Hi,

found the solution

1. Add "blacklist cdc_acm" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. add user to dialout group: "sudo adduser $USER dialout"
3. add "usbserial vendor=0x2108 product=0x780B" to "/etc/modules"
4. reboot your system
5. connect your neato to your PC
6. Check if the neato appears as /dev/ttyUSB0 in dmesg (if not ...)
7. Compile neat_driver as explained here: https://github.com/mikeferguson/neato_robot
8. enable the environment: source <ws>/devel/setup.bash
9. start the launch file "roslaunch neato_node bringup.launch"

If you get an "IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument":

1. Edit "/catkin_ws/src/neato_robot/neato_driver/src/neato_driver/neato_driver.py"
2. In line 118 change self.port = serial.Serial(port, 115200) to self.port = serial.Serial(port, 115200, rtscts=True, dsrdtr=True)
3. delete the build and devel folder
4. recompile the neato drive
5. start again "roslaunch neato_node bringup.launch"
