這次在開放科技高峰會[1]的時候, 元智的學生展示了一個有趣的計畫 : 用 Wii 遙控器來控制 Roomba 掃地機器人. 他們是使用一個 PXA255 的開發板 (ARCOM VIPER[2]), 而該開發版則是透過 bluetooth 接收來自 Wii 遙控器的訊號, 使用 libiiwmote 來開發程式,

開發板與 Roomba 的近照

手上的遙控器就是 Wii remote

I really want to buy the PC board to hack the Roomba :p
But the other idea is to buy a more expensive PDA or MID to connect the Roomba. ( Although Thinker Li reminds me that the PDA lack the GPIO function ) But as an amateur linux nerd, If I can buy an Android phone and connect it to Roomba, maybe I can use the browser to see how my Roomba to clean my house, and then ask the Android phone to take a picture at the same time, and then send me a message when Roomba finished the duty, and then ...., and then ... ...
I know they're all thinking I'm so white and nerdy[4]
我好想買個開發版來 hack Roomba 呀 :p
不過另一個想法是買個貴一點的 PDA or MID 接上 Roomba. ( 雖然 Thinker 曾提醒我 PDA 缺乏 GPIO 的功能 ) 不過身為一個業餘的 linux 宅男, 真的很希望能夠買到 Android phone 然後接到 Roomba, 然後用瀏覽器看看我的 Roomba 打掃的狀況, 然後順便還可以拍一張像, 然後傳簡訊告訴我 Rooma 完成掃地工作, 然後 ...., 然後 ....
我知道他們都覺得我又白又宅 [4] :p
