Description

Roomba Spot

The Roomba Spot block starts the built-in iRobot Spot Cover demo. In this demo, Roomba covers an area around its starting position by spiraling outward, then inward.

This command is available in Passive, Safe, or Full operating mode of Roomba (see Roomba Modes block). Execution of this command changes current Roomba operating mode to Passive.

Important Notes

Note Use System Timebase block in Normal simulation.

Input Ports

rmb

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

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.

Operating mode

The options for operating modes are: Stop and Start. Select Start and Stop options to start and stop the demo, respectively. By default, the Stop option is selected.

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.
