Project overview and timeline
Current status and future goals - See it here
Where to find more information
The entry points for more information are:
- The Discord for the project
- Annoncements in the Discord
- YouTube
- Open Mower Main GitHub Repo - Overall and hardware
- Open Mower GitHub Repo for the ROS logic in the OpenMower
- xESC Motor Controller Repo (custom part for main board)
How to Get Started
One of the first steps currently is to browse around the discord and understand what the project is about. You can also have a look at Clemens' second video (here) of the project that details how to assemble the bot.
When you're ready, you can have a look at the Building the Mower section to see the Bill of Materials and steps required (Note this wiki is in progress and not complete yet, but we're working on it!)
How to contribute
At the moment, there are different ways to contribute:
- Building your own mower, testing the software and reporting bugs / committing fixes on the github repository
- If you're not scared to see the inside of some mowers, please help us understand more about how they are built following instructions in the Mower Dissection page.
- And finally, Patreon to support Clemens' amazing work
