FRANCISCO, PAULA GABRIELLE R. and MERCADO, MARY JOICE B., Development of An Android Controlled Lawn Mower. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2016. Adviser: Engr. Edwin R. Arboleda.
The study was conducted from August 2015 to January 2016 at Tibig, Silang, Cavite and Cavity State University,Indang, Cavite to develop and evaluate an android-controlled lawn mower using Bluetooth shield and Gizduino. Specifically, it aimed to: design and construct a Gizduino based circuit for the lawn o e ; 2. develop an android application and Gizduino platform for the wireless control of the lawn mower; 3. develop the program for the android controlled lawnmower; 4. design and modify the mechanism of the lawn mower; 5. Test and evaluate the performance of the system based on speed and time it takes for the lawn mower to respond; and 6. Conduct a cost computation of the system.
An android controlled lawn mower was designed. The design included both software and hardware aspect. The main components of the mower include two microcontrollers, Gizduino AtMega 168, which serves as the brain of the receiver and transmitter of the robot. A Bluetooth module was used for the communication between the robot and the android phone, two UHF data transceivers were used to amplify the signals from 10 meters up to 65 meters. The microcontroller is responsible for the operation of the system of the robot which depends on the data that the android device will send. On the hardware aspect, two H-Bridge motor driver module for the controls of the two wiper motors of the robot was used. The wiper motors are attached to the two back wheels, so that with the use of android device the operator can control the speed of the
lawnmower and a relay switch was added to on and off the mower's blade. But the study was not able to control the height position of the blade. The project was tested and evaluated at the Cavite State University- Main campus Ladies' Dormitory field. To determine the speed of the robot, the time it takes to reach the desired destination point and the accuracy of the movement of the robot. Based on the results obtained in the evaluation, in terms of its speed the robot undergone a test drive at its maximum and minimum speed in three (3) different areas, specifically a 4x4 m, 6x6 m and 8x8 m lawn. The results showed the variation of its time consumed to finish its job of mowing. Due to uneven field surface of the area and the operator skills, the efficiency of its ground speed were highly affected. The total cost of the design project was 23,761.25.
