- NEATO ROBOTICS TERMINAL EMULATOR MAC SERIAL
- NEATO ROBOTICS TERMINAL EMULATOR MAC UPDATE
- NEATO ROBOTICS TERMINAL EMULATOR MAC DRIVER
I've tried changing some of the serial settings (flow control, bit setting, parity), it doesn't matter. (not to be confused with me even knowing what that is) When doing serial stuff there was always an array of adjustements a person could make to flow, speed, handshake, and I/o stream, like 7-1 and ? simple serial was never so simple, and they let us mess up all kinds of parameters that could cause a problem like that. When emulating this com port, can you adjust any flow control items? so far (as you probably know) your getting what sounds like one way communications with no acknowlegement of reciept. Sorry, apparently too early in the morning for me.
NEATO ROBOTICS TERMINAL EMULATOR MAC DRIVER
The driver is directly based on Windows's usbser.sys. And it works under OSX Lion so I assume the hardware is all fine. The robot has a mini-usb port, I'm not using a serial adapter. Somehow the USB -> Serial emulation under Windows seems broken with my hardware? Is this a known Windows problem (on Apple hw)? Switching Windows from COM1 to COM3 doesn't work neither (they probably enumerate the usb devices, so that they don't have to scan all COM ports).
NEATO ROBOTICS TERMINAL EMULATOR MAC UPDATE
Unfortunately the firmware update tool first looks for a USB device called Neato XV-11 that is simulated under COM3. I managed to communicate with the device on COM1 through this solution. It basically opens a read/write stream from /dev/bmodem662 to the VMWare's COM1 port. You can do this with a unix program called socat. In my desperate attempts to fix this I've tried to connect the device from within OSX via a pipe to VMWare. Update - FrankenSerial workaround attempt: I've contacted their customer support, but I'm still waiting for a technical response. I've tried XP SP3(x86) and Windows 7 (圆4) with Bootcamp, Parallels and VMware Fusion. A bit as if it was buffered (I can only see this because of the serial logger). When I then disconnect the session, unplug the USB and plug it back in, I notice that the device suddenly reacts to all my previous commands. If tried the same under OSX (with terminal and the screen command, /dev/bmodem662, same settings as in Windows) and everything works fine (I get the list of supported robot commands)!Īfter debugging with a serial communication monitor under Windows I saw that the connection is still open after the "h", but the device isn't sending anything after that. I want to type "help" which would list the robots commands, but only the "h" is echo-ed back to me. I've tried it myself with Putty and Hyperterminal to setup a test serial connection (115200 baud). This doesn't work because under Windows any serial connection with the device stalls after the first character that is send. The update application will setup a serial connection to the robot, which is emulated under COM3 in my case. To do the upgrade you need a mini usb cable and plug it into your robot. However I have a 2008 Macbook Pro, so I decided to use BootCamp. Now there seems to be a firmware upgrade for the device that I have to do under Windows.

As a fan of gadgets sometimes I get carried away and this time I bought a Neato XV-11 vacuum bot (which by the way works pretty good).
