I guess some guys i see only have a one room or small house,so i do see a problem I guess may be glyph's is only idea

my smallest room in the house is 3meters by 4meters and biggest is 10 meters by 10 meters,kitchen is almost 5 m by 10 m,one reason i might use a map there is 3 bedrooms and one computer room,plus dining about the size of my kitchen ,plus living room and family room

@Rich you could just use an led to light the glyph up and that way the rest of the the light in the house won't matter, right? But that is the size I was going to try for also. So it works, When I am done in building and get back to programing I'll try it.

@robotmaker. It depends on what I am programming. Ab and siemens plcs and Fanuc robot's I am great at programing. I am teaching my self anything to do with computers like c.. I have looked into a class about it. But sometimes some one shakes the keys ring and I get distracted like. "Oh shinny"

@rural geek The interface NEATO LIDAR is the easy part only has a ttl I/O same as roomba other way is using a TTL to USB adapter and make API calls to it and using a computer

@RURAL GEEK thats cool i am doing the same,i know arduino,basic stamp ,some scripting ,AI software called LISP and dos

and started to TEACH learn C++,but with my electronic designing,plus everyone wants me to repair anything it hard,trying to say NO
MAY I WILL MOVE ? I can now since work is over for me and want a bigger house then i already have

You could use a reading light if lighting is a problem, their only 12 dollars. Plus it would give the base a pretty interesting look.

I'll be honest.... DUDE WHAT? confused I never was good at electronics. Yea I know its funny I'm an electrician but electronics is a week spot for me.

Do you mean the neato has a couple power wires and then some simple input and output wires. or is it a communication like serial type of thing?

@Erreul Yea that's the type of thing I was thinking el cheapo from the Dollar store

YES RURAL GEEK thats its 5 volts under 500 ma and its serial

NIGHT light work great and i use to be a electrician,after i got my degree i stopped ,but was so many years ago about 26 years ago,i was only for 2 years at that time,i took the test and passed and worked for my friend as going to college at same time,it was very hard on me.
