He’s pimping his book a bit, but Tod sent in his hack for controlling his bluetooth roomba with a bluetooth phone. He released the bluetooth interface hack Now he”s whipped up a phone application that lets him fully control the roomba via bluetooth.
Pretty cool. i just wish my motorola a630 had more than just basic bluetooth services…
now it needs an arm to fetch a beer.
interesting hack… makes me wonder – does anyone use the roomba to vacuum anymore? If I had one – I sure wouldn’t :P I’d probably put some big wheels on it just for the novelty of being able to vacuum the front lawn…
Next up: Chicken ipod mouse tire!
