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.
