I gotta say what a great improvement with Roomba controls in this release I no longer have a hard time getting Roomba to respond with Roomba Init and movements and just connecting in general, I always had to wait a few minutes and then unplug the serial USB and plug back in ,the Roomba would then beep and start responding to controls. Now it happens right away with this latest release,connects every time, great stuff!
So I seem to remember you added some new switch in the Ultrasonic sonar ARC panel. I Have 2 Sonars,I can quickly add to the Roomba and give better obstacle avoidance,so that new switch or check mark helps it to combine with other navigation skills? I will be trying it out in the morning to see what cool stuff it does.How should they be mounted...oh you know what, you pointed out that info tab for all the new skills ...I will have a good read on all that info ,hate to bug you so much when you hardly ever sleep!xD so just ignore ,I'll figure it out.
Edit-----Oh I guess the sonar looks the same in the panel after checking now, I will just use it as always left and right on front.
