OpenMower - The affordable Open Source DIY Smart GPS Robotic Mower Clemens Elflein 2022-04-04 | The Open Mower project allows you to build your own smart lawn mower robot using the Raspberry Pi and an Arduino. The robot is able to localize itself using very precise RTK GPS. As base for this project, an off-the-shelf robot mower is used. The electric components and the software are published as an open source project.This robot lawn mower is able to record a map of your lawn and mow it automatically. All path planning and navigation is done on the robot mower directly.If you want to build your own GPS robotic lawn mower, you can get the hardware and software on GitHub. But since this is an expensive project, I recommend to ask your questions in my Discord before you start building your own robotic lawn mower.Since many of you asked which mower exactly I bought, it's this one:amzn.to/3NWgIxkLINKSDiscord: discord.gg/jE7QNaSxW7GitHub: github.com/ClemensElflein/OpenMowerPatreon: patreon.com/ClemensElfleinBlog: https://x-tech.online/CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro00:34 - About the Project01:37 - Step 1: Teaching the Map02:26 - Step 2: Enjoy the Show03:23 - Robot Mower Hardware04:47 - EndCREDITSThe title image and all background music is licensed from shutterstock.comDISCLAIMER Under no circumstances will Clemens Elflein be responsible or liable in any way for any content, including but not limited to, any errors or omissions in the content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any content communicated in this video, whether by Clemens Elflein or a third party.In no event shall Clemens Elflein be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever resulting from loss of use, data or profits arising out of or in connection with the availability, use or performance of any information communicated in this video.Due to factors beyond the control of Clemens Elflein, he cannot guarantee against improper use or unauthorized modifications of this information.Clemens Elflein assumes no liability for property damage or injury incurred as a result of any of the information contained in this video.Use this information at your own risk.

xESC 2040 Open Source Brushless (BLDC) Motor Controller Update for OpenMower with Soldering Tutorial Clemens Elflein 2022-05-27 | Thank you to PCBWay.com for supporting my work on the OpenMower by sponsoring this video!You can get your own PCBs starting at $5 per 10 PCBs here: pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=558112In this video I'm showing my progress on the xESC2040 open source brushless motor controller which was designed to be used with the OpenMower open source robot lawn mower project. I also decided to show my manual soldering process once, since many of you asked. There are a lot of great SMD soldering tutorials on YouTube, so it's a good idea to check out some other videos as well.I hope that you like the video! Thank you to all my Patreons and for all the support I'm getting.Also a special thank you to perryc on my Discord for helping me with the motor controller design shown in this video!LINKSHere are the links to the products I'm using:- SMD Hot Plate: amzn.to/3LUpiuc- Microscope: amzn.to/3lMHMSX- Tweezers: amzn.to/3wWx7Kq- Soldering Iron: amzn.to/3avvtIx- Flux: amzn.to/3PMDad9- Discord: discord.gg/jE7QNaSxW7- GitHub: github.com/ClemensElflein/OpenMower- Patreon: patreon.com/ClemensElflein- Blog: https://x-tech.online/CHAPTERS00:00 Intro00:29 About the Controller01:23 Things You Need for Soldering03:20 Soldering How-To07:20 Testing the Board08:12 More InfoDISCLAIMERParts of the thumbnail and all background music is licensed from shutterstock.comThe links in this video description may be affiliate links for which I might get a promotion if you order a product using one of the links.

OpenMower: Robot Hardware | YardForce Classic 500 Teardown, Mainboard Replacement, Firmware Install Clemens Elflein 2022-04-21 | In this video I'm showing how I replaced the electronics in my YardForce Classic 500 robotic mower. The first step is to disassemble the mower. Then I configured the hardware and installed Ubuntu on my Raspberry Pi. Finally I installed my custom electronics in the original enclosure.I hope that you like the video!

Fast and Robust Lane Detection using OpenCV Clemens Elflein 2016-05-23 | Using a self-made real time lane detection algorithm, we are able to do fast lane tracking and following. Even if the track is lost for some reason, the car will find it's way back.The algorithm is written using OpenCV and runs with 30fps on a Intel Atom processor.If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
