Hello guys.

I couldnt see any topic about this subject, so I wanted to tell my experience.
I have manged to controll my Roomba 583 with EG with USB uirt. I found a text file
on a other forum with some IR codes. I copy and pasted them directly into USBuit
plugin on EG. Here is the codes:

To make roomba clean, you need to send this clean signal 3 times. And my best result has been sending first 3 pause signals and then 3
clean signals.
It seems like sometimes the roomba are in some kind of state that only clean signal is not good enough.

PS: you IR sender must be close to Roomba.

Here is one example:



I hope this is helpfull for someone!

That's very neat! It makes me wish my residence was small enough to make use of a Roomba now!
