Overview
Remote Controlled (RC) Lawn Mower that Ratmandu was talking about.
See example here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~tnpshow/RCLM/intro.htm
Meterials
Potential Materials
- Lawn Mower (push kind)
- BrokenTrace said he would take a look at the not-working mower next time he got a chance
- I have listed a wanted add on craigslist, and took the opportunity for some marketing: http://huntsville.craigslist.org/wan/1715017438.html
- Bluetooth to Serial module (for controlling via internet)
Materials On Hand
- Motor Control
- PreauxPhoto has one of these available: http://www.firstwiki.net/index.php/Victor_884
- This microcontroller will take in PWM and output enough current to drive larger motors
- PreauxPhoto has one of these available: http://www.firstwiki.net/index.php/Victor_884
- Motors
- PreauxPhoto has 12V DC Motors
- Battery (for powering the electric motors)
- PreauxPhoto has batteries that can drive his motors
- Spacefelix said he would donate his battery in the storage room to the project if we wanted it
- RC Transmitter and Receiver Unit (hobby RC receivers output PWM signal)
- PreauxPhoto has
