Now that you have your hardware assembled and the basic software installed on your mower, we can calibrate the magnetometer and start recordings maps and mowing the lawn.
Prerequisites
In order to follow this guide, you will need the following:
- A mower modified to run the OpenMower software
- A working system image, where you can run the OpenMower software
- An ssh connection to your mower
- Optional, but very useful: A Linux PC where you can run RVIZ to visualize what your mower is doing
Magnetometer Calibration
The first step after finishing your assembly is to calibrate the magnetometer. This is important, because the magnets and metal parts embedded in the mower will interfere with the magnetic sensor. That's why it's important to do this after finishing the assembly!
In order to start magnetometer calibration, start the OpenMower software on the mower using: `roslaunch open_mower open_mower.launch`
