iRobot Create Owner’s Guide

Create is a complete robot development kit that
allows you to program new robot behaviors without having
to worry about mechanical assembly and low-level code.
iRobot Create’s Open Interface (OI) provides you with a set
of commands, such as “drive” commands, demo commands,
song commands and sensor commands, that encourage your
own inventiveness. With iRobot Create, you can develop new
behaviors and add third party electronics, all without having to
worry about mechanical robustness or low-level control.
When you first begin working with iRobot Create you may find its
ten built in demos useful as inspirations for your own ideas.
As you become more comfortable with its abilities and interface
you will want to write your own Open Interface-based programs
to control iRobot Create using a serial connection from a PC or
microprocessor such as the iRobot Command Module.
You can attach and control other hardware and electronic
devices to iRobot Create; such as a robotic arm, light
display, or a ranging sensor. It can also become a musical
instrument! By using the Song command you can write and
save up to 16 songs in iRobot Create. For more information on
iRobot Create’s OI commands, including demos and songs,
