Matt, That sounds overly complex for just the Create. Consider talking to it via Bluetooth---either the one mentioned yesterday, or the Fluke (which adds a camera, IR, and LEDs--- for just $100).
On the other hand, going with the Create + Gumstick allows one to follow the "Robotics Primer" (google that for more info). Perhaps you are adding more components to the Create? Also, Pyro currently supports the older Player interfaces... I don't thing the latest are backwards compatible. -Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "matt studley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: pyro-users@pyrorobotics.org Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 6:33:29 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Pyro-users] Re: Anyone using Roomba? We're thinking of using the iRobot Create (the non-vacuuming Roomba) with gumstix linux and integrating this with Pyro via Player. Seems like it should be fairly straightforward (!) Famous last words perhaps.
