You have to install an esp8266 within your neato. Solder RX, TX, 3V and GND to the Serial Pins.
A picture which explains the port you'll find in this post -> http://www.robotreviews.com/chat/viewtopic.php?t=15349&f=4
Hint: VCC = 3.3V, RTS is not used and CTS is not used
Flash the image from https://www.neatoscheduler.com/ onto your ESP. -> You must create an account to get the image.
Or build and flash your own image from https://github.com/HawtDogFlvrWtr/botvac-wifi
Hint: If you want to build your image, you could comment out the things which connects to the neatoscheduler website, this is not needed.
If everything is setup your esp/neato will connect to your wifi and opens a websocket on port 81, which this project will communicate with.
