Description
The Loop Receiver Board is used in robotic lawn mowers to receive signals from the boundary wire that defines the mowing area. This ensures that the mower stays within the designated boundaries and does not stray into unwanted areas. The Loop Receiver Board is made from a combination of materials, including: • Printed Circuit Board (PCB): Typically made from fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate material. • Electronic Components: Such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, microprocessors, and connectors. The Loop Receiver Board works by receiving signals from the boundary wire that is laid around the perimeter of the mowing area. These signals are processed by the board and used by the mower's control system to determine its position relative to the boundary. This ensures that the mower stays within the designated area and avoids obstacles. The Loop Receiver Board is typically packaged in anti-static bags to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. The anti-static bags are then placed in protective boxes with necessary labels that include product information and handling instructions.
