RC Mower Project

3689550270?profile=original

This my First post to DIYdrones Blog and hope to keep it up to date as I evolve this project.

I have some new Videos on My YouTube Channel.  

Currently I have not Automated the Unit, but have several different versions of the Mower and Drive System.

I have settled on a version that uses a Wheel Chair Base, with Scorpion Controller.  It currently 
uses just 2 channels off an RC Unit.  This controls the Dual Wheel Drive system.

As you can see from the picture above, the mowing section is separate from the rover drive system.

If you look close in the picture below, you will see I have an APM - ArduPilot Mega + IMU. I have install the Rover Software, but am working on converting it to a dual wheel drive/steering system.
