I have a gray and black one they sent me on a warranty claim that looks much like the roomba sage. I'm very new at this, and cannot figure it out. CAn someone help me get into the right direction, please? sfang125@live.com I have a Arduino (Deumilanove) as well that doesn’t respond to the bump-turn program… it just goes straight until I pick up the roomba… I have a gray and black one they sent me on a warranty claim that looks much like the roomba sage.

I would like for you to share your adventure with me. Mine does not work properly. Thanks, yhmmc@yahoo.com Colin,

I think other have, but I don't know any links. Google for "roomba robotic mapping" perhaps. I’ve not done any mapping code for the Roomba. I think other have, but I don’t know any links.

I just got delivery of my compass sensors and bluetooth module, and I have already had success with the IR rangefinder sensor. :-) I just need to work out a voltage-distance conversion function that works with the GP2Y0A21YK. Also, in two minds whether to have 2-3 IR Rangefinders, fixed at forward, left, right, or to mount on servo. I guess with the servo solution, would have to calculate absolute direction on the fly, as well as rotate servo, which would be slower? I have a very 'skinny' flat, so I aim to recalibrate location by checking for the various doorways. I am also wondering if I can store my flat's floorplan in Arduino memory (in roomba-width granularity) or whether I need to offload this to a PC. I know when you are working in bits, 1028 is a lot, but... :-) thanks again Colin Tod, Thanks for that.

As long as you feed the Roomba's power into the "Vin" connection (or the barrel jack), it works just fine. Hi Colin, Yup you got it.

From specs, it looks like it can do it, but I have worries of overheating the onboard 7805 or whatever it is, or damaging the board. I intend to add some additional navigation sensors (compass, IR rangefinder, etc). Do I have to build an external circuit? cheers Colin Hi,
