I assumed you were going to build a board that would replace the Roomba's electronics. Oh heavens no! In fact, this board would be little more than a breakout board for some 3.3v/5v buffers running between the Pi UART and the Roomba. But it would be a quick and easy way to get started without havin...

So I don't think you'll sell many, unless you also create a set of instructions for an accompanying robot that will work with it. (I would guess the roomba motor/gearbox/encoder assemblies are uncommon and pricey.) Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? My plan was to make an adapter board tha...
