iRobot Braava Jet 240: Waarom stopt mijn Braava en lijkt het alsof hij vast zit?

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 01:46:42 -0700

Mijn Braava stopt tijdens het uitvoeren van een schoonmaaksessie en gedraagt zich alsof hij vast zit, of dat de wielen vastzitten. Hij gaat dan niet verder en maakt een hoog (elektronisch) piepgeluid.

Weet iemand waar je een powersupply/voedingsprint voor een neato botvac 80 kunt krijgen zonder de hele charge base te moeten kopen? In de mijne heeft een mot kortsluiting veroorzaakt.

ECOVACS SLIM: Rechter zijborstel blijft doordraaien, ook tijdens opladen

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 23:17:26 -0700

Mijn oude, maar niet veel gebruikte Deebot Slim blijft sinds kort het rechter zijborsteltje doordraaien.
Ook wanneer deze op het laadstation staat; blijft alleen die rechter-borstel rond draaien.
De simpele reset werkt niet. De enige manier om hem te laten stoppen is om de accu leeg te laten draaien of volledig uit te zetten en hem niet op laadstation te zetten.
Wanneer ik de stofzuiger met de aan-/uitknop onderaan de machine uit zet, en hem dan op het laadstation zet; blijft dat borsteltje ook rond draaien.

irobot roomba combo: Nieuwe tandwielen aandrijving borstel

Tue, 02 May 2023 10:32:05 -0700

Ik ben op zoek naar nieuwe tandwielen voor mijn Irobot Roomba Combo, type RVF-Y1. De borstel draait nog wel, echter met enorm veel herrie. Heel het apparaat uit elkaar geknutseld om erachter te komen dat de tanden bot zijn. Deze grijpen soms in elkaar, soms rammelen ze langs elkaar. Het zijn kunststof tandwielen, heeft iemand een leuk adres waar ik nieuwe kan bestellen? Alvast bedankt! Foto's en specifieke gegevens heb ik indien nodig

Neato XV-21: De Display valt steeds uit en start niet meer vanzelf ondanks batterij

Tue, 04 May 2021 08:28:41 -0700

De Display valst steeds uit na enkele minuten. Ik heb voor de 2de maal nieuwe batterijen in gestoken. Je moet lang en dikwijls op de Start toets drukken om de display terug te laten oplichten. Eénmaal de display aan is kan je manueel de programma’s en andere zaken starten en wijzigen. Het toestel werkt nog maar niet meer automatisch omdat de display uit gaat.

Irobot Roomba 980: Impossibilité de connecter l’appli Irobot à mon wifi

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 13:11:41 -0700

Bonjour,

j’ai acheté un roomba 980 la semaine dernière et je n’arrive pas paramétrer l’application Irobot.

j’utilise un iPhone X.

L’application est bien installée, je commence mes différentes étapes, choisi le robot (type aspirateur simple), autorise l’accès au Bluetooth, active la localisation , autorise l’accès au réseau local puis le renommé. Et après c’est le bug. L’appli demande de se connecter à notre wifi puis de revenir sur l’appli, ce que je fais, et lorsque je reviens j’ai un message d’erreur : « votre téléphone e n’est pas connecté à un réseau wifi. Accédez aux paramètres du téléphone et connectez vous à un réseau Wifi ».

j’ai essayé de me mettre en mode avion et de n’avoir accès que au wifi, j’ai essayé de désactiver l’accès aux données cellulaires pour forcer l’appli à trouver le wifi mais rien ne fonctionne et je tombe à chaque fois sur ce message d’erreur…

si quelqu’un a une idée je suis preneuse. J’ai tel le SAV roomba qui ne savait pas.

Je précise que je n’ai aucun pb avec mon réseau wifi.

merci par avance !! ???

Neato Botvac D75: Error 3000 - Neato does not start moving

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 06:29:45 -0700

My Neato D85 has been working well. About 10 days ago, I changed its battery. It was working well until now. It gets ready to start but then stops and give me the message “press OK to continue (3000)”. I press OK and it tries to get ready but again stops and sends the same message.

What did I do? I cleaned its laser area with a cotton tip and pressured air too. Nothing. The disk moves though.

Any suggestions on what could happen but mainly how to fix it?

Thanks!

Samsung NaviBot SR8855: circuit diagram or schematic for accu loading

Sat, 22 Jul 2017 10:15:46 -0700

The Bot Device cannot load his accu.

It does not recognized the contacts of the docking station. It still search and find the docking station well, but search endless the loading contacts.

I'm still good in electronics but do not have any schematics and don't kow any about the firmware/programms of a lot of microcontroller build in.

iRobot Roomba 650: Resistance in right wheel/"error 5"

Sat, 07 Jun 2025 10:19:39 -0700

I've been getting the "Error 5 right" message on my Roomba 650. The right wheel seems to have twice the resistance of the left wheel. I took out the wheel module, opened it up and cleaned everything out. The problem persisted so I ordered a new wheel module. Still no luck. Then I noticed something very odd: the wheel has normal resistance when it's out of the Roomba but as soon as I lower it into place the resistance immediately doubles. Even with the battery removed this happens. I've very meticulously cleaned out the wheel well and it makes no difference. I've also cleaned the optical sensors and tried doing the Spot/Dock reset. Nothing. Any ideas??

Samsung POWERbot R7070: PowerBot R7040 Runs with disengaged powerbrush

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 17:23:15 -0700

my powerbot recently started to show this glitch where it actually runs pretending like it is cleaning but without actually vacuuming anything.(no powerbrush running) If i hit pause and then start again it starts and runs as expected. I’m not sure how often does this happen since it cleans mostly when I’m not home. I was only able to catch this on weekend.

Samsung Jet Bot VR30T80313W: Battery won't charge.

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:41:37 -0700

So I just got my robot vacuum back after lending it to my brother.

Turned out it stopped working a while ago.

When I got it back I started to diagnose it.

The first thing I noticed was, when it's docked in the charginstation, it turns on and I can adopt it into the smart things app. The battery read 0% and no matter how long it charges it wouldn't go up.

So I started by disassembling the battery down to its individual cells. Turned out 5 out if 6 cells were completely dead (absolute 0 volts).

So I ordered some new cells and put the battery back together. The battery now shows 21,7 volts. But it still doesn't want to run outside the chargingstation.

When I use a multimeter on the battery, while it's connected to the chargingstation it shows about 25 volts on d+ to d- (the plugs from the vacuum to the PCB on the battery). And still 21,7 volts on b+ to b- (the spot welded tin to the battery). It has now charged for about 2 hours and it's still about 37% charged (so not getting charged).

I've tried to put the PCB under an thermal camera to see if anything gets hot, but it doesn't. Even with it plugged into the chargingstation, without the chargingstation or it disconnected from the robot. I've also tried to connect 21 volts 1 a with a powersupply connected both on d+ to d- and on b+ to b-, yet nothing gets hot.

Anyone have any idea on how I could fix this?

I'm pretty new to this stuff, but I do watch some youtubers like NorthridgeFix and TronicFix so I have some general idea.

Should I disconnect the cells again and maybe try injecting voltage over some of the chips on the PCB or check the resistance on some of the caps? If so i would love some guidence. I don't have a chip programmer yet, but I will order one sooner or later, if needed.

I'm also working on a guide on the disassembly of the batter here (ask and ill add you in order to view):
