trying to test the perimeter sensor

[trkeenan]

All,
i just completed the 1.3 build. What a fantastic process!
I cannot figure out how to test if by buried wire sensor is working.
Is there a test routine i can use?
Please will someone help me out?
Thanks
Tim

The perimeter sender box has lights in it, and they will indicate whether the wire is complete or is broken. (how they light up depends on the software that you load on them).

For the ArduMower itself:

If you've loaded the Azurit firmware, and configured your bluetooth module, you can use the ArduRemote application to connect to the robot, and then use the "Log Sensors", and you'll see more details on https://wiki.ardumower.de/index.php?title=Azurit_Firmware_(English)#Perimeter_receiver

If you've loaded the Raindancer firmware, the "per.show" command will show the values of the perimeter sensors. https://wiki.ardumower.de/index.php?title=Raindancer_Firmware_(English)#Perimeter_Commissioning

Note: The perimeter sender needs to be programmed with different software for the Azurit and the Raindancer codes.
