Mini is WAY easier.
Add a spot where you can send custom commands like the play a certain demo i think it is {136} 9
Like a text box thing.
Just some thoughts.
Hi Jack,
The control file is _intended_ to be for the irobot too.
However, I never got this done.
Are you familiar with C code and using make?
If so,
The source code is the SVN tree linked from:

Hello.
controld should have been added to the crontab for root. If you sudo crontab -l, you will see the entry.
Oh no, I see the bug! I will fix the distribution now. The wrong entry is:
* * * * * php /Sparky/shell_check_sparky_irobot.php &> /tm...
Do you know how the commands are being processed and sent to the robot? I know controld seems to the be controller daemon that is sending the command. I found the make controller file to create my own servo commands, but that does not seem to be f...
also, start a new forum topic for your project with lots of details and a juicy title and I will feature it on the site.
The code is here:
http://code.google.com/p/sparkyrobotcontroller/downloads/list
probably needs updating anyway...
The thumbstick control does need some work. The logic for reverse still doesn't match forward. Ultimately I would like it to drive l...
Hey, that sounds great. You are the first official Sparky not made by us. (Congrats!) Let's see some pics or video!!
And thanks for the notes. Many people want to see Sparky's edge sensors working like the bumpers do, Also folks want auto-recharg...

WOOOHOOO!!!
I was able to get the robot to finally move!!!! It turns out there are wholes in the documentation not just bugs in the code.
The first major problem (if I missed it in the directions let me know) the controld app is not being auto l...
I just had a look at the bit of code, and I see where the bug was. LOL...
Looks like you forgot to put the /dev/cu/KeySerial1 in the PHP control file. i did not even think to look at the root of my drive for any Sparky folders. :) Or I might have...
This is exactly what I was looking for!!!!!!!
I will give this as try tonight and let you know. I had a feeling this was the issue...
Thanks again for taking the time to look into this.
Ill let you know how it goes.

Hello Jack,
I sincerely apologize that it has take me sometime to get on this. School can be so time consuming!
I think I understand the situation:
You are using a serial-to-USB device that is not the Keyspan model.
This should be okay, here is...
Is there a forum he does check?
Ok...
Well I am still confused why with a keyspan adapter its still not working. Can you tell me what TTY ports your machine is using to talk to the irobot? I feel this is still the issue. When I watch the keyspan port, i am not seeing any commun...
I contacted the software dev. when you first asked, but he's in grad school at Stanford so he can't respond to your questions as quickly as I can.
Ok I am now officially turned off by this project.
I have a keyspan usb to serial adapter, installed it and followed all the directions on this site.
is there somewhere to get help? Maybe a community where the developers hang out? I really wnat ...
