My Base is fixed position and rover is movable. I have connected ground pin at Base to ground pin at Rover. I have connected Tx2 at Base to Rx2 at Rover by wire. I have configured Base and Rover. But i haven’t get 3D/DGNSS/Fixed.

I had an issue regarding the same. I am using 2 ZEDF9P for getting centimeter level accuracy. The base is directly connected to the rover via UART2, as suggested in the integration manual of ublox. I have all the necessary messages enabled on the base and rover, also given in ublox datasheet. Ucenter is even showing Fixed solution, but still after mapping those coordinates, the readings are inconsistent. Both rover and base were kept 3-4m apart in static position and the base is configured in SurveyIn mode. You may ask for any necessary information you need to know. Your help would mean a lot.

Good luck Braylon 🙂

What you provided and this comment section just made life difficult for my turf tiger.

Boy am I impressed. have a Turf tiger and about 6 acres to mow. I am interested in building a n autonomous mower for my own use. I am thinking to set up linkage exactly like yours and use a GPS satellite plus RTK for control; like the Mammotion Luba 2 small mower. In fact, I am wondering why I can’t just take the electronics from a LUBA 2; just use a few channels like signals to drive the servos for the arms and add a few emergncy shutoff devices like bumpers.
I am thinking of this as an upcoming fall winter project. I need to locate a shop for the fabrication and a good controls engineer.
I am ready to pay for the project.
I am just looking for any help possible.
I have 2 scag dealers nearby. I was thinking about starting with them or do you have other ideas.
I am located at Lake Anna VA, about 25 mi west of Fredericksburg.

One thing I learned very quickly is the puny horn setscrews will come loose in a matter of minutes. I went ahead and welded the flange directly to the servo shaft. No more issues. The thing runs awesome.

Thanks Todd. yes, we’re powering off the battery. You are correct, the batteries in the docs are just there for testing.

Went thought the github info and was wondering if you are powering it off the mower battery? I saw the AAs and powerbrick, are these just for testing and setup?

Possible to post an electrical schematic?
