ROOMBA BLACK BOX

Every Roomba has a black box that is an onboard data logging processor. This processor is not erased
when the robot is reset. This data may be valuable if one wants to know the total cleaning time in the
robot's life (mission runtime) or how long it has been charging on the Home base (total-hours-on-
dock)
To access the black box Information you will need the serial port cable between the robot and
computer and the software called "R3blackboxreader.exe"
1. Connect the serial port cable to Com 1. If battery is low, have the power supply connected to
Roomba.
2. Run the "R3blackboxreader.exe"
3. Select "Black Box" tab and press "Check"
4. Press Copy
5. Open a separate Excel sheet and paste the data.
