Some other USB driver must operate inside the WiFi device. Since the Neato is echoing every character in terminal emulators it appears unusual single character USB packets are used, tacked onto an old serial port system in the Neato - older system boards had a serial header on the board which could be used, removed in later boards. I am talking about the sensors salvaged from Neato Robotics robots. If you want a snippet that works with the more recent 360 Laser Distance Sensor LDS-01, it is not here. The LIDAR has two connectors, one for the motor and one for the communication (serial port). Here is a photo of one of my specimen connected to a PC via a usb-to-serial ftdi.

Parameters
~port (strNeato Robotics Port Devices Driver
, default: /dev/ttyUSB0) Neato Robotics Port Devices Driver Update
- Name of serial port to use.
Running
Plug in your neato. Then run:
Find the neato device (ours was ID 2108:780b). Then:
You should now have a /dev/ttyUSBX like device connected. You can start the neato node by:
This loads the node and a static TF transformer for base_laser to base_link.
