- Description
- A PCBA for a motor controller board used in robotic lawn mowers to control the wheel motors during cutting in a specified cutting zone. The motor controller board is made from a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes various electronic components such as microcontrollers, resistors, capacitors, and connectors. means, and some input sensors. The motor controller board is designed to specific specifications and works by receiving signals from the mower's control system and translating them into actions for the wheel motors and cutting means. It ensures the mower moves correctly, adjusts speed, and stops when necessary. The board also processes input from sensors to avoid obstacles and ensure safe operation. The assembly is encased in a protective housing and comes in an anti-static bag to protect it from electrostatic discharge during transportation. It is then placed in a protective box with cushioning materials to prevent damage.
