Richard R, You have been great on the EZ Robot forum and your builds. D.J.Sures. I can,t wait to see what you offer the community, thank you so much for your great work! So exciting! Rich, you are always helpful and very resourceful, thank you, I have wondering about MELVIN and how you might incorporate your experience into your interest? Robot-Doc, many great interesting builds, can,t wait to what you add? So many great people that will jump on this new technology.

Thanks Rich and Doc... And Doc, keeps us posted on your progress with the R3s... And Rich... Eat more fish buddy... We don't want to lose that brain of yours...

Well I am just waiting on the V4 kit and other parts I have on preorder, once things arrive I will be able to bring some life into my robot ROAMIN, I am very anxious to get him up and moving and then I can post some videos of my creation :-}

ROAMIN looks pretty good @Stonewolf can't wait to see him in action!

The chair makes him seem monstrous but I'm guessing that without it, he's probably still 3 feet or so tall.

@Jeremie He stands around 3ft tall maybe a abit taller, but he solid and sturdy build, it well be something to bring him alive and to show others :-}

Richard R, Your last info with EZB4 was you could not communicate with IRobot temp, rec. packet? I could not find your last post. Was there any response from EZ robot? Any new info about anyone receiving info from IRobot Create/Roomba using the EZB4? Robot-Doc also had some issues with IRobot. This is what I have looking forward to. Any details on wiring connections and new information? Thank you for any help. Looking forward to my EZB4. Steve S

Hey Steve, this was my attempt... I am able to send commands to the Create using the UART, but still no luck receiving packets back like batt temp and such... Below is/was my code... I haven't got back to it in a week since the post, so maybe a little tweaking might get it to work... Or maybe I am a way off base... LOL... To my knowledge, I don't think DJ or EZ Robot was able to look at it yet... Not complaining as and I know the EZ Robot team has bigger fish to fry right now. I know he has the Roomba stuff on his list so we need to be patient... Anyway, here is my code...

# Using UART port 1 TX on D5 RX on D6
$x="null"
$y="null"
uartinit(0, 1, 57600)
sleep(1000)
uartWrite(0, 1,128,132) #Init iRobot create and place in full mode
sleep(100)
uartWrite(0, 1,142,24) #Query Roomba Battery temp in DegC... single byte
sleep(100)
#$x=UARTReadAvailable(0,1)
$x = UartAvailable(0, 1)

print("Bytes in buffer: " + $x)

$y = UARTRead(0, 1, $x)

print("Received: " + $y)

Richard R, I appreciate your update. Thanks, Steve S
