Documentation for the iRobot Create

The following links provide access to documentation for various parts of the iRobot platform that we will use in the lab. The parts are:

1. The iRobot Create: This is the (white) platform with sensors and motors. Although it contains a microcontoller, we will not be programming that microcontroller. Instead, we will put it into a mode where it responds to commands sent to from the Command Module (see below) via a serial port.
2. The Command Module: This is the (green) box that fits in the cargo bay of the iRobot Create. It contains an Atmel microcontroller that we will program in C. It can send commands via the serial port to the iRobot Create. In addition, it provides via four sockets various analog and digital inputs and outputs that we can use.
