It should work with all Roombas (and iRobot Creates) of the last 6-7 years.<br>
<br>
Initially, I plan to control the Roomba using a serial cable tether to an offboard laptop. Later, if I have time, I plan to have a Raspberry Pi onboard the Roomba, which can switch between running stored Racket programs onboard and being a WiFi-based bridge for controlling Roomba wirelessly from an offboard PC. (This would permit using DrRacket to develop/debug the program while still controlling the robot, and then running the same program on the robot without the offboard PC.)<br>

If anyone has any interest/need for this, let me know, and we can compare notes.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
