Mini-DIN Connector Cable for iRobot Create 2 - 7 Pins - 6 feet

Get your hands on this awesome 7 Pin Mini-DIN Connector cable! You can easily connect it to the hackport of your iRobot Create 2. Then, control your iRobot with an Arduino or your favorite 5V TTL UART microcontroller. You can even power your project using the internal battery of the Create 2. Remember, the battery voltage can reach up to about 21V. A buck converter like the one mentioned can help reduce the unregulated Vpwr from 20V to a more suitable 5V. Find more details about the cable and pin usage in the Create 2 Open Interface Specification. The iRobot Create 2 is a well - tested and durable mobile robot platform made from remanufactured Roomba robots. Instead of spending a long time building a robot and sorting out power supplies and motors, just hack the iRobot! Check the tutorials and guides on the iRobot website. Each order includes one cable, and the iRobot Create 2 is not included.

Using this cable is easy. First, find the hackport on your iRobot Create 2 and connect the 7 - pin Mini - DIN connector to it. Then, connect the other end to your Arduino or the 5V TTL UART microcontroller. You can use the internal battery of the Create 2 to power your project, but be careful as the battery voltage can be high. It's a good idea to use a buck converter to get a more stable 5V power supply. When it comes to maintenance, keep the cable away from sharp objects and excessive heat. Store it in a dry place when not in use. If you notice any damage to the cable, stop using it immediately. Also, always refer to the Create 2 Open Interface Specification for more detailed information about the cable and pin usage.
