January 2019: MUCH OF THE INFO HERE IS NOT CURRENT. I hope to update eventually! • Part 2 of this video: • Autonomous Mower Overview (Part 2) as... • Safety Disclaimer: A machine of this size can kill you. Please exercise extreme safety practices and never operate near children or others. Be sure you have a solid method for killing the engine quickly and reliably. I do not endorse any particular method. • Look for later videos for more details on the function of the parts used. Disclaimer: I am a Newbie to the Ardupilot/Ardurover world. Take my comments appropriately! :) • Below are the parts I used. Some of them were used because I had them on hand not because they were the best choice. You can perform the functions that the Sparkfun Redboard and Arduino Due boards are doing with other smaller, probably cheaper boards. You can likely have one board perform both functions. I will be optimizing the design at some point in the future, hopefully. This is a proof of concept, not a polished design. • GPS: u-blox C94-M8P - https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/c94... • Primary Control System Kit - Radiolink Pixhawk PX4 Kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01... • GPS Antenna: Garmin GA 38 - https://www.thegpsstore.com/Garmin-GA... • Cable kit (cut these in half to make cables for use with external devices such as GPS): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01... • Radio Telemtry Kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00... • Banana Connectors for Power: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06... • Servo Extension Cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01... and/or https://www.robotshop.com/en/sea-03-s... • UBEC (5V 3A Power Supply for Pixhawk): https://www.robotshop.com/en/5v-3a-po... • 4 Channel 5V 10A Relay Module: https://www.robotshop.com/en/4-channe... • Linear Actuator (2 required): https://www.robotshop.com/en/p16-line... • Actuonix Linear Actuator Control Board (2 required): https://www.robotshop.com/en/actuonix... (Note: I believe you could easily do this function with an Arduino or other controller.) • RadioLink RC Transmitter and Receiver: https://www.robotshop.com/en/radiolin... • Sparkfun Redboard (or your favorite Arduino clone): https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13975 or elsewhere. • Arduino Due (could probably use a Mega also): https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11589 or elsewhere. • UPDATE JUNE 3, 2018: I am now using LoRa for RTCM3 communication between base gps and rover gps. I am using 2 Adafruit Feather M0 with LoRa boards. I am still working on perfecting the communication. Updated video coming soon.
