Proxymow Automated Robot Lawn Mower (Mower)

What the project does

Proxymow is a robotic lawn mower system that uses computer vision to locate and guide the mower. This repository contains the MicroPython source code for the mower device. The sister repository Proxymow Server contains the source code for the server.

Why the project is useful

Proxymow differs from many robotic mowers:

• Does not rely on vulnerable boundary wires
• Does not use GPS or Bollards
• Does not need to be taught a route, supports plug-in mowing patterns
• Employs very low cost technology: Rasperry Pi, NodeMCU

Getting started

Clone or Download the repo and change directory to the installation folder.

Edit utils.py to set up Wi-Fi access, and schematic.py to wire up your mower.

Use Thonny, or rshell to deploy the following MicroPython files to your device:

• main.py
• mower.py
• schematic.py
• utils.py
• shared_utils.py
• artic.py
• umotion_lib.py

Reset the device and use the test client to issue some commands:

    cd clients; python udp_client.py 

Getting help

Read the documentation module information.
