Since the Roomba 530S does not come with it’s programming port exposed I had to do a slight modification in order to get it ready for hacking. Equipped with a 1/2″ spade bit and some masking tape I carved out a hole for my serial tether to plug into.

Parts:

A Roomba 530/560

A 1/2″ Spade Bit

A drill or Rotary Tool

Masking Tape

Black Marker

X-Acto Knife

File or sand paper
