Hey all, so i don't know if anyone will be interested but i thought it could be fun. So i am lazy, i wont lie. If i don't have to i wont. I am tight too and these two don't go hand in hand well lol. I have a 3D printer and some parts so i am going to build a Lawn Mower The idea is simple and here is my parts list :-
3x Ultra Sonic Sensors, I plan to use these to guide it. One for the front and one for each side, my hope is to get a 180 field of view.
1x Camera, Just so i can watch it
1x Pi Zero, I chose the Zero as it uses not a lot of electric but does what i need, it is a big laggy so i may upgrade to a pi4 later on.
3x DC motors, 2 will power my tracks and one will power the trimmer motor
2x Battery banks, 1 for the pi and one for the motors. I am hoping to hook these up to solar panels
1x Level sensor, Simple idea. If it is no longer flat then turn off the trimmer motor
The idea, is simple. To be able to sit at my desk and mow the lawn, so far ive got a little robot that can go, forward, left and right. My partner got me this kit for Christmas so its helped https://camjam.me/?page_id=1035 . I can also control it over the wifi so thats handy. I will upload a picture of it tomorrow and a link to my github in case anyone wants to follow along ow and i will be uploading my STL files for it too
