Bluetooth

To initiate the bluetooth connections, I had to install "IVT BlueSoleil". The link to the download file is here. It definitely takes a few tries to actaully establish a proper connection via bluetooth and run the program. IVT BlueSoleli has a GUI and first the connection has to be established between the pc and the robot.

Even after the connection is established, the program might not run immediately and the it is definitely a wise choice to run "RoombaInit.m" file before any other file. This file for some reason immediately runs without any issues. Following it any other program would run very smooth. :)
