I'm new to iRobot and I have implemented a C# sample that can send data to iRobot.

But how can I get Sensor feed back and internal values like battery capacity ?

I found this article [1] but I'm new to both C# and iRobot.

any help would be great.

If you download the C# code here you can see exactly how to grab all the sensor data:

I also copied the code to my github project where I'm trying to redo it all in Node.js using WebRTC and EasyRTC so there's no need for that Windows Only* executable.

You should be able to just log into a web page, allow access to your web camera, and drive it with WASD keys without downloading anything!
