RoombaComm Gets an Update
     

Everybody
knows about Tod E. Kurt's cool book, Hacking
Roomba, right? Tod's well-known RoombaComm Java
Library has been updated
with support for the latest 500-series Roombas. The latest work was
done by Paul Bouchier and Jonathan Pitts of the Dallas Personal Robotics
Group, where there are several members working on Roomba projects. Due
to the amount of new development activity going on at the DPRG, Tod
decided to make the DPRG custodians of the RoombaComm code, which has
moved into a new home on the group's Subversion repository. Tod will
continue to take part in development too. As for future plans, there are
hints that TCP/IP support may be added as an alternative to RoombaComm's
current serial port support. So if you aren't already hacking Roombas,
go buy
a Roomba and Tod's
book so you can get in on the fun! The screen shot above is the
RoombaComm
Test App
GUI.
