A few years ago, I added WiFi to my Roomba using a 3rd party add-on. Sadly, it looks like Thinking Cleaner, the company which created the WiFi unit is no longer manufacturing them. But in their latest firmware release, they added a fun new option - the ability to make your Roomba sing!
I've hacked @edent_roomba to obey its true master.

The Roomba has a basic speaker. It can play pre-recorded status messages - but it can also chirp out basic musical notes.
Following their guide to adding new songs, I was able to customise my device to show true deference the ruler of our household!
I am thoroughly unmusical, so if any of you are able to magic up some delightful new tunes - that would be wonderful!
You haven't yet hacked a midi to Roomba converter?
You disappoint me.
