Robo-Mower Update (LCD readouts) Ah, finally... My new LCD screens came in and I have them mounted to show battery condition and later as more sensors come online I can add additional read outs - next up is adding a 5.8ghz FPV system for remote mowing and then it'll be on to robotic sensors to add some degree of automation into the mix.

But for now; it's just about done on the mechanical side. I also had a Holy Spirit Eureka moment today while staring at the machine... "Why not put the original mowers wheels back on to add stability!" - I gave it a try and headed out front of my shop to some overpass embankments and WHOA that idea made all the difference... Just perfect, very stable and helps keeping the mower deck level while moving over rough and steep terrain.

See what you think:



Till next time, get out and hack something!!! Have fun!!

Proto-Type Finished (sort of) Finally got the robo-mower painted and re-assembled; locktite on all the bolts, everything silicon sealed and water-proof and ready to go. All I'm lacking at this point are two Blue LED read-out screens that'll mount on the electronics box to display running info about the bot; battery, charge, Amps and AH plus more info as the other sensors come online.

Very excited to get it out and try it out... will post some videos once I'm out mowing!! Here are the pictures for you to check out, enjoy!!




This is my master ON/OFF switch to cut the power.


The LCD's will be on this box and will show various read-outs on the robots systems - should have those in a few days from Amazon.com!! 
With a platform like this it should be easy to switch out the mower if you wanted to run a leave mulcher or a blower or anything... I wanted it to as modular as possible so as I saw new needs I could use the same bot...  That's it…

Great read about a common issue that a lot of us #3dprintingshops have... this guy found a great solution and also mentioned how MakerGeeks.com filament stacked up against the other filament he has used in the past! Thank you!! 

Also a good looking print of a Colt 45 model 1911 A1 gun printed in MakerGeeks.com White ABS Filament!
