iRoomba iRobot Plugin

[MarcoGT]

I plan to buy a roomba, but the 980 would be too expensive for my needs; the 690 would it be fine but I read the firmware v3 is not supported by this plugin.
Any plan to have it supported? I assume only one the 980 will move to v3 too, am I right?

Thanks

Hi
No plans to add support for it - but happy to try; which can be a bit difficult remotely.

Base library seems to not support; but in theory and from what I can tell should remain possible.

Edit:
Further review of other code seems possible but 690 does not support same level of options as i7 and 980. But should be able to shutdown those issues with some debug logging and trial and error which willingly to have a go at.

Remotely possible that new changes to plugin for i7 and i7+ compatibility may actually support 690 already (i7 is on firmware 3 currently)....
remains to be tested....

Warning, this may be a dumb question.

I am trying to use the get password by pressing and holding the home button but I never hear any beeps and the get password always fails with a time out. I have the correct ip as I have fixed it.

Anyone else know how to get my missing beeps
Thanks

On a closer look at the logs I see this error and my robot does not play beeps it plays a bunch of tones.

Any ideas?

From reviews my understanding is the 985 is the same brain as the 980, but when I try to get the password and connect the plugin to the 985, it times out. Haven't looked at any logs yet, but curious if this suggests that in fact the 985 isn't compatible.

Will need the whole debug log from you trying to connect.

The good news - is it seems to get the password just something failing further downstream so hopefully will be fixable.

Just restart plugin with all debug options on, try to connect a you have done here and PM me the log and I’ll do my best to fix!
Also would be great to get the {IP}.config file that is saved in Username/Documents/Roomba directory to double check as well.

I have a 985 and it works beautifully with the plugin.

Thanks for the 985 feedback; Good to know.

The timeout is expected - as the handshake with iRoomba takes more time than the Indigo dialog likes. (and preferred not to thread this code off - as is only done once)

But it still should complete correctly and show log message or error otherwise.
(so essntially ignore the timeout box)

I don't appear to have an {ip}.config file, I have search the mac, perhaps I am wrong because I don't use mac's much so i am running on very limited knowledge of the file system.

Thanks

Great.
Thanks. Give me ten minutes and I'll have a test build ready..

Sorry further question - what iRoomba Model is this?

[deuan]

it's the 980

Thanks
Have you changed some of the output above - specifically adding a whole lot of 1s?

[deuan]

Yes, I am unsure of how sensitive the data is.

[deuan]

just a note, I did not add 1's I too out 10 characters and replaced them with 1's

Sorry - spent the last hour trying to figure out how the blid was a buggered as it was and thought a firmware change....
