RE: [mh] USB-UIRT and Linux - no go

Hi David, thanks for responding.

I used the email that you sent out just before Christmas with the Roomba
codes.  Here's the result of me importing the MAX code and then sending it.
I have added "\n" to show where the carriage returns appeared in the output.

I got no response from my Roomba and even now, 15 minutes later, the red LED
on the front of the unit is still on.

Here's the 'strings' output of /home/mh/data/usb_uirt_codes.dbm:

<QUOTE>

The "POWER" string is associated from a TV device that I've also been unable
to get working.  If I recall, the string was captured using Girder some time
ago.  Interestingly we can see "ROOMBA" (the device name) but not "MAX" (the
button name) for the Roomba and "POWER" (the button name) but not "TV" (the
device name) for the television.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  

Regards,
Chris
