This repo holds the results of my tinkering with the Robomow RS615u BLE interface, it should work across other bluetooth enabled Robomow machines.

Another way to find mainboard serial... #2

Closed mattncsu closed 5 years ago

mattncsu commented 5 years ago

If you want to get your mainboard serial without having to put in your pw on an unsecured site, you can also load the https://myrobomow.robomow.com/ page with browser debugging on (F12 in Firefox). After logging in, look at the json response to https://myrobomow.robomow.com/api/customer/products: screenshot I've been thinking about embedding an ESP32 (a wifi/BLE enabled microcontroller) in the robomow to enable robot control when outside of BLE range) This will give me a good starting point if I ever get around to it.

@mattncsu Nice thanks. Please note that I am already busy with implementing for ESP32 (using TTGO T-beam board, which includes GPS and Lorawan). I will publish code to github as soon as at least the basics are functional. (Hopefully in the course of this week.)

mattncsu commented 5 years ago

That's great! I started with a gps tracker program (https://github.com/mattncsu/ESP32_GPS_Tracker_GSM) and was planning to implement further control over the winter. Hadn't decided whether to use the BT on the ESP32 or tap the serial line directly.

arjanmels commented 5 years ago

I am using the BT. Pro is less connections needed, con is it blocks the app

mattncsu commented 5 years ago

I recall seeing an option for service mode or something like to that effect that would allow the robot to pair with any or maybe multiple devices. Might be an option.

Edit: Source See page 2-28:

Activate the bluetooth command that enters the RBLE into service mode, which means that RBLE will communicate with any mobile device in the area, and not only the one that was robot’s owner mobile device

Great find, I'll update the README.

arjanmels commented 5 years ago

@drbytes and @mattncsu Unfortunate;y, I did not yet manage to create a version that is ready to put on github. I will not be able to work on it the next couple of weeks due to holidays.

I do have the communication with the mower working and have started to decipher the protocol (using the original apk's).

drbytes commented 5 years ago

What are you deciphering?

mattncsu commented 5 years ago

Have either of you guys been able to get the bluetooth toolkit working so that (presumably) you could talk to the RM using a PC without having to physically plug in?

drbytes commented 5 years ago

I haven't tried tbh. I would also need a dongle with BLE capabilities.. I have a Surface GO, I see it should be possible. Will try this weekend

arjanmels commented 5 years ago

@drbytes Reading of status and status messages and enabling/disabling of schedule (actually my main purpose, so i can suspend operation in wet conditions )

@mattncu which toolkit?

drbytes commented 5 years ago

They have a toolkit, a click once .net app. Dont have the url handy on my phone but I've used it to connect with the mower using a serial connection

drbytes commented 5 years ago

Closing this, it's referenced in the readme
