a modular arduino library that breathes new life into legacy irobot roombas — full open interface support, with wifi web control and ble. my most-starred project, and [covered by hackster.io](https://www.hackster.io/news/preetham-kyanam-s-arduroomba-library-puts-your-irobot-roomba-under-arduino-uno-control-147bfae136c6).

## what it does

arduroomba gives you a clean c++ api for driving roombas that speak the create 2 open interface spec. it handles serial communication, command encoding, and sensor parsing so you can focus on the robotics on top.

## highlights

* full open interface support — motors, sensors, and navigation
* wifi web control and ble, across arduino uno r4, esp32, and esp8266
* published to the arduino library manager and platformio
* press coverage from hackster.io
