I'm getting tired of being swarmed by bugs every time I have to mow which in peak season is every three days. I'd much rather sit in my air conditioned office and control the thing with a gamepad. I don't think the robot mowers are capable of handling anything more than a suburban lawn with those teeny tiny razor blades they use. It actually seems like it would be an easy project. I need: - One servo on each hydro - A camera - A way to trigger the parking brake (might be a bit tricky as my cub cadet does this when you rest the lapbars) - Control software (this is actually the easy part for me as I have a background in software engineering) Can use wifi for connectivity. I'd setup an AP specifically for mowing purposes to get the range needed. Actually, can do multiple APs, as long as they use the same SSID the thing can roam. Anyone done this? It seems almost simple. Just need servos that have the right torque to manhandle the hydros and everything else seems like a freshman-level engineering project.
