Rover/Mower/Drone Folks!
Because of the success last year, we are having the second Ardurover “gathering” here on the farm. All interested in autonomous Mowers/Rovers/Boats/Drones, etc. are invited. The main goals being to meet, compared ideas/best practices and share experiences with putting these autonomous contraptions together.
We will have at least 6 working mowers on hand and everyone is encouraged to bring their own. We have ~100 acres of short hay fields to play with so room to roam, fly and explore is not an issue. Will have our on-site RTK (via NTRIP) active and available for use by all.
Several folks from the Ardupilot Forums and YouTube fame will attend including Yuri Rage (Yuri’s Homebrew & DIY - YouTube ) and Kenny Trussel (Kenny Trussell - YouTube ).
Logistics:
Church Point is a small town about 20 miles NW of Lafayette, LA with no motels. However, Lafayette is a large metropolitan area about 30 minutes away with many motels and a large, full service airport served by American, Delta and United and all major rental car companies.
We have a 2400’ grass airstrip onsite (71LA) and folks are welcome to fly-in. Please call before launching to confirm expected strip conditions. Bring your own tie-downs. KOPL and KLFT are both excellent hard surface options if we get serious rain.
.
RV’s are welcome onsite but please call for details.
If attending, please contact me so we can plan accordingly!
