Roomba Black Carpet Fix - Disable Cliff Sensors

Просмотров 114 тыс.

% 533

The reason that the Roomba 980 gets stuck on black carpet or floors is that it perceives as a cliff. The edge sensors need to be disabled with a reflective surface. I do this with a piece of paper and tape. By disabling these sensors the Roomba will not sense stairs or other cliffs and will fall off, so only do this if this is not an issue in your home.

This is fantastic! I have no drop offs to worry about, but could not get my Roomba to stop complaining at some very dark carpet. Support was no help and said there is no way to disable the cliff sensor. Your solution was simple and worked like a charm. Thank you!

You would think they would have an option on the app to shut them off.

@j_356_5 4 года назад

I asked them to put an option to do just that in the software with a warning that it can fall. But they are too lazy and stupid to so so.

@zanpekosak2383 4 года назад

@@j_356_5 Its not as easy as you think it might be. Yeah adding a section in the app would be really simple but I am sure flashing all the Roombas out there wouldnt be. You have to know if there is no option defined in the code of the microprocessor itself than it requires a reflash. And a reflash can only be done it you take the chip out.

@j_356_5 4 года назад

It can get included in the firmware update. The problem is the sensors are a shit design and hence why vacuums like the 980 which were seriously expensive are now discontinued and new ones like the i7 an do black carpet. They just didnt want to deal with liability of them falling.

Thank you SO much!! The ‘cliff’ warning has been a problem here. Dark wood floors, dark carpet, and even under tables. I had been turning on EVERY light in the house to keep it going. Lights helped, but it still was stuck under the same table in the foyer corner. Such a simple fix!! 👍

@raysmith7885 3 года назад

When I put the pieces of paper over the "cliff sensors" with a very tight fit to the surface of the sensor it did not work. It acted as if it was still on black carpet and told me to move to a new location. When I put just a tiny fold in the paper and made for a looser fit over the sensor -- it worked great. So in my case I had to make sure I did NOT have it super close to the sensor because apparently no light will get reflected back and it will not work. Also, I found doing one sensor at a time, then checking if the Roomba is still working, worked better than covering them all at once. When I covered them all at once it took a while for me to figure out which sensor cover was too tight. (The paper being too close might be why Celeste N could not get this to work -- see her comment below). Finally, I tried it WITHOUT putting the scotch tape on sensor side of the paper covers and could not get it to work. The tape on sensor side was a must for my machine, though I dont know why. All in all, a GREAT idea and I am GRATEFUL. Peace

Thank you so much. I tried white paper taped over the sensors it didn't work. I added the shipping tape to both sides and now they both work. I have 2 Roomba's they are both running as I type. Thank you so much. We just purchased two rugs with black in them & both of them would not work on the rugs. Now they are running. I like this solution I don't have to take the whole Roomba apart. I would have thought Roomba would have come up with a solution to this with something that snapped over them. But they haven't that I can find. We did have a 2 story home and we needed the sensors to work. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, I've been having a ton of problems getting my roomba to go over my black carpet and I have tried everything. Aluminum foil over the sensors worked for a while but suddenly stopped working.

@sunshine9497 Год назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My iRobot Roomba series 6 worked great until I bought a black and white patterned area rug for my living room. Using your suggestion, I originally tried regular paper with shiny tape and also tried tinfoil but I think they adhered too closely to the sensors making them believe they were 'dirty' which kept triggering Error 6. Using thick Glossy Photo Paper worked for me as I think a thick paper doesn't rest as closely to the surface of the sensors (for my model anyway). It would make sense if the product designers included a setting to disable 'Cliff Sensoring' for customers who do not have stairs. Anyway, I'm very happy you provided this work-around. Thank you again!!

@seanivey9013 10 месяцев назад

This is good if you do not want to open your Roomba. It works. The problem is the surfaces the get covered with tape/paper are also the surfaces that rub if you have shag type carpet. Eventually the paper/tape will get worn thru. For mine the tiny and sticky bit that came off got into one of the drive wheels needing that to be replaced. I recommend looking for this RU-vid video "Roomba TRUE Black Carpet Dark Border Cliff Sensor FIX (NO TAPE or FOIL)". you open your Roomba ans tape the IR emitters to the sensors so they always 'see' each other. Again, this video to tape a slightly reflective cover on the sensors is an 'easy fix'. It works. FYI: foil didn't work for me, but white paper did, go figure. I will be doing the 'true' fix for a longer term solution.

@shaman_uria 4 года назад

Sooo I’ve tried this with the 671. The trick is to leave some space between the sensor and the paper. I use aluminum tape works too...but only for some time. I’m trying some tweaks to this method now, haven’t found the perfect solution until now...but for now it’s better than to disable the sensors by opening the robot and voiding my warranty

@Rdff522 3 года назад

@mandolinic 3 года назад

I've had to do this fix on various robots from different manufacturers. The easiest was the Vileda, which only needed a couple of bendy drinking straws and no tape. I just got a new iRobot e5 yesterday, and while it's a little better than older versions, it still gets confused by the stripes so I'm going to have to do it again. It's completely ridiculous to pay hundreds of pounds/dollars for an "intelligent" robot, and then have to bodge it with paper and sticky tape, which means then it can't be used upstairs without the risk of an accident.

@rogeriopenna9014 4 месяца назад

They should just include the possibility to MAP dark surfaces on the app! So the robot "knows" that when going through that dark area, it's not in danger of falling, it's a dark surface. And I mean that for ALL robot cleaners (mine is not a Roomba) In fact, I mapped my house from a Charging Stating located between a black carpet and a glass door (so there was a corridor for it). I intended to add a "no go zone" over the black carpet. After mapping the whole house, some 2 and half hours doing it, I discovered the app won´t accept having a no go area so close to the charging station. And removing the no go area, it goes directly over the black carpet when leaving the charging station, resulting in it stopping. So I will have to change the Chargint Station location and will have to remmap the damn house again.

Before you grab your scissors, consider the method demonstrated here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MJDTyNdmMRA.html; an effective remedy for this annoying flaw in Roomba design; AND, is a fix that lasts the life of the vacuum; AND, works across ALL Roomba models. (as of the date of this post). Be warned, however, that this alternative method requires you to 1) COMPLETELY disassemble your Roomba, 2) disassemble and modify the cliff sensors, and 3) reassemble the vacuum.

@@lennonleikam4518 that's understandable, but it's also easy to add in "detection" for the app that the company can easily say "well, you turned the sensors off and selected yes on the are you sure warning, so we're sorry but it's your fault."

@eltink53 4 года назад

They don't offer it because then they wouldn't be selling their virtual walls. virtual walls are great if you don't want it to go into a room I guess but if you use the virtual walls because you have a rug that has blocks of dark it simply won't clean the rug. I returned my Roomba 600 series and I'm looking for a robot vac that doesn't have those sensors. I even bought sensor covers specifically made for this problem and even that didn't work.
