Roomba Interface

are you able to add the 3 buttons and more to the roomba interface ,like clean and other commands,main reason is that once you remove the 3 vacuum motors you have 3 high current switches to switch on a camera or anything else one thing great about the ROOMBA is that you can get one very cheap on ebay plus once you remove all vacuum motors have more space and less weight ebay mostly has thenm for about $30,i got a few from ebay ,plus got 2 from thrift store near me for $10 each

Thank you dude :D

Does that roomba control panel not have Clean, Max Clean, Spot, Vacuum, Brush, or Side Brush buttons?

Good idea using the roomba's pin-outs for those motors to turn on other stuff. that's smart!

You have to turn it on. If you check the documention, there is a wake-up pin that you can wire to a digital i/o on the ez-b. Offhand i do not know what it is. But you can read about it in the Roomba SCI interface Manual.

3 Kinects? That's awesome!
