Beginner - Ardumower Build Thread (picture heavy)

[pemiso]

Thank you very much Thomas!

A great job! I just assembled the chassis in shortest time based on your assembly manual.

Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards ... Peter from Germany

Hi @all.

First of all: thanks to the devoloper and Marotronics for this super cool project.

My ArduMower kit arrived two days ago. I assambled the chassis (@AeroWave, thank you very much for the helpful pictures), but now I'm struggeling with the engines workaround. A 100nF capacitor is mentioned here in the thread, but in the manual on GitHub there is a 47nF / 100V. Does it matter?
How can one remove the plastic cover of the engines safely?

And last, but not least: are there any pictures from mainboard as mentioned?

Thank you for the guide, it is very clear.

The motor hubs have an independent steel ring, does it have a purpose or should it be removed?

You don’t need it. Remove it.
