The enclosed electricity thieves are to divert the supply voltage from Alfred. Please press the black cable (-) to the black cable from the red connector (battery cable) and the red cable (+) to the black cable from the blue connector (on/off switch).

==Remaining ribbon cable from the control panel==

You can remove or cut off the two remaining ribbon cables on the original control panel, insulate the ends and stow them in the housing.

Bumper sensor

2021-12-29T22:30:26Z

BenPan: /* Schematics */

=Abstract=

[[File: Ardumower_BumperDuino.jpg | 400px]]

Ardumower's bumper sensor (called 'BumperDuino') is based on a pressure sensor and helps us to detect obstacles.

The PCB module and sensor can be purchased as complete kit via the [https://www.marotronics.de/Bumper-Duino-Dual-Drucksensor-Board-zB-fuer-Arduino-Raspberry-pi shop] [[File: shopping.png|link=https://www.marotronics.de/Bumper-Duino-Dual-Drucksensor-Board-zB-fuer-Arduino-Raspberry-pi]] .

=Building instructions=
Building instructions as well as instructions for programming the Arduino can be found in the [http://www.marotronics.de/mediafiles/Sonstiges/Workshop%20BumperDuino_2015_11_15.pdf BumperDuino manual].

#[https://github.com/Ardumower/ardumower/blob/master/pcb/Produzierte_Platinen/BumperDuino%20PCB/BumperDuinoSCH.pdf Schematics]

=Code=
You can download the Arduino Code [https://github.com/Ardumower/ardumower/blob/master/code/BumperDuino/ here]. Important: Choose 'Arduino Uno' as bootloader.

To upload the code, set jumper to 'VUSB' and connect an USB-TTL adapter to J4 (USB-LIGHT) as follows:

J4 (USB-LIGHT)
1 -- USB-TTL GND
2 -- not used
3 -- USB-TTL +5V
4 -- USB-TTL TX
5 -- USB-TTL RX
6 -- USB-TTL DTR (reset)

All steps are described in more detail here: [https://github.com/Ardumower/ardumower/blob/master/Dokumentation/BumperDuino/Workshop%20BumperDuino.pdf FT232RL USB-adapter manual].

=Connecting to Ardumower=

Set jumper to 'VIN', and connect VIN and BUMPER-OC to Ardumower as follows:
BumperDuino VIN + -- PCB1.3 +9V
BumperDuino VIN - -- PCB1.3 P11 GND (2)
BumperDuino OC DC1 -- PCB1.3 P11 pinBumperRight (3)
BumperDuino OC DC2 -- PCB1.3 P11 pinBumperLeft (4)

=Code=
You can download the Arduino Code [https://github.com/Ardumower/ardumower/blob/master/code/BumperDuino/ here]. Important: Choose 'Arduino Uno' as bootloader.

To upload the code, set jumper to 'VUSB' and connect an USB-TTL adapter to J4 (USB-LIGHT) as follows:

J4 (USB-LIGHT)
1 -- USB-TTL GND
2 -- not used
3 -- USB-TTL +5V
4 -- USB-TTL TX
5 -- USB-TTL RX
6 -- USB-TTL DTR (reset)

All steps are described in more detail here: [https://github.com/Ardumower/ardumower/blob/master/Dokumentation/BumperDuino/Workshop%20BumperDuino.pdf FT232RL USB-adapter manual].

=Connecting to Ardumower=

Set jumper to 'VIN', and connect VIN and BUMPER-OC to Ardumower as follows:
BumperDuino VIN + -- PCB1.3 +9V
BumperDuino VIN - -- PCB1.3 P11 GND (2)
BumperDuino OC DC1 -- PCB1.3 P11 pinBumperRight (3)
BumperDuino OC DC2 -- PCB1.3 P11 pinBumperLeft (4)

BenPan:

Dieser Artikel enthält teilweise veraltete Informationen. Aktuelle Informationen zum Laden mit GPS-RTK via Sunray sind im Runray-Artikel sowie im Artikel zur Ladestation zu finden. 

Hier siehst Du wie der Ardumower-Akku geladen wird. Falls Du keine Ladestation verwenden möchtest (oder für Deine ersten Versuche) kannst Du das Ladegerät direkt an den Ardumower anschliessen.

[[File: Ardumower_battery_overview.jpg|800px]]

=Ladegerät=

wir benutzen ein Lithium Ion e-bike Ladegerät (29.4V, 1.5A Ladestrom-Begrenzung) das über den Marotronics-Shop [https://www.marotronics.de/Ladegeraete-fuer-den-Ardumower-Akkus-24V-mit-Status-LED-auch-fuer-Pedelec-Akkus shop] [[File: shopping.png|link=https://www.marotronics.de/Ladegeraete-fuer-den-Ardumower-Akkus-24V-mit-Status-LED-auch-fuer-Pedelec-Akkus]] bezogen werden kann . Das Ladegerät wird in einem geschützten Bereich untergebracht (z.B. im Haus) und mit der Ladestation verbunden. Das Ladegerät sollte folgendes leisten( hier für Lithium-Ionen-Zellen, bei Bleiakkus ist es ähnlich aber weniger kritisch):

* Laden des Akkupacks über dei Ladeanschlüsse des Roboters
* Einhaltung der maximalen Ladespannung (Ladeschluss-Spannung)
* Einhaltung dess maximalen Ladestroms (Ladestrom-Begrenzung)

Wenn du ein vorhandenes Ladegerät benutzt, sind diese Anforderungen mit höchstwahrscheinlich erfüllt.

=Leistungsbilanz=
* 2 x Getriebemotor jeder 1A (unter Last): 2A, 27V (gemessen mit max. 80% Genauigkeit des Motortreibers)
* 1 x Mähmotor 1A (unter normaler Last): 1A, 27V (gemessen mit max. 80% Genauigkeit des Motortreibers)
* Board: 1A, 5 Volt (nicht gemessen)

Insgesamt: 3A * 27V + 1A * 5V = 81W + 5W = 86W

=Akku=

[[File: Ardumower_battery_pack.jpg | Sony Konion 7S2P battery pack (29.4V, 4500 mAh)|400px]]

Als Akku wird ein 'Sony Konion 7S2P' Lithium Ion Akkupack ([http://www.repasebaterii.cz/files/img/datasheet/us18650v3.pdf Sony Konion US18650V3 2250 mAh cells, Li-Mn]), 29.4V x 4500 mAh = 132 Wh, 500 Ladezyklen, 126 x 36 x 65 mm (LBH) verwendet.

Die Mähzeit beträg mit den Ardumower-Motoren ungefähr 1,5 Stunden (132 Wh / 86W).

Akku Lade-/Entladebedingungen für optimale Lebensdauer:

* Ladeschlussspannung pro Zelle: max 4.15V ( 0.3A - 0.1A Rest-Ladestrom)
* minimale Entladespannung: min 3.1V

=Standby-Aus/ Unterspannungsschutz=
Der Ardumower kann um einem Unterspannungsschutz erweitert werden. Es gibt zwei Gründe für einen Batterie-Schalter (standby-off mechanism):

1. Grund: Wenn der Roboter nicht innerhalb von 5 min startet,sollte der Akku abgeschaltet werden, um Strom zu sparen.

2. Grund: Moderne Akkus sollten nicht komplett entladen werden. Wenn der Roboter aus irgend einem Grund nicht aufgeladen werden kann und die Akkuspannung unter einen bestimmten Grenzwert fällt, sollte er in der Lage sein, sich selbst abzuschalten (Unterspannungsschutz)

</gallery>

[https://github.com/Ardumower/ardumower/tree/master/pcb/Produzierte_Platinen/Unterspannungsabschaltung_V1.0_geschlossen schematics]

=Laden des Roboters=

Im Roboter wird die Akkuspannung überwacht (siehe Schema unten). Dadurch kann festgestellt werden, wann der Roboter zur Ladestation fahren muss. Der Roboter, die Ladespannung und der der Ladestrom werden gesteuert. Dadurch kann entschieden werden, ob der Roboter die Ladestation erreicht hat und wann der akku voll geladen ist.

Über die App pfodApp (Android) kann der Ladevorgang überwacht werden.

File: Ardumower_charging_timeout.png | Laden mit Zeitbegrenzung
</gallery>

=Ladestation=
Der Roboter findet seine Ladestation, wo er wieder aufgeladen wird mit Hilfe der Perimeter-Schleife. Er fährt also solange in Uhrzeiger-Richtung an der Schleife entlang bis er eine Ladespannung an den Ladeanschlüssen feststellt. Hier stoppt der Roboter und lädt seinen Akku wieder auf. Über den Ladestrom/Standby-Strom erkennt der Schleifensender dass der Roboter in der Station steht und kann dann den Schleifensender abschalten.

Hier siehst Du wie der Ardumower mit einer Ladestation geladen wird:
