C’est très clair,merci.

pourtant j’aimerai savoir s’il n’y qu’un seul capteur infra rouge.

Je précise : le roomba “voit” très bien sa station de recharge mais pas les murs virtuels (ces derniers fonctionnent car je les ai testé sur un autre roomba) ?

si vous avez une solution…..:-)

Brendan - Feb 24, 2020

Certains murs virtuels (tels que ceux du scooba ou d’anciens models de roomba) ne sont pas compatibles de base avec le roomba 560.

Il existe toutefois deux solutions pour les rendre compatible avec le roomba :

1. Acheter un OSMO contenant la dernière version sur firmware pour votre Roomba 560 sur internet.

2. Demander un OSMO contenant la dernière version du firmware au support iRobot.

Les OSMO sont de petit appareil qui se branches sur la prise diagnostic / debugage des Roomba et qui permettent d’en mettre à jour le firmware.
