Control Roomba with Computer

Control your Roomba with your Computer. You’ll need: – A Roomba that was made in 2005 or after. I think all the 500 series Roombas will work but make sure it has an SCI port. iRobot will be discontinuing the SCI port in future Roomba models. – Roostick, or your own serial interface – Mini-DIN cable – RoombaComm program – Eclipse IDE – not mandatory but if you want to debug then you’ll find it helpful. – I also recommend buying the book, Hacking Roomba, by Tod E. Kurt Where to get the stuff you’ll need to control your Roomba. Roostick, Mini-DIN cable – www.sparkfun.com Eclipse development environment – www.eclipse.org RoombaComm program – hackingroomba.com (search on page for roombacomm-0.96.zip) or the newest version www.dprg.org (search on page for roombacomm source)
