A shame about Upload #1

Open alhom opened 4 years ago

Hello,

I got a bit excited seeing the Upload commands in the programming guide, including the options for sound modules*! It's a shame that command is not well documented and/or nonfunctional. Do you have any leads on whether or not the command could somehow be worked with?

* I named my Neato 'Mo', and I would like for it to sound the "foreign contaminant" line from WALL-E when starting a cleaning run, so, you know, this is important ;)

OMG that's brilliant! I hate you, now I eager to have that as well. 😆

Sadly all I have ever really been able to find is what everyone else knows with the old XV model line PDF that was put out years ago.

Which itself was pretty lousy to begin with and lacks a ton of information.

Probably only two ways about this..

1) Someone spends a bit of $$ and time to reverse engineer the hardware/software.

2) Neato ( or i guess Vorwerk ) open sources the deeper parts of their older tech, which I highly doubt will ever happen.
