Teensy PCB Ardumower (T-Mow)

With PfodApp ,you can use Wifi
With Arduremote only Bluetooth.
You can connect USB cable to ESP32 and check console to see the IP adress

I used the Arduino monitor and connection is ok, also found the connection on my box. I fixed the IP address directly in config.h ( IPAddress ip(192, 168, 0, 30); //you need to set a fix IP according to your routeur value)

I tried to use PfodApp, but didn't manage to connect to the Teensy.
The buzzer is working all the time... omg... it's alive ! :D

It's not normal.
Is it a 3.3V buzzer ???
Can you show me the console of the teensy ?

For pfod follow the screenshot , Your phone need to be connected in WIFI to your Live box or to ESP32 if you use AP.

The buzzer is a 4 to 6.5VCC but I gave 8881 instead of 80 on port, as you wrote, and the connection is now ok ! :D

I clicked on "OFF" and the buzzer stopped working. Each time I give power on PCB, the buzzer start warning, but maybe because I have no battery on the PCB ? just to click on OFF and the warning stops.

I can now send orders from my PC or my tablet to the PCB, thanks Bernard ! :D

Try into pfod:
click on command and OFF
Back
Into Error counters / Reset Counter.
Back
And into Setting / Save setting.
Reboot

Into Setting IMU IMU Use to YES
Reboot
Into Setting IMU / Click on Accel Gyro Initial Calibration and wait or check console .

Reboot

Normaly only 3 beep on startup.

HOW did you send order from your PC ?????:unsure:
 
I've done all those manipulations, and I have 4 beeps on restart, no remaining buzzer anymore.

I'm using BlueStacks (downloaded version, not on the cloud); it's a free Androïd emulator). Thanks Bernard.

Bernard, why are you using a PI zero w2, for what ?
For the onboard camera maybe ? I use it for my 3D printer.

Yes it is use to stream the video but I use only Pi4 and Pi3B+ and never test the Pi Zero 2W
But not only for that:
It help to have a tactile screen on the mower, use a PS4 remote controler ,Plot data etc.... and a friendly interface for mower from VNC viewer.
It's also possible with Pi4 to detect object or person using AI tensorflow .
Everything is in the WiKi and on some video.



Here vision video with a chair.


 
Thanks Bernard, it seems you had a Pi Zero.

Woww... I have an headache now... not really easy to install a screen but really nice when done. I'd like to go on the vncviewer solution on a tablet to send orders to the mower. A screen on the mower itself could bring more connections problems. I really go step by step.

Interesting video about the camera using AI tensorflow... ! Can a HR-SR04 Sensor detect a chair or it will be on the "bumpers" microswitch to do the job ?

The next thing... prices for Pi4 are really crazy.... ! :)

Yes It's a Pi Zero W and is power limited, but useful for testing and recording console data.
It work at low speed if you want to stream video and use software plot etc... at the same time.

You talk me about a Pi Zero W2 ,the last version and normally this one is OK but difficult to order actually at low price .


For AI vision the chair was only for video but it is more useful to person detection and work better in this case.
HR-SR04 is not really 100% ok outdoor .

The best use of all sensor in the soft are to use AI vision for human detection / HR-SR04 to reduce speed near obstacle and avoid shoot on it / Bumper to stop /and max motor sense for bumper issue.
 
Hello Bernard,

is there an AI vision solution that also works for barcodes or other signs? I am thinking about the possibility of using traffic and orientation signs to control the lawn mower. That should work if you can recognise these signs by camera.

Certainly not a problem and you don't need AI for this kind of feature --> opencv is more easy for that


 
OK... at last, I have then to install your setup; what about dogs ? I have 4 pieces at home... :D

Well, chassis are at home and the firstone is dismantled... . :)

Note that they really don't care about how they send those machines and if they have to protect or not thoseones... . :(
 
Working on PCB's installation. Next, I have to watch which device I have to install for first tests. Well also, I have to find a battery.

This support is printed in white PLA first for testing, than will be printed in PETG.

Very cool.
Can you upload it here or on Thingiverse? I could use it too :)
Now, if you can manage to design a replacement housing for the upper housing with the old number field, in which the 5" touch screen also fits, you are my friend :-)
And I'll drink a pastis to you when I'm back in France for vacation o_O

I'm not sure, but maybe it's a good idea to remove the magnets on the right and left in the housing mounting, they could become a problem for the compass. There are also two at the top front of the case.
 
My 5 inch screen is dead (Not support the winter)
I have receive a 3.5 Inch (HDMI one mandatory) and i actually print the 3D housing.
Tomorrow ,if everything fit well i can share the 3D file.
