iRobot Create2

[phreed]

The current version of the 'create' robot has some basic changes.
The following change seems to make it nominally functional.
https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot_create/blob/indigo/create_node/src/create_node/robot_types.py

ROBOT_TYPES = {
'create': RobotType('create', 57600, create_sensor_handler.CreateSensorHandler,
wheel_separation=0.26),
'create2': RobotType('create', 115200, create_sensor_handler.CreateSensorHandler,
wheel_separation=0.26),
'roomba': RobotType('roomba', 115200, roomba_sensor_handler.RoombaSensorHandler,
wheel_separation=0.235),
}
There are also a number of new commands.
see http://www.irobot.com/~/media/MainSite/PDFs/About/STEM/Create/create_2_Open_Interface_Spec.pdf
I may be able to work on adding the new functionality in a branch if that would help.

I was going to work on getting some drivers written but have fallen behind with other work going on. If you're interested in getting the drivers for the create2 going let me know and I could be interested in helping.

What is the status of driver support for the Create 2?

For those interested in Create 2 support, checkout create_autonomy.

Did this ever get resolved? Somehow or another my create 2 was working fine with a few baud tweaks if I recall.

I'm not sure regarding actual turtlebot support, but I've used create_autonomy and that's worked plenty fine for me, though I'm not using the turtlebot stack.
