And,I have check my board,too. The RoombaCommTest could control my roomba 440 forward,backward,vacuum-on/off,beep hi/lo. Everything is ok apart from reading sensor status. Do you have ideas??

I've not played with the Roomba stuff for a while. You might want to check out the latest version hosted on the DPRG site: http://www.dprg.org/projects/2009-07a/ Hi Morris,

I have a roomba 440,and I built rs232 board too. Your Java program is OK to control my roomba 440 with that board. But,the problem is the program can get the sensor status of the roomba 440. Do you have any idea for this?? Your book is great!!!

I'm strangely drawn to this book, though, just to see if there's anything new elsewhere in it.

Good information here. I am running into problems where the serial port is getting out of sync and I think I just found out that only unplugging the battery and plugging it back in will correct the situation :( BTW, the longest command is actually the script command which can take up to a max of 100 bytes.

Just this one page has answered many questions. yesterday I put together a bluesmirf, powersupply and connector and tonight found your new website. the sample chapter has enabled me to connect the computer to the bluesmirf and now I have it communicating with my computer thanks to all the software dowmloads. I preordered the book last week and looking forward to many more hacks! Great write up!
