- 2x 260mm tires
- this 3d printed tire adapter or this one
- 1x free wheel
- 2x clamping elements
- 2x Ardumower gear motors
- 2x motor drivers BTS7960
- 1x Ardumower Power pack charger
- 1x Ardumower Power pack battery
- 1x DC/DC converter
- 1x Arduino Nano
- R/C receiver and remote control
Motors
Find a place on your mower for the gear motors. Use the clamping elements and the tire adapters to attach the tires to the motors.
Free wheel
Use 4 screws and a plate to support the free wheel.
Control box
Mount the BTS7960 motor drivers, the Arduino Nano, the Ardumower Power Pack battery, the DC/DC converter and the model R/C receiver in a box. The DC/DC converter converts the Ardumower Power Pack battery 24v down to 9v for the Arduino voltage input. The motor drivers control the motors via the Arduino Nano. The signal of two model R/C receiver channels are sent to the Arduino to steer the mower and to control the speed.
