I have been working on my own version of a Raspberry Pi powered lawn mower after printing and running the software from PiMowBot. I found that the PiMowBotIt software did not quite fit my needs as I wanted a way to geofence the robot and implement some other features. Hardware wise, I've mostly followed the instructions on the PiMowBot site with the exception of removing the relay and using two IBT-2 motor drivers for the wheel instead of the L298N as I could not get it to work consistently.
Software wise, I have started from scratch to create code that controls the mower and runs a web based user interface utilizing python, html, css, and js. So far I have most, if not all of the individual components working, but have not yet successfully implemented path planning and the main.py code to pull it all together.
While I have a basic understanding of coding, I'm far from an expert and am open to anyone who wants to contribute to the project or finds any of this useful. My github repository is here: https://github.com/acredsfan/autonomous_mower. I will post pictures of my mower at a later date if anyone is interested, but it's an early version of the one referenced here: http://pimowbot.tgd-consulting.de/
