-The FT232RL have a configurable CBUS  I/O Pin Options, in which CBUS0 have a default configuration of  TXLED#   for pulsing an LED upon transmission of data, and CBUS1 have a default configuration of  RXLED#  for pulsing an LED upon receiving data. (See LED Interface on PDF). The value of led’s resistors depend on the D.C. Forward Current of the leds.

-This interface also contains a voltage regulator circuit to get power to the KINET from the BOT. The input voltage of this regulator is VBAT (14.4V) and the output 12V, but when the ROOMBA is charging the input up until more than 19V, for this way it’s necessary to used an appropriate heat sinks for this device.
