Communication Problems with Telemba and Google Hangouts #10

Open jngeo opened 9 years ago

jngeo commented 9 years ago

To whom it may concern,

I recently tried to use Telemba with my Nexus 7 (via Google Hangouts). After following all instructions from the wiki page, it seems that I can see the battery status of Android and Roomba on the telemba app on Hangout Event. But I cannot seem to control Roomba (not moving) and the connection status is always "Connecting".

I attached here some images of the my device status and environment.

Also, when I connect the DIN pin from the Board to Roomba (model 500), the Roomba "POWER" yellow light is turned off but the board LED is turned on. Is this a normal occurence ?

Without connecting to the board, Romba is working fine independently on its own. My Nexus 7 has Android version 4.4.3 and I downloaded the latest TelembaController App.

I hope that you could give me some advice on how to troubleshoot this problem. Thank you for your time and help. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

I see, please try the Request button before you command roomba. It is new feature we are testing to prevent conflict of multiple ownership. The one who push the button can get the control right for a minuite. I'm afraid it is not documented yet, sorry.
