in this video we go over the build, if you are looking for the code you can email me : danbuckman20@gmail.com I don't check my email every day but I do periodically and will reply
In the world of RC controllers, there is the ability to adjust the exponential value for the control joystick. By increasing the "expo" value of the stick it dumbs down the sensitivity of the stick around its center point. This results in slow controllable movement instead of full blast the moment you touch the stick. I dont have a clue how you get there with your setup but if you can, its worth it. Its a setting in the transmitter.
How did you get the arduino to turn on the lawnmower? Can you please provide a link to your code or attach the file(s). Or even copy paste just that one part here. I love how you are using an xbox controller I wanted to do a build like that, but decided that is much more work and I am going with a flysky controller. I appreciate your videos and help!
Great. Looks like lawnmover was as secondary job, primary is baggy. I did build petrol mover with howerboard wheels, but i trying to modefy lawnmower itself minimally, so still is possible to attach grass collector. And hide added comonents including battery and hoverboard controller board. But 4 drive wheels make more fun deffinetly 👍
Believe it or not even with all those electronics on the back you can still attach the bag. However I cut the bag up and use it for a different project already. 😂
They have hall sensors. I'm using 4 brushless motor drivers with Hall sensor. The Arduino is creating digital and analog signals to control the motor controllers.
Did you program the logic by itself, or maybe there are already written programs? I don't like the fact that does speed controllers doesn't have 2 pwm inputs, for speed and turning ;( any advice for people who don't write code? Thanks!
Yes I wrote the code myself. I didn't add it in the video because although it works it's terrible code. I never actually gone to school to learn how to write code. I just TH-cam crash coursed it. I've been pretty busy at work but when I get time I plan to take a class on it. I'm proud that I got four motors to work independently forward reverse and brakes on one joystick with very little coding skills.
@@MrTomstock okay I will try to pop a video up in the next couple days that will display the code. Work's been busy so I haven't posted as much lately but I've been recording a lot more video so more cool content will be coming
The code is very long. And also the code is running on two Arduino simultaneously. The first Arduino being the remote and the second Arduino the lawn mower. I would love to share it. It's way too long to fit in the description. I'd be glad to email it to you. My email is danbuckman20@gmail.com

which escs you are using? looks good.
Pretty bad ass to see your whole process dude. Very awesome
Great video Dan I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
I’d totally buy one off of you 😮
nice project, would love to see the code for the arduino and those brushless ESC to controll in in bidirectional mode! :)
I should make a video better explaining all that. I'm not really good at writing code but I did write all the code for this and many other projects.

Thanks for the comment. The sensitivity of the sticks can be turned in the Arduino code.

@@danielbuckman2727 Great!
My front yard is immaculate, my backyard looks like yours…. I ma also into electronics and Frankensteinint things.
Such a cool project. How you implemented to use gamepad instead of the radio remote? :) Thanks so much!
I have a short video on the remote. Thanks 👍
Are you running saber motor drivers? How are they working without hall sensors?
They have hall sensors. I'm using 4 brushless motor drivers with Hall sensor. The Arduino is creating digital and analog signals to control the motor controllers.
Nice work! What motor controller's are you using by the way?
RioRand 400W 6-60V PWM DC Brushless Electric Motor Speed Controller with Hall

Are you trying to build what I built or something a little bit different? I'll give you my code it's just a bit buggy.
@@danielbuckman2727 Great build. I would love to have a look at your code. I an building one similar. thanks

Would you mind sharing your code? I fried a few I'd those escs and would like to get back to the project.

@@danielbuckman2727 I sent you an email. I appreciate your time.
Puts a little spikes in the tires new aerate your lawn at the same time as getting more grip
That's a good idea I like.
