Description

Roomba LED

The Roomba LED block controls the LEDs on Roomba. It takes three inputs. The first input specifies the following bit pattern to control the states (on/off) of Play and Advance LEDs:

Bit

LED

7

-

6

-

5

-

4

-

3

Advance

2

-

1

Play

0

-

Advance and Play buttons use green LEDs. Power button uses a bicolor (red/green) LED. The intensity and color of Power LED are controlled by the second and third inputs. Input 2 varies from 0 to 255, where 0 and 255 specify green and red color, respectively. Intermediate values are intermediate colors (orange, yellow, etc). Input 3 varies from 0 to 255, where 0 and 255 specify off and full intensity, respectively. Intermediate values are intermediate intensities.

This command is available in Safe, or Full operating mode of Roomba (see Roomba Modes block). Execution of this command does not change current Roomba operating mode.

Important Notes

Note Use System Timebase block in Normal simulation.

Input Ports

rmb

A reference to the Roomba stream (see Roomba Initialize block).

bits

8-bit unsigned value (0 to 10) that controls the on/off states of Advance and Play LEDs.

color

8-bit unsigned value (0 to 255) that controls the color of Power LED.

intensity

8-bit unsigned value (0 to 255) that controls the intensity of Power LED.

Output Ports

rmb

A reference to the Roomba stream, which is the same as input Roomba stream reference. It helps creating a daisy chain of Roomba blocks.

err

This signal returns a negative value in case of memory allocation error or data communication error through Roomba serial port.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Roomba LED

Sample time

The sample time of the block. A sample time of 0 indicates that the block will be treated as a continuous time block. A positive sample time indicates that the block is a discrete time block with the given sample time. A sample time of -1 indicates that the block inherits its sample time.
