I've had no success getting the roomba to respond to anything over the serial port. I've tried:
 
* FTDI cable
* arduino serial outputs (with signals from the arduino and without)
* uusb mb5 adaptor (usb->serial 5v device)
 
I've also tried both SCI and OI protocols with all of the above. Thats using Roombaconn, python roomba libraries and arduino roomba libraries.
The best I can get out of it is a continuous reboot loop - [[User:fridgehead|tomw]]
