Up and Running

After several downloads and more than a few pages of manuals, the Roomba Create has successfully run a simple program and been connected to a computer!

Courtesy of the Create manuals page, we were able to download tools which allow us to write basic programs in C, compile them, and then transfer this compiled code over to the Roomba.

So far, deciphering the example code has proven to be tricky, but soon enough of it will be understood to create a sample program. The goals of this sample program will be testing the Roomba's mobility and sensor outputs.
