Ardumower Gasoline (R/C conversion)

[nero76]

Hello,

Sometimes the full Ardumower robot is a little bit too complex as a starter project and sometimes all what you want is simply 'tune' your existing gasoline mower.

That's why I had the idea for this project - converting your existing gasoline mower to remote control (R/C) - and of course, using Ardumower components from the shop. Here's the full story: http://wiki.ardumower.de/index.php?title=Ardumower_Gasoline

Hi Alexander.
Very cool and i think lot of work for the WIKI.
Why did you use this motor driver instead of the MC33926 ?

Hello Bernard,
I wanted to use a minimalistic design (not a complex PCB required for a full robot like the Ardumower, just free wiring for the Arduino Nano), so using a motor driver that does not need an additional protector PCB. The BTS driver seem to work without protector PCB.
