Hi all,
Frequently reading, rarely posting, I have a few thoughts about the ardumower.
I've been experimenting with Xbee (on ardunio, not the ardumower).
I've seen the pilots about particle filtering.
I know the computing-limitations of ardunio.
My thoughts:
Would it be nice / possible to connect an Xbee to the ardumower (pin 0/RX and 1/TX are not used..)
This way movement information (compas / direction, odometry-data, etc) can be sent to the Xbee (LONG DISTANCE, > 50 meters, through brick walls etc.)
A PC with Xbee connection can do the calculations, for example in processing like shown in the pilots.
This way it should even be possible to have two separate perimeter-wires, and move the ardumower between two perimeter-areas.
Via Xbee it would even be possible to switch on / off the perimeters on arrival / departure of the ardumower..
I am not thoroughly familiar with the coding of the Ardumower. Digging into the code, I found that it is "not allowed" to use "Serial", but I would not mind losing the bluetooth connection, and substituting this with a PC-connection (Xbee).
Any thoughts about this?
Kind regards,
Woody
