Ardumower WIKI - the construction manual for your Ardumower

Here you get an overview of what is required to build an Ardumower and how an Ardumower works:

Manuals, Basics, Tutorials

PS: The english pages are more up do date

Here you can find detailed manuals for assembling the chassis, assembling the PCB, uploading the software etc.:

Firmwares overview

Here you can compare the features of the individual firmwares (e.g. which firmware supports a perimeter wire, which firmware supports RTK etc.)

Warning: All software, hardware and motor components are designed and optimized as a whole, if you try to replace or exclude some component not as designed, you risk to damage your hardware with the designed software.
