Hi all,
I have discovered ardumower few days ago (great job all of you) , and i'm really thinking to build one
But i have some questions, since it can be difficult to enter this projet; I have read the wiki, been reading around the forum (thanks google translate) and thinking about how i'm going to do it!
First i'm going to make a prototype, and then if everything is good, 3D print one of the version i saw on this forum and thingiverse and build a "clean long term" one
Anyway, here are my questions:
- since i'm doing drone, robotics, 3D printing etc. for few year, i have a lot of spare parts, boards & shields (Arduino mega, due, motors shield, lan shield, Raspberry 2,3,4,), motors (DC motor with encoders, brushless motors, esc...), sonar (hc sr04, us100, gy42), lidar (tfmini), motor drivers from 3D printers ... - Can we build without ordering the PCB1.3 or modules ? i know PCB make this easier, but prototype will be "low budget, quick and dirty" I would probably have to run into firmware to adjust pin? or is the firmware made for specific components?
- I saw their is 3 version of firmware, last one in development, handling GPS RTK (nice , but does it also manage the classic perimeter (as i understood futur develoment will be on this firmware, but too lany tree for me to use GPS RTK) ?
- I understood with forum that we can connect a RPI and have some python script running and interfacing with ardumower; but i couldn't really find instructions about it on wiki, anyone can share info?
- I saw on thingiverse a Height box, to select the cut height of lawn; but i couldn't find any reference in wiki; is it something in the project? (and selectable in GUI / mobile app?)
Thanks all for your help
