Hi!

I download the program for my sony ericsson w760i and the first three times it worked well. Yesterday, I was creating a midlet based on your code; however, it didn’t work well. The problem is that when I went back to run roombactrl again, it wasn’t was able to find the serial port of my computer; it finds my computer, but not the serial port, I think it’s the same problem tha v3iuser has, with the difference that the program worked well for the first 3 times.

What do you think could be the problem?

Just something extra to add. The voice implementations works fully now in Blackberry Bold 9700. I had forgotten to add the sound files of different commands in my project folder. I believe my project should work in any Blackberry smart phones.

Just to let know everyone, I have just tested the code I have written on Blackberry Bold 9700, software v.6.

Apart from small irrelevant differences (some of sound files mentioned in my 2010 addenda did not work), I controlled perfectly my robot.

Previously I had controlled the robot from a Nokia N97.

Thanks Todd for your project.

I used mostly your code to control a 8051-robot “Robo-51″.

Some extra ideas were gotten from Pedro Dias’s project for NXT Lego (I believe using your code).

All projects can be seen at:

I am a university student and have a final year project that requires me to be able to connect to a roomba and a meccano spkyee and enable a user/users to race the two robots through bluetooth. The user/users will be able to use accelerometers to control the robots and the robots will be able to race themselves also. This has been so much help and any feedback that anyone can provide would be extremely useful.

Thanks all.

I finished my program using RoombaCtrl as a guide. It basically sends via Bluetooth the key that the user presses on the cell phone. I created a tutorial in spanish using Mobile Processing…

Hello Todbot

Thanks for sharing your program and library. I will try to write a simple COM port communication with a PC using MobileProcessing.

Gratz on your project :D
