Under what conditions can I request the pose? #69

Hi,

This is a fairly specific question, but I'm wondering if you--or anyone else--has monitored the pose during different conditions? Specifically, I know the 9xx Roomba's can be controlled by the old IR remote control, so I'm curious to know whether the pose is calculated when the Roomba is under RC control.

I don't have a 9xx in front of me right now for testing, but I plan on investigating once I get one. I'll be sure to report back if no one knows the answer.

Thanks!

hey @ps00001, I don'y have the old IR remote control to test it. But the pose is reporting all the time, cleaning, going to home, spot cleaning, etc. It seems to be the "next position" where the robot is trying to go there. Did you test the old IR yet?

Hi! I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I'll update you as soon as I do. I read that the 9xx series Roomba's don't do any mapping/localization when they're under IR or serial control. I'll have to test that to confirm.
