Using the iRobot Create 2 is easy. First, take it out of the box. You don't need to assemble anything. Plug in the Home Base and place the robot on it to charge. It takes about three hours to fully charge. Once charged, you can start programming. You can use the serial cable to connect it to a computer or microcontroller and send commands. If you want to add extra features, you can attach external sensors and actuators. Just be careful when using the drill template on the faceplate. Only drill in the marked safe areas. Also, make sure to use accessories that are compatible with the Roomba 600 Series. To keep your robot in good shape, clean the sensors regularly and store it in a dry place when not in use.
