Roomba 530 and Scheduling

[crypted]

1610 is 4:10pm, and 1810 is 6:10pm.

Since you are set up to send commands, you can send the master reset command "7" to clear your schedule as well as all other timers and registers in the MCU.

Thanks for informing of "7" for reset. This is added to my ever-growing notes file.

Yeah, I operate on the 24-hour clock with the military and all... But, my mind just had a big blow out it seems and I went backward instead of forward.

It fired up at 2:10 as expected, so I redid the schedule with the proper clock this time around.

This thing's working great! Quick check of understanding if I might...

We'll be gone for a couple of days which is during the time that it normally runs on schedule. I don't want to risk it getting stuck and drain the battery.

I issued the following commands to clear the schedule, are they correct?

128
167,0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

Thanks!

That should work. Also the removal of the battery or even sending the master reset command "7" via the SCI. Also the schedule could be saved and just plug the PSU directly into the side of the Roomba. That would prevent the Roomba from even starting a scheduled run.

An issue with plugging into the jack on the side of the robot has happened to a few owners. A contact gets bent which then prevents the robot from connecting to the dock. Pulling the battery or clearing the schedule are better choices.

Can I add scheduling to a 630? I see the cable is no longer available in the iRobot store. We're else can you get it?

I offer a USB to TTL cable on my website that includes the driver and a terminal program on a mini DVD.
