Mysensorized Roomba

[Eawo]

Maybe this is off topic but I'm going to buy a roomba but it is so many versions. Will roomba 615 or 616 do the job or is the newer versions smarter cleaner? I have around 80kvd

[parachutesj]

@Eawo I do have a 581 and not 100% sure what has been changed on newer models. Maybe you ask in a roomba forum

[parachutesj]

All,
I did some updates also thanks to @Eoreh I updated my code a bit. Anyhow, no really news on software side but was able to fit it more or less completely inside of the Roomba.

1. I wanted to fit all inside and I think there is enough space but wanted to be able to disable it and thought about a dip-switch somewhere but then decided to have it connected via DIN as before. Means also no soldering on Roomba

2. finding a spot was easy:
   
   There is enough space on the side of the bin. (In picture, the external charging port was already removed)

3. I soldered all together and decided to opt for a Nano instead of a Pro Mini due to the lack of 3.3V on board. I know radio might be better powered with a voltage regulator but the reception and reliability is not too important here. Anyhow not experienced any issues so far. I also used the SMD radio to save some extra space.
   The voltage regulator has a heat sink mounted which is pointing where the charing port was and is getting some "fresh air" ;-)
   

4. all in place and ready to be closed again
   

5. closed without top plate
   

If it stops working or needs a reset, I only need to unplug and replug

[moskovskiy82]

@parachutesj Mind posting your finished code?

Also wonder what is the correct MQTT payload to start for example cleaning?

Upon start i see the following

mys-out/15/255/3/0/11 MYS Roomba
mys-out/15/255/3/0/12 2.1
mys-out/15/0/0/0/3 Roomba-Stop
mys-out/15/1/0/0/3 Roomba-Dock
mys-out/15/2/0/0/3 Roomba-Clean
mys-out/15/3/0/0/3 Roomba-Spot
mys-out/15/4/0/0/3 Roomba-Max
mys-out/15/5/0/0/3 Roomba-Power
mys-out/15/6/0/0/3 Roomba-Play
mys-out/15/100/0/0/6 Roomba-Batt-Temp
mys-out/15/101/0/0/39 Roomba-Batt-Proc
mys-out/15/102/0/0/30 Roomba-Batt-Volt
mys-out/15/103/0/0/30 Roomba-Batt-mAH
mys-out/15/104/0/0/36 Roomba-Batt-CHt
mys-out/15/105/0/0/36 Roomba-Batt-CHs

But publishing to

mys-in/15/2/1/0/3
mys-in/15/2/1/0/2

with payload 1 doesn't do anything

[gohan]

Just a question, but wouldn't it be an esp8266 a more compact solution? (Not to mention the quick ota programming) Or the roomba is running 5v serial output?

[parachutesj]

@gohan ESP is probably a good alternative. but then again you could also buy an after market wireless module for your roomba.
I am not sure about the serial output, but I think it is 5v.

but there is plenty of space for a nano or pro mini. wemos mini or nodemcu should also fit

[moskovskiy82]

ESP is the best solution although couldn't find the code with sensors (only clean/dock commands). I recently made a post on HomeAssistant forum - how wemos D1 fits nicely inside. You only need a buck converter and 4 cat5 wires soldered. And 5V serial output is not such a big problem as you need a voltage divider only on rx pin (didn't put it)

P.S. But then one of those "machine revolt weeks happened" so my esproomba didn't respond and then i burned it down. Next day my RPi3 went down with HA and lots of goodies. And today ESXi...

[gohan]

Oh man, that sucks a lot. Best luck for your disaster recovery

PS if everything you are touching is failing, be careful when you are going to pee 😂

i love this project. i am the owner of a roomba 620 and hooked it up to a arduino-mega. putting "clean()" in the code does what it should and the radiomodules are working fine. but it seems that i dont get values from the sensors and so nothing is showing up in homeassistant... :(

i checked the wiring about 5 times already and since starting for example "clean()" works i think it is a different issue...

did anyone else try this and ran into the same problem?

[banda banda]

there is plenty of space for a nano or pro mini. wemos mini or nodemcu should also fit
