We'll get it right the second time. Or at least the third for sure.
We’ve run a Husqvarna 450x on a steep lawn using stock firmware since 2017. The experience has been a mix of enormous wins and terrible failures.

I keep blowing up servo amps that I buy. Need one that I can fix when it breaks, and ideally just doesn’t break. Should work as a DC motor controller too. https://github.com/AmericanRework/Pico-2x-BLDC Two of these are just about passing two months of continuous operation on an automower!
