Alright so, before I updated the firmware I was able to move my Irobot wirelessly via EZ-b. This older version had an option for ports and now it is gone. I used to use D-8 and now it looks like its preset on D-0. Im stuck and so is my robot! Please help ASAP. This is a senior project.. eek
I tried moving my servo cable to D-0 but I had to kind of jam it in.
Hello DJ,
It's not a big issue with me but just wondering if you still plan on coming out with a new Movement Panel for the I-Robot Create/Roomba. You had mentioned previously that you were working on one that works with input as well as output? Thanks Much.....Rick
It's the plan. Rome wasn't built in a day
. Patience young sky walker. As a corporation that's achieved many things to make your robot dreams come true, we obviously have a list of planned deliverables when we say that we'll do something. However, you have to give us time to develop. Ill be stepping away from the forum for a while. lots is delayed because I've been spending too much time here.

In regards to the waking up a Create 2 from sleep, have you tried the Power Control Toggle pin 3 on the Cargo Bay Connector?
I don't have a Create 2, but that is described as "Turns Create on or off on a low-to-high transition"
Regards, Frank
Thanks DJ, I completely understand.
Faengelm,
The create 2 doesn't have the cargo bay connector so that connector pin isn't available to me. I have resolved the problem of waking the create 2 with a contact closure across the cleaning button controlled by ezb controller. Works very well. Thanks much. Rick
@rbonari Thanks for pointing out the lack of a cargo bay connector in the Create 2. I know the Create had one and it was based on the Roomba 400 series that still had the DD line whereas the Create 2 is based on the Roomba 600 series which has replaced that with a BRC line.
I had seen the items removed notice but didn't realize that they took out the whole connector! That is a big change as there were also some interesting features such as battery power @ 1.5 amp
Thanks, Frank
Yes, that battery power at 1.5 amps was a big loss. Just means I will need to go inside and connect heavier guage wire and run from the battery thru a fuse to the outside world. Will use a step down voltage regulator and adust it to about @7.6 volts to power the ezb controller, etc. For my particular project I won't need much power from the create battery. Rick
