5 months ago I got the same thoughts. Yes I also guess the serial and bluetooth is very similar, and I also would have preferred direct connection to the serial port (right above the GSM port on the RC series).
But no unfortunately I don’t have the source code (hence I made the ugly substitution script on the binary file).
It was @thecutter who claimed he got it: https://github.com/TheCutter/RoboMow2MQTT/discussions/3
But please let me know what you find out, direct serial connection would be a killer 💪
I'm looking to have a go at connecting an Robomow trough wifi.
This seems quite ok, but i'm more of direct connection approach. I'm going to interface directly with the RS232/service port of the RS mower. This should eventually result in just a plug and play solution on the service terminal port.
From my initial search it looks like the serial protocol of the service port and bleutooth port are equal. The robotool service tool kind of confirms this, as you can choose between direct serial connection or ble.
I've read on the other topic that you had the source code of the mahspindel? Would it be possible to post or send the defines fo the serial protocol? Or get any other info of this ?
If what i'm thinking is going to work, it should be quite easy implementation with just a serial interface to the robowmow
