Question Sir, I am a disabled old man, I WANT to take the smallest SEARS push mower and put a JETSON nano on it. Cameras, object ID, rear push wheels free moving front wheels. Load all software, hardware, wiring, etc. then (1st remote control cut front yard while it records video from all needed cameras). Once yard is cut, go through video and make sure JETSON recognizes all objects, learns exact path/pattern/route. Then hopefully it should follow original movement pattern/path, identify all obstacles, (notify me on new obstacles) but go around them close but safely. Is that logical in how I accomplish a fully ai automatic mowing of my lawn? Side yard - use 2nd MICROSDXC (or drive to store mapping data. Then same for rear yard. I have no idea how much data space needed for each section of yard much less entire yard! If I mow neighbor’s yard, I just load mapping source of her yard. (Different storage for different yards to cut.) That way I help elderly, and I make a little money THOUGH DISABLED as I cannot push a mower. I will hopefully have a BRAND ELECTRIC ZERO TURN MOWER COMPANY sponsor a big mower after showing small mower working. My yard is almost 2 acres. Small push mower will take forever… but that’s ok if automated! But with big mower I can help elderly with their yards for free even. Will you volunteer with guidance? I’m not a programmer but love to work with tech WITH DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS. (BRAIN INJURY) PART IF DISABILITY. PLEASE REPLY! ALTON

this is amazing! more about Jetson and pixhawk 4!

[@troyrobinson8343]

This was so freaking helpful, thank you.

[@Nun3zDanny3]

You simplified the thing that nobody else could… This should help me in my 6 wheeled mars rover inspired “earth rover” that actually goes past 1 mph. And water

[@lundebc]

Fantastic, this will help me navigate the automation of my (current r/c) mower

[@thedronedojo]

That's awesome! Keep me posted on that for sure!

[@lundebc]

@@thedronedojo I will do so. I have been trying to read everything in the ArduRover documents, but this give me a real leg-up starting point, and I just got the Jetson Nano, so I just need to buy the pixhawk and such to get started.

[@thedronedojo]

@@lundebc Nice! Yeah the documentation is great but can be kind of like reading a dictionary to learn English. I hope this video helps you!

[@levi_lcl]

@@lundebcGood idea I'm doing the same thing! Are you using a Sabertooth 2x32 to connect to your powerchair motors?

[@jackmcnulty2858]

I am trying to make one with bendyruler and TG30 Lidar. I am not totally clear on how this all goes together. I can say that had I known about your kit I would have bought it. It has all the details of how to build it. And missing just one can be a nightmare. And it is easy to miss. Also the cost is extremely reasonable. Much less than I paid for equivalent components. Really nicely done rover. I wish I started with your kit. I am an ME but by no means an expert in this area. Thank you for the video. Jack

[@joshmellon390]

Holy shit the lawn mower... as I was thinking it in my head you introduced it haha

[@CncObsession]

Nice video. I enjoyed the modes and route planning in MP. I have a cube orange/rover that I am learning to grasp this stuff on.

[@vonclausewitz8558]

Thank you for the awesome project! Cant wait to build for my own! Are LiPo batteries a must? Can That power module and Pixhawk be powered by 12V lead acid battery? I heard LiPos are pretty dangerous and requires lots of care. Same goes for the ESC, do we need to use a LiPo again?

[@leonardchijioke392]

Hello @The Drone Dojo! I am using the FPV Radio Telemetry to connect the mission planner to my CubePilot. I recently downloaded mission planner on my laptop and I had connected the ground module of the radio to my laptop with the air module connected to the CubePilot. I set my baud rate to 57600 and my com port is COM 10 as detected when connected (and as seen on the device manager). When I hit on the connect button in mission planner, it tries connecting for 30 secs and then shows an error message which says, "No Heartbeat Packets Received". Is there a specific thing I have to set before then connecting? I would appreciate your help. Thank you in anticipation of your response.

Could you use a drone flight controller instead of a pixhawk? I have a kakute h7 in mind

[@lindalaymian4608]

Hello dear friend and thanks for sharing the data I have an rc car wich is powered by a hobeywing max 8 speed controller and I have augmented it with a pixhawk the issue which i am encountered with is that I dont know how to callibrate my speed controller and set it up for reverse movement. do you have any idea how I can do it?

[@uaprende3314]

Increible

[@ahmetklcc13]

we are trying to build a car using the piwhawk cube. We are using hobbywing eagle 20a brushed esc, but we cannot calibrate the esc. Can you help us if you know how we can do the calibration?

[@sawthomassawthomas0507]

How about the calibration of esc ?

[@NisseOhlsen]

Nice. Why did you choose the Jetson Nano over the Pi with an Intel NCS2 ?

[@swarnamohanchandrakanth5243]

Thank you sir

[@thedronedojo]

No problem!

[@lundebc]

What was the device you used to convert the power to go to the jetson, I thought you said “udec “ but can’t find that.

[@thedronedojo]

Good question! Its a UBEC, 5V 3A. Then you'll have to solder on a USB C connector for the 2GB Jetson Nano

[@lundebc]

@@thedronedojo Thanks. I am assembling the hardware like you demonstrated to attach to the R/c mower. Need UPS to show up to have everything needed, including the UBEC! Reading through the materials to learn how I adapt this to my tank style steering. Progress!

[@JannCristobal]

where can you buy that ftdi cable that can connect to the flight controller?

[@LuisArtMaker]

my rover kit came with raspberry controller and a different 6 channel receiver and missing 4 screw to secure servo. any suggestions. thanks. luis

[@alainachkar3560]

Fantastic project! Thanks a lot for the detailed video. How much weight can this rover carry or pull behind it?

[@FourthWayRanch]

there's an arduino hack to convert pwm to sbus so you can use a regular surface controller. i'm having trouble with autopilot refusing command when i test the motors

[@archerhasbany1109]

Awesome! I am doing something similar with a Jetson nano and Pixhawk orange cube. Based on some forums I read, I am planning on using a FTDI adapter to connect the two. This tutorial has been so helpful!!

[@bariszerk]

Hello, I am trying same thing on my Jetson nano and orange cube. Can you explain to me how to connect these two?

[@archerhasbany1109]

​@@bariszerk Hi! To get ours working, we did end up having to use an FTDI adapter. It was the exact same process that he shows in this video to connect the two, but with an ftdi into one of the usb ports on the jetson. We used MavROS instead of drone kit to send messages between the two.

[@alexandonov8253]

Are there any problems powering the servo from the AUX 1 output port? I am building something similar and am hearing things about the servo needing external power and that a pixhawk couldnt supply enough power to a servo.

[@khushi3156]

Can I get a link for the original drone control instead of rover it will be helpful. Thanks.

[@dominikwurmitzer2446]

Do you use anything extra? I use the WiFi-Module myself and the connectivity is very bad. I cannot upload the mission to the controller.

[@ToTheMaxWorld]

my MAC running Big Sur is not working with flashing firmware on pixhawk in mission planner. It will connect to the pixhawk but I can't get the firmware to come up to flash it

[@bluelyful]

I don't have a 6 pin df13 cable to connect pixhawk and rpi.. Can pixhawk and rpi be connected via USB cable instead?

[@thedronedojo]

Yep, they certainly can! I believe on the Pi the device is called /dev/ttyACM0 Not sure what it would be called on the Jetson Nano.

[@peterchrien]

Would you recommend Jetson nano for a remote controlled rover via internet? Self driving would be just ON/OFF option. Or Raspberry Pi?

[@firenado4295]

if you just want to drive it from the internet and nothing autonomous then a pi would be better cuz its way cheaper since it doesn't have the hardware accelerator for ai on it. heck you could even use an esp32 instead theres a model that comes with a camera on and wifi board and its just like programming an arduino but with more features

[@DieselBoulder]

This is amazing!

[@thercrv8202]

Hey Caleb, I'm seeing the Nano Dev kit weighing in from about $425 to $900, both prices seem rather extreme. Did you pay that much? Given the Pi went from the $40 to $80 range all the way up to around $200 in just the last year, did the Jetson Nano do the same thing? Would it be tacky to ask where might be a good source to buy a Nano for a good price?

[@thercrv8202]

I guess that one Caleb couldn't figure out!

[@joshlikessurfing]

Nano's are crazy at the moment. Basically it is like GPU price scalping at 5x to 10x the original cost. Nanos were as low as $99, but now really expensive. You may be better off getting something stronger like a TX2, Xavier or the newest release.

[@ant6516]

Hi, im interested to buy this kit ($899 list price from the website). Im from Indonesia & dont have credit card. Any plan to accept bank transfer for payment?

[@antwarior]

I'm gonna make one of these smart rovers and drop it in the desert with my 4ge drone n drive around n explore 🤣

[@Hazar-bt6nf]

I want to ask that depending on the project can I connect the motors to raspberry pi directly and control them? General usage of connecting motors is to connect them into pixhawk, but I need to connect them into raspberry pi. Do you think it is possible, I think it should be possible to control them ,although I connect the motors into raspberry pi, by pixhawk as the communication between raspberry pi and pixhawk bidirectional.

[@howtoearn4339]

Your Drone dilevary and precious landing course is totally outdated, now do something update. Like some actual test dilevary from a place to another place or make a proper software for that.
