Comment on Got my robot vacuum running Valetudo the other night...

Still sounds easier than getting my roborock on valetudo. I had to take the entire thing apart to get to the other side of the mobo to flash the thing. Felt like I needed 3 hands to ground one place while doing a bunch of other things just to get it to flash. My workspace was a mess of screws and tiny robot parts I only half remembered taking out.

In the end it worked and I’m very happy with it. Was sweating for a bit though. It was a $400 vaccum iirc.

Worth it IMO. These things get hella filthy inside. I took mine apart to replace its motherboard, and I’m glad I did because it needed a good cleaning.

  LOL Reminds me of when my Jack Russel was a pup, training him to poop outside. Well, one day early in his training, he decided to poop under the dinning room table and I didn’t see it. Turned the vaccum loose, and sure enough, it found the poop, smeared it all over the floors and made a complete mess of the guts. I spent the day with a toothbrush and some cleaner. So, yeah…can confirm they do get filthy.

    The previous owner of mine was absolutely a pet owner. It was chock full of fur. Luckily nobody in my house has any pet allergies…

Of you ever feel like you can’t find the right screws or it just doesn’t hold back together well, just Goop the bastard back together.

So much stuff in my life is now Gooped together - I even Gooped some drives into a desktop that lacked enough mount points.

That stuff is magic in a tube.
