Hey Community!
My parents just got a Roomba, which, being a robotics person, interested me. Since I know DJ and other members have hacked roombas, I was curious if there were any pointers people may have, such as the hack itself, or code, or other innovative ideas they've had with there Roomba. But firstly, does the 655 work with the hack?
Thanks, Tech
@Tech... well that sucks.... I have one (Roomba 530) you can have for dirt cheap $35.... LOL No pun intended. It's used but works great.... or you can check out eBay for one...
Cheers Richard
$35? Is it complete? Is that just the vacuum or are other accessories available too?
@Tech yep, with dust bin, brushes and battery... you have a charger (your parents Roomba) so you don't need one... Like I said, it is used, but works great...
Could I get some photos?
Sure.... There is some minor yellowing on one side of the Roomba... nothing really just some minor sun yellowing.... Everything else is perfect... A bargain for $35...
Great thanks! I'll let you know about it soon.
No Probs...
Cheers
Okay. I'm waking this thread up again. I am using the roomba again, and downloaded Richards cloud project and got it operating. What I want to figure out is the wiring to receive data from the roomba. In one of the past posts @Richard_R said that you would connect a wire to pin 4 on the roomba and another UART port on the ez-b, but which ports on the ez-b V4 are uart?
Thanks.
