Hello,
TL;DR: Does ACRO work only off of the onboard sensors, or does it require a GPS as well?
I am using an RC mower to mow a very steep embankment on my property. This pic shows the least incline; the worst is close to 40°. The mower does quite well, but I have to crab walk it to mow a straight line, and it requires a LOT of stick inputs.
All of the videos I’ve seen of people mowing in AUTO mode are on flat ground, and I am hesitant to buy a new autopilot and RTK setup, because I doubt that Rover is going to be able to keep a straight line, and I could buy a different piece of equipment with the $1200.
I’ve read over the different modes and am wondering if ACRO will compensate for the steep slope and keep the mower on a straight path. If it doesn’t use GPS, but the onboard sensors for corrections, I could use the Pixhawk in a bare-bones manner, like a gyro on a drift car or on an RC heli to keep the tail straight.
