Has anyone had a go with installing Valetudo (https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo) on a robo vacuum?

 

It requires* a custom PCB, I am guessing it's a long shot that someone local might have one I could borrow?

 

If not, and I end up building one, would there be any interest in this? It's only required for initial setup so good for sharing.

 

On that note - anyone had experience with PCB manufacture from NZ, any recommended suppliers?

 

 

 

Cheers, ara

 

 

 

*not strictly required but lower risk

I made some Dreame PCB's and successfully installed valetudo my Vacuum-Mop 2 Ultra. It wasn't overly difficult. I ordered the PCB's from PCBway and all the parts to populate it from Aliexpress, took a few weeks to arrive but worked out in the end.

 

Has only done a few cleaning passes so far, and i haven't yet configured all the map but its very nice not to have to worry about Xiaomi changing their login so home assistant stops working ever again!

 

I have two spare (pending testing) that I'd be happy to send to someone on the presumption they will either send it back or pass it on to the next person who wants to de-cloud their robot.
