NOTE: everything here is still in development! Use Azurit firmware instead if you need a working firmware...

Ardumower Sunray is an alternative Firmware (experimental) for the Ardumower. It requires PCB1.3, Arduino Due, ArduSimpleRTK kit and a phone (Android/iOS). It uses RTK to localize itself without a perimeter wire.

Demo video: coming soon

Significant changes compared to Azurit Firmware

• Optimized for PCB 1.3
• Optimized for Arduino Due
• Optimized for RTK

Requirements

• Ardumower motors using odometry
• Ardumower PCB 1.3 (incl. MC33926 motor drivers)
• Arduino Due
• SimpleRTK2B - starter kit LR IP67
• Bluetooth BLE module (CC2540) and a smartphone (Android/iOS)

Bluetooth BLE module

Install Bluetooth 4.0/BLE module as shown below. Important: Verify the pinout of your BLE module is matching your PCB pinout (shown at the PCB back side)!

PCB1.3 GPS

The pins TX3 and RX3 are incorrectly routed on PCB1.3 - Fix it by swapping the TX3 and RX3 pin headers as shown eblow:

RTK base

RTK rover

Firmware

1. Download Ardumower Sunray Firmware and unzip it: https://github.com/Ardumower/Sunray/archive/master.zip

2. Open the Arduino sketch 'sunray.ino'.

3. Start Arduino IDE, and upload the sketch to your PCB1.3.

2. After uploading, start your Ardumower - after a short while you should hear a 'beep'. Ardumower is now ready for your commands!

Phone App
