TekMow

The TekMow is a robotic lawnmower system for productive and efficient mowing. A motor will be used the power the movement of the TekMow, as well as the blades cutting the grass. A Vesc will be used to control the speed due to the motors, and also return some information regarding the TekMow(temperature, RPM, current draw). The goal was to create a budget battery powered lawn mower, that has features such as location mapping, stability sensing, among many others. The target consumers of the project would be anyone looking for a cost-effective method to chop, trim or mow grass patches, fields, lawns and gardens to ensure that the grass is well-groomed and grows at an even, appropriate height. The users of this project will have the ability to manually enter commands to control the i.e., an instruction to move the device straight forward. All serial commands including blade usage and movement would be received by the TekMow using the NRF, and any data the TekMow needs to send back the user would be done using the transmitter part of the NRF. Ongoing discussions will strive to perfect the working of this project.
