Problem is now solved.The problem was the PL2303 based USB to Serial converter output was not TTL/CMOS compatible so I have now used MAX232 to convert voltage levels to TTL/CMOS levels.Roomba is now working with ROS.

I have a mini din connector (8 pin). Have used pin nos 1,3,5 and 7 with 1& 7 for Battery access.Roomba 531 which I am using dont have gyro.I have a pl2303 based usb to serial converter and then I have used MX232 for level conversions.

You can check my videos at;

1) Only Roomba being controlled : https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwez46vh1bwueo3/Turtlebot1-video-1.AVI

2) Completely assembled turtlebot roomba : https://www.dropbox.com/s/vvfgl8x2ihh5m6m/Turtlebot2.3gp
