making your own roomba “virtual wall” units

roomba virtual walls

the roomba virtual walls are what, in theory, will keep in the roomba away from places it shouldn’t go, like the fireplace. while roombas usually come with 2 units, wouldn’t it be better (and cheaper) to make your own? and maybe embed them in the wall?

    I’m fascinated and intrigued, but for the lazier or less curious, you can get extra virtual walls pretty cheaply on eBay. Search for “virtual wall.”

    I would think if you are at a hack site it should be because you are not lazy and you are curious.

    in theory you could pick up the signal with a camera and duplicate it. I am not sure if its a pattern or what. unfortunately i keep losing the bloody things which is why i am in search of this as well. Buy a roomba virtual wall unit and feed him for a day, and so forth.
