I am working on 560 roomba, gives me the move to a new location message. I did tests and found the cliff sensors are not on. So I’d like
the voltage needed to run the cliff sensors, I’ve read they are all in series.
It would be great If I knew the voltages needed on that connector that
supplies the bumpers and cliff sensors. I have read that there is a pulsed
5v line, but I have only one volt, maybe I have the wrong ground point.
Without the schematic, it is pretty hard to help you.
Keep in mind that the Roomba cliff sensors are IR sensors.
It can be pulse but note that it will need a descent voltage to power up the IR led.
Maybe this guide can help: https://electronicsforu.com/resources/learn-electronics/ir-led-infrared-sensor-basics
