Earlier this week researcher danielzuegner with help from MaxBandle shared via Twitter a script on his Github repository to control a Roomba robot vacuum cleaner and play MIDI songs using a PS4 DualShock 4 Controller... I bet all my fur babies would love this!

Below is a video of it in action, and from the README.md: Roomba with PS4 Controller

With this small project you can control your Roomba with a PlayStation 4 controller and play Midi songs.

Installation
Setup

• Check whether your Roomba has a micro USB port. I have a Roomba 960 and the USB port is located under a section of the chassis on the bottom right. See the image below for details:
  
  

  
  ​
• Connect a computer with the USB port I've used a Raspberry Pi Zero W with a powerbank, but other options should work.
• Clone this repo on the computer you want to use to control your Roomba
• Connect the computer to your PS4 controller, e.g., as described here.
• Figure out the device interface of the USB connection to your Roomba. For my Raspberry Pi, the port is /dev/ttyACM0.
• Figure out the device interface of the Bluetooth connection to your PS4 controller. In my case, this is /dev/input/js0.

Usage

Once your setup is complete, simply run:
and have fun! Steering is straightforward with the L3 analog stick. Vaccuuming can be turned on with R2. I've added a couple of songs to play on the square, x, circle, triangle, up arrow, and down arrow buttons...

While many in the PS4Scene may recall when The Playroom VR was Dumped and Decrypted, No Longer Used as a Donor due to being a demo / trial when loading game backups (albeit handy for PS4GDB / RING0GDB debugging) recently @tecniqueza shared on Twitter an Astro's Playroom (PPSA01325) file dump dubbed HDD PS5 ASTROBOOT.rar alongside a brief outline of how it was done for those interested in the PS5Scene while noting that, "games on PS5 have the installation very different from PS4 "

To recap briefly, the PlayStation 4 Scene began as raw PS4 Game Backups with the first PS4 scene release being DriveClub Alpha PS4, followed by the first Decrypted Audio Packet...

Since the Debian 11 with Emulators & TEARCH v2 PS4 Linux Distros and Steam Deck UI PS4 Linux Installation Guide, @d4rkst0rm recently shared a PS4 SalientOS (Arch Linux) Emulators & SteamDeck Distro alongside some demonstration videos from both DarkStorm PS4 and Lestat___ DeLioncourt on YouTube below.

To quote from Logic-Sunrise.com, roughly translated: PS4 SalientOS (Arch Linux) with SteamDeck available

Our friend developer and sunriser Darkstorm invites us to discover his latest Linux distribution called SalientOS.

Based on Arch Linux, this OS integrates SteamDeck and it can be launched with a new way of installing Linux which is simplified.

The Steamdeck interface is integrated into this distro, you can launch either the full screen version (FULL SCREEN in the launcher) or the windowed version (WINDOW in the launcher).

If the full screen version gives you a black screen, try launching the windowed version then closing it and relaunching the full screen version: this should solve the black screen problem.

Here are the features of SalientOS:

• Archlinux based
• BIOS or UEFI
• Scalable version model
• AUR support (if needed)
• PAMAC / YAY included
• XFCE / KDE Plasma
• Installer Calamares
• Optimized for gamers (gamemode, dxvk etc)
• Optimized for multimedia (real-time audio configuration)
• CUPS printer support
• Quick access to menus
• Lutris / Steam included
• Optimized system limits (limits.conf / user.conf)
• Multimedia: KODI VLC
• Back-end: wine proton, lutris

Emulators:

Cemu, Citra, Desmume, Dolphin, Dosbox, DuckStation, Mame, EmulationStation, Fceux, Fs-uae, Fusion, Hatari, Heroic launcher (epic games), Higan, Icarus, VirtualJaguard, PCSX2, Playonlinux, PPSSPP, Retroarch, RPCS3, Ryujinx , SteamDeck UI, Steam, Stella, Visualboyadvance, Xemu, Yabause, Yuzu, Zsnes.
