This evening we have been fed by by dad and step mum, been given a whole Victoria sponge that was surplus to a cafes requirements and acquired a Roomba 530... for nothing. The Roomba may have a fault, but seems ok so far and a bit of a Google suggests that a battery reset and charge/discharge cycle may solve the issue.
All in all, a fair evening I think :-)
Bit more of a Google suggests plenty of projects for it

An 18 month old and another on the way suggests plenty of vacuuming for it to do first :-)

ReplyDeleteNext you will be suggesting combining it with a Raspberry Pi so it can get some proper visual recognition stuff so it can just watch my daughter and go and clean where she was when she had snack! Or something :-) Just being able to switch it on via Bluetooth could be cool though, for those "bugger, came to bed but forgot to set it off" moments...
