A new girl in town

Hi again, just a short update..
As mentioned earlier, the other robot Wilma is kinda old.. So I ended up buying a new used bot, and she's called Betty :)

Roomba arrived

soo, Roomba arrived last week as planed.. it was a bit older than expected, and the battery was totally dead.
I wanted to see if the rest of the robot even worked, so something had to be done :)

I luckily had an old laptop battery laying around, that I could use for this :D
And it gave me 1 hours of fun playing around with the bot

Now I'm just waiting for the new battery to arrive...

And I need to make some small ramps for all the doorsteps in our apartment :)

My next project.. intelligent Roomba brain!

So this Thursday, I'll get my self a Roomba Discovery SE (model 4220)

It's a little old but it was cheap, and the suction part haven't changed that much on the newer versions.
The battery properly needs some work, as its the original one..
And then I have plans on making a new controller/brain for the robot, with some self mapping program, so every corner will be cleaned, and not just in the chaotic way Roomba does it !

So there will properly come up a guide, on replacing the batteries with some cheap cell's bought on eBay,
And a guide or work log on my Roomba brain surgery
