Other things that could work quite well are: -Plug computers like guruplug, ultraplug, pogoplug, etc. -Freescale MCIMX53 starter board. -Beagle/panda board -Trimslice They all run linux and have a small form factor. Some come with bluetooth and wireless, built-in, and use very little electricity like your cell phone. So you can use a small battery pack.

It doesn't have all the pins you need. You can use an old Mac serial cable or get a cable from SparkFun. You can use a Basic Stamp 2, but you can’t use a PS/2 cable.

Can the Roomba be interfaced with the Basic Stamp 2 using a PS/2 cable? It fits into the Roomba with the tab removed, but would it work? I have a question.

How/Where do I start? Many thanks Hi,

is this site still updated? …I just bought a 555 model and its been unmodified for almost a week….

How/Where do I start?

Many thanks

It has disrupted my intire life! But, I am trying to be patient. Some people have had success. I have the same identical problem also. It has disrupted my intire life! But, I am trying to be patient.

But this same problem still occurs regardless if I have the arduino hooked up to my PC or not. :( I do know that; that’s a pitty because it’s a heck of a lot harder to debug with that issue.

This is because when you use the USB port, the RX/TX lines of the Arduino are claimed by the USB chip. If you'd like to use both the USB serial connection and the Roomba at the same time, you should use a software serial port library for the Roomba connection, like LadyAda's exellent <a href="http://www.ladyada.net/make/eshield/download.html" rel="nofollow">AF_SoftSerial</a>.

I'm using a roomba dirt dog, but I don't think its any different from a regular roomba software wise. I’m having the exact same problem as Reece with my arduino.
