FTDI USB TTL Serial Cable for iRobot Roomba

This cable provides a direct FTDI USB-to-TTL serial link with a Mini-DIN connector designed for iRobot Roomba robots. It enables a computer to communicate with the robot's serial interface for diagnostics, firmware updates or custom software development. The FTDI chipset ensures reliable driver support across common operating systems.

Mini-DIN connector limits use to compatible Roomba

The fixed Mini-DIN plug fits only Roomba units that expose a matching serial port, so it cannot connect to robots using other interfaces or to general-purpose TTL headers. Users needing bare-wire leads, different pinouts or a standard DB9 connector will require a different cable assembly.

Questions about this item

Will this cable connect my Roomba's Mini-DIN port to a modern laptop that only has USB-C?

The cable uses a standard USB-A plug, so a USB-A to USB-C adapter is required for USB-C only laptops; the FTDI chip will enumerate as a virtual COM port on Windows, macOS and Linux without extra drivers.

How can I verify the FTDI chip is communicating with the Roomba after I plug everything in?

Open a serial terminal at the Roomba's default baud rate; the FTDI activity LEDs will blink and the Roomba should respond with its firmware version string when you send the OI start command.
