Hold down the power button for about 10 seconds. Count the dits and dahs it is base 5 just like the test numbers. Each short beep is 1 & each long beep counts as 5. Its in the format year month day. A #4210 with a mfg-date of 041014 and got.

Meaning 040921 A #4100 with a mfg-date of 041023 produced the same. Meaning 040921 again. Upgraded the 4100 with a mfg on 050929 and got. Meaning 050421. So when was yours born? What upgrades have you applied? And what firmaware do you have?

Isn't there a simpler way to find out what firmware is on your robot, say with the serial number or something? My roomba is a sage with convenience pack that I bought from.

Here are the registration details of my robot. It says Roomba Club Pack, but it is a Sage with Convenience Pack (4110). Is there a way to find out from this if there is a new firmware for it or not? If not please someone explain it to me again in dummy-talk how to do the tests Thanks Moderator Edit: Removed the unique portion of serial number for users protection.

Hello Atheen, There is no easy way to get the firmware version, besides this procedure, unless you connect to the Roomba to capture it's information (more on how to do it this way can be found in the 'hacking' area of the forum).

From your serial number we can tell that your robot was created on OCT. 6, 2006 (you can get the how to in the FAQ). This number does not tell you the firmware date and even if you knew it there is not much you could have done to 'upgrade/update it' short of upgrading it via the scheduler option or from an OSMO provided by iRobot. There is a strong suggestion that the next gen of Roomba will have a way to update it's firmware or parts of it via the internet. Hope this helps.

Meaning 040921 Upgraded the 4100 with a mfg on 050929 and got. Meaning 050421. Meaning 040921 Assuming you've been able to to hear the beeps OK, then taking the examples above: First. = 1+1+1+1 = 4. = 5+1+1+1+1 =9 -. = 5+5+5+5 =21 ie 21 Sept 04 Second.

= 1+1+1+1 = 4 -. = 5+5+5+5+1 = 21 ie 21 Apr 05 I hope that this makes sense, it took me a few reads and listens to puzzle out what mine was saying!

If you have a you can use the cable to update the firmware to v2.1 and add ROI (roomba open interface) which is what you need for the RooStick.

Just post on that thread to request the cable and I will PM you the deposit information and get it right out to you. I curently have one cable available for use. You could also save a few pennies by ordering something from our store that you might need and then the cable can hitch a ride!

Got one for you. I borrowed Chris' cable and did an upgrade for my Discovery via the and when I tested the firmware I got the 050421 code like you showed. I also was lucky enough for iRobot to send me a brand new blue OSMO.

So, since I am a School of Hard Knocks alum, and since Vic posted, I decided to plug it in anyways. Surprise, surprise the status light started blinking and continued like that for at least 30 seconds then Skutters went back to normal. Now when I do this test I get LOW/LOW LOW/HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH. I take this to mean 051004 which would in theory be October 10th 2005. OSPANNERo wrote:I also just tried this on a newly replaced caster Discovery for comparison. It has a new trick! It goes LOW HIGH/LOW HIGH HIGH HIGH/LOW LOW LOW then some music.

So I would assume 060715 translated to July 15th 2006. My Discovery 4220 does the same thing, but isn't that 06/08/15, or August (not July) 15th, 2006? BTW, I also have a Sage 4110 that went wacky back in December. At the time, customer service sent me an OSMO which I used to update the firmware. It now reports a date of October 4, 2005 - I have no idea what it was before. Posts: 3 Joined: September 28th, 2007, 2:31 am.

Long story short, I called up iRobot support and mentioned that I had ordered a new battery and was considering purchasing one of the new Auto Walls. But, in my research, I had read that I might need a firmware upgrade to change how the my 580 charged and for the 580 to work with the Auto Walls. About 2 minutes later the CSR was taking my shipping information and sending me out an OSMO. Figured this might be interesting info for some and old news for other but I still wanted to share my experience.

So, here is what I based my line of questions on: If you look at the row for the 'Compact Auto Virtual Wall' it specifically states 'All Models are compatible but the following will need a software upgrade: Models 510, 525, 530, 532, 534, 535, 540, 550, 560, 562, 570, 580, 610, and 625.' This implies to me that they are adding the necessary IR commands to those robots since the 510/525/530/532 don't have the Zigbee transceiver. But maybe I am wrong about what 'software upgrade' iRobot is mentioning I would need for my 580 but I can't think of any other options on how that would be applied. I also confirmed this with the CSR but I always take Level 1 reps with a grain of salt.

Let me know if I am mis-reading something. Poconogal wrote:I'm wondering why the OP wants to have a 580 work with AW, when the 580 supports LHs, and the LHs can be set to VW? Is there some benefit, do the AWs save on battery use over a LH set to VW? Because I am an alumnus of the School of Hard Knocks and because I like to fix things that aren't broken. But in all seriousness, I just want to try them out and have the option to use them in the future if I decide to.

Or in simpler terms, to quote George Mallory when asked 'Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?' 'Because it's there'.

Interestingly enough I went to go reference this article again today but. Oooops, all gone! So now the only reference info I can find on the AVW says 'Only compatible with Robot SKUs 51102, 53101, 53301, 53601, 54102, 55101, 55102, 56101, 56301 and 56502.'
