual Serial Port).

I have ATTACHED BOTH to this posting :

UART-WiFitoVirtualCOMMPortCOM8.zip

HWVSP(VirtualSerialPort).zip

Please Notice The Port Initialization When ARC Serial Terminal Connects To COM8 !

This Init String is going to my iRobot Roomba; I get this far, BUT I have NO COM8 ROOMBA Control ?

Thank You All & Best Wishes,

I missed that you were trying to connect to a Roomba. I spent a lot of time talking about replacing Bluetooth. Hopefully will help others.

I ordered my WiFi board last night, and if it gets here before the 25th when I start a week "staycation" I will connect to my EZ-B and write a comprehensive instruction guide or tutorial before the first week of April (after that I can't promise timing, but I should be able to find a few hours before too long).

Good Afternoon EZ-Robot.com Hardware Team !

Last week I received my ElecHouse UART-WiFi Kit, and got it Connecting to my Home Router with help from Robot-Doc, who led me to the TLG10UA03, ElecHouse UART-WiFi ! ElecHouse UART-WiFi

This morning, Robot-Doc talked me through the ElecHouse UART-WiFi Test Proceedure, and guess what, IT Now Works ! You can make something Fool Proof, but you can never make it DAMN FOOL PROOF !

The Proceedure :

1-Applied 3.3 Volts to the UART-WiFi from Pins on the EZ-B.

2-Using Internet Explorer I immediately Logged In to its Local Router WebPage at its Default IP Address of 192.168.1.119.

3-On its WebPage, Robot-Doc had me set the Default Baud Rate to Roomba's 57600, and Save It.

4-I then Enabled HW Virtual Serial Port to COM8, and Verified its presence in Device Manager.

5-I opened ARC's Serial Terminal to COM1 and using iRobot Create's DB-9 to Roomba Cable, I started receiving Roomba Battery Charging Data when I plugged the Roomba Charger directly into its side Charging Port.

6-I then disconnected ARC's Serial Terminal from COM1, and connected the UART-WiFi's Serial Cable to the Roomba.

7-Setting ARC's Serial Terminal to COM8, GOT ME LOTS OF ROOMBA BATTERY DATA, WIRELESSLY !

8-THANK YOU ROBOT-DOC !

THATS the same i got before i left on my trip2 weeks ago .my WIFI works perfect I just read the data on it and work out what was needed to get it to work and thats it.

BUTyou do have to take it out of transparent mode before it will work on some of them at least mine .
