The RoπLawnMow Project is based on a Raspberry Pi. The intention is to replace e.g. defect electronic of an existing LawnMower
and use most of the components for further operation. A lot of information you will find in in the
https://www.diy-robot-lawn-mower.com/threads/roplawnmow.96/ Forum
In order to achieve quick success, I use the PiMowBot IT SW http://pimowbot.tgd-consulting.de/ in this project.
The SW can be obtained from TGD-Consulting http://www.tgd-consulting.de/Impressum.html.
In this first step I will control the brushless motors. To do this, the characteristics of the motors must be found. This can be done either with study of a data sheet or by using the MotorCal.py script. Are the motor parameters fixed, the first test drives can be done. For this I use the BLE Remote Control. The project is described here

In this phase of the project it makes sense to know how much voltage the battery has and how much current the motors needs. If you start the Ropi_INA3221.py Script,
you can see the result on the screen, or store the data for later anlysis. Also an file interface to the PiMowBotIT-SW is implemented The Ropi_INA3221.py is based on this example:
