I don’t really know much about the insides of RoombaComm, but under Packaging there is no windows version. When I am on my Mac, there is a program file, but I can’t connect my Roomba to my Mac because I don’t know how to set it up with Snow Leopard. There is not any Windows version of RoombaCommTest. Can you please make one?

Hi Sjimi, It should be compatible. The current maintainers of RoombaComm modified it explicitly to do this.

Is the RoombaComm compatible with the iRobot Roomba® 530? Just because we are working a thesis around swarm robotics and have these at our disposal.

I got your Book from Amazon, Book is great detail but It will need to update becuase Roomba came out more Newer model. I have Model 530 and at friest I cannot find the 8 Din connector after searching around many website until I found in forum on how to get the connector to be ready for the project.

We are not able to get the batch file roombacommtest to run on Windows 7 64-bit (nor can we run any other java-based roomba applications, such as SimpleTest) — can anyone help? By the way, we are able to run all RoombaComm examples on Vista 32-bit platforms.

Thanks. Where can I download a copy of it where I download it and double click it and use it? (Mac osx)

I don’t know anything about Java. (Besides it being a Coffee)

Yes it does. Check out my review of the Create:

Does it work with the iRobot Create?

I don’t know if this question is out-of-bounds or not, but I would like to import roombacomm as a whole project into eclipse. I just made a first attempt at it without actually knowing what to expect.

Will the import wizard successfully get the whole project under control this way?

I’m using a very recently installed/downloaded eclipse
(Build id: 20090920-1017)

Thanks again.
