All, How about a Create compatible remote that can turn on the Create, emulate all the buttons on the Create and be able to run programs in the Command Module. Feel free to add your own particulars. RoombaDude
Actually, in regards to that, what I would prefer to see would be integration of the Create's OI with the Player/Stage simulator project. I use this with my Roomba to test out new code that I'm writing before actually uploading it to the 'bot. Simulating your mistakes(and successes) is always cheaper in software than hardware

After several months now with Create, my biggest complaint so far is that the Command Module needs more SRAM. iRobot picked a great MCU. Lots of on-chip resources, FLASH, EEPROM, 3 timers, ADC, TTL I/O, UART, 18MIPS (I really like that by the way). But....only 1024 bytes of SRAM? That's like a Corvette with all the fancy leather, GPS nav, big engine, but a 1 gallon gas tank!?!? On your next gen CM, add some SRAM. I would have paid twice as much for the CM if it only had like 16K SRAM. That's not to say that 64K wouldn't be 4 times as nice, but you get the idea.

I did write a "soft" UART for the Create command module. It can receive and transmit from 2400-19200 baud on any of three ePorts. I suppose I could make it support higher rates (like 57.6K) but there's a throughput penalty on the receive side that may make that not worth while. On the other hand, most devices support 9600 baud, so the soft UART makes a reasonable substitute.

The code was in the projects area as cm9600 3.2. I;m currently Beta testing 4.0 which allows up to 3 ports open at different rates. If you only need a single port, I'll re-post 3.2 in the projects area.

cm9600 3.2 has been re-posted in the same thread in the projects area.
