Roomba Personalities with myRoomBud Is Alive Dashboard
The myRoomBud’s dad and advisor, Greg Smith, used his programming expertise to add
Roomba personalities to go along with a RoomBud costume. The myRoomBud Is Alive
Dashboard (MiAD), shown in Figure 16-8, is a free program you can download that gives
you a point-and-click way to control your Roomba. Besides providing the standard movement
capabilities you’re familiar with for a computer-controlled Roomba, MiAD has a set of buttons
that will trigger the various personalities, like roar like a tiger or hop like a frog.
