Title: Connecting the iRobot Create to the Gumstix Computer Stack for Wireless Access
Post by: chauhan4 on June 23, 2008, 12:02:37 PM

Hi,
I am a graduate student working with the iRobot Create but I have to say I don't have a lot of experience with them. I am trying to make the Create wirelessly accessible using a mini-computer called the Gumstix computer stack. The stack consists of a Verdex motherboard, a robostix microcontroller and a wifistick. The next step is interfacing the iRobot Create to the Gumstix and this is where I am stumped. As I mentioned before, I don't have too much experience with this and any kind of help will be useful to me. Has anyone done this in the past? Does anyone know how I could go about doing this? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Adheer

Here is a sample program that turns the Power LED to red/full-intensity on the iRobot from the gumstix connex.

Best of luck.  It's not an easy task, for sure.

You realize this was from two years ago right?
