Proxymow is a robotic lawn mower system that uses computer vision to locate and guide the mower. This repository contains the source code for the server. The sister repository Proxymow Mower contains the source code for the mower device.
Proxymow differs from many robotic mowers:
- Does not rely on vulnerable boundary wires
- Does not use GPS or Bollards
- Does not need to be taught a route, supports plug-in mowing patterns
- Employs very low cost technology: Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU
Start with a fresh install of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit). Clone or Download the repo.
Ensure all pre-requisite software is installed...
cd proxymow-server/setup
sudo chmod +x requirements.sh
./requirements.sh
you will be prompted for your pi user password.
When script has finished (20mins?/coffee) reboot pi...
sudo reboot
Change directory to the installation directory and start server...
cd proxymow-server
python proxymow.py
Browse to displayed url.
