All,
Got the plugin working for my roomba today... it's great... i can see lots of possibilities.. .. (reminder to empty bin... notice to find roomba because he is stuck.. etc)
I had a HECK OF A TIME getting the dorita980 working...
I eventually set up a debian virtual machine (virtualbox).. and did the following:
installed node.js and npm on the debian system following the tutorial located here:
http://nodesource.com/blog/installin...-debian-linux/
Then installed dorita980 (getpassword.js) from here
https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980
The part i used from this site is:
I had tried doing the above on my Raspberry pi, but since it is only a Model B (First gen), i couldnn't get node.js to install.
I also had a hard time finding an install for Node.JS that had a decent tutorial/walk through... the one above is exactly what i was looking for.
I post the info here .. in the hopes that what took me several hours... will take the next person only a 1/2 hour or so..
Again.. love the plugin so far.. i actually have 2 980's in the house.. and will set the other one up in a few days.. (should only take a few minutes now to get the BLID and password now that i have the VM setup)
Thanks Blade for doing the plugin... very much appreciated.

HTML Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980.git $ cd dorita980 $ npm install $ npm run getpassword <robotIP> Example Output: $ cd dorita980 $ npm install $ npm run getpassword 192.168.1.103 > node ./bin/getpassword.js "192.168.1.103" Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on. Then press and hold the HOME button on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds). Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light. Then press any key... { ver: '2', hostname: 'Roomba-xxxxxxxxxxxxx', robotname: 'Dorita', ip: '192.168.1.103', mac: '12:12:12:12:12:12', sw: 'v2.0.0-34', sku: 'R98----', nc: 0, proto: 'mqtt', blid: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx' <---- username/blid } Password=> :1:1486937829:gktkDoYpWaDxCfGh <= Yes, all this string. Use this credentials in dorita980 lib :)
