Hi,
Long time lurker, third time poster. I have a question for you guys. I got a roomba and I hate having to tell it to go. I want to basically take a push button and convert it to automatically "press" once a day. I was thinking of soldering a 555 on to the traces as an astable vibrator with biasing to have it on for 1 second and have it off for a really really long time comparably(about 24 hours). Is there a more elegant way to implement this. It would have to be something simple because I will be soldering on to the traces.
needless to say, this is hard to test in a circuit capture program because of the abnomally long down time and short time up.
