Difference between models

Description

Device info (high level)

Feature Status Comment
Reflashable yes With a way to revert back to original firmware
Original firmware is readable yes
No soldering required yes
Linux Board TODO Although it has a linux board, it was decided not to use it. Using a separate board is much more convenient. If you think that using existing linux board might be useful, then your contributions are welcome.
Docking Station yes
Remote control depends on the model Possible through web interface with LibreRVAC
Wheels standard Regular spring-loaded wheels
Sensors infrared
Cliff Sensors how many?
Bumper 2 switches It is possible to read them separately
User Input 3 buttons
Display leds PCB has support for 7-segment display, so maybe with a little bit of soldering and 3D printing you can upgrade
Speaker buzzer
Wi-Fi no Should be installed for LibreRVAC
Bluetooth no
Camera pointing up Pointing up. TODO info about the camera

Device info (low level)

Microcontroller pic32mx360f256l PIC32 is fine as long as you tolerate problems with their toolchain
Accelgyro TODO
Main Brush Spinning Direction yes
Side Brushes Spinning Direction no
Separate Control of Side Brushes no
Current Sense on Wheels yes
Current Sense on Main Brush encoder No, but has an encoder instead. Weird.
Real-time clock no

Supported features (high level)

Feature Legacy LibreRVAC Comment
Web Interface no yes
Scheduled Start no yes, but no user interface yet
Wall following no* planned *in extremely small areas (3x1 meters) the robot may eventually start cleaning around the corners. It has only been observed once.
Curved path only when docking planned
Room mapping probably planned In legacy firmware the robot is moving in parallel lines, but collected info suggests that it is unable to build a map

Supported features (low level)

Feature Legacy LibreRVAC Comment
Charging yes yes
Wheels yes yes
Main Brush yes yes
Side Brushes yes yes
Bumper yes yes
Beeper yes yes
LEDs yes yes
User Buttons yes yes
Wheel Buttons yes yes
Sensors yes planned
Cliff Sensors yes planned
Accelgyro yes planned
Camera ? no No info about on-board GNU/Linux board

Extra info

Multiplexer frequency is about 28.25 Hz.

Weird IR pwm – 900 Hz (55% duty cycle? Probably just 50 Hz)

Linux ↔ PIC baud rate is 550400 (TODO or is it?)

MID_RECEIVER_R (SIGNAL, +5V, GND)

Current consumption

mode consumption
idle 200mA
working 1.15A
working (without brushes)0.75A
sleep 80mA which is 25 hours with full battery under perfect conditions

ICSP

ICSP pins – CLOCK, DAT, MCLR, VCC, GND (same on charger)

Charging

Charger requires 350-1500 Ohm resistance between contacts.

P6LED 1 dim
P7LED 3 dim
P9all LEDS bright
P10LED 1 and LED 3 dim
P13LED 2 dim

Interrupt priorities (higher number means more priority):

  1. Core Timer; Sensors; ADC (only for battery); Buzzer; Motors
  2. Charging
  3. UART Change notice
  4. UART Timer

Timers:

  1. Sensors
  2. Beeper
  3. Motors / Charging
  4. UART
  5. Charging
