the Roo232 converts the Roomba 5V TTL signals to RS232 signals and will allow any computer with a serial port to communicate with a Roomba. This allows any program that can issue serial commands to a COM port to control the Roomba. No level translation required!
This board comes fully assembled with a standard DB9 female serial connector and a MiniDIN-7 female connector. A standard 7-pin M/M Mini-DIN cable will connect from this board to any Roomba. An 8-pin Mini-DIN cable will also work, but you will need a 'straight-through' wired cable (a Mac serial/printer cable will not work).
Includes breakout area for direct connection to SCI pins, 5V, and the Raw battery voltage.
