Abstract
A blade control assembly for a lawnmower can include a controller configured to selectively transition between a sleep mode and an operational mode. The controller can be configured to transition from the sleep mode to the operational mode when the controller receives a first ON signal. The controller can be configured to cause a power source to transition from an idle state in which a blade of the lawnmower is stopped to a driving state in which the power source rotationally drives the blade when the controller receives the first ON signal and a second ON signal. The controller can be configured to cause the power source to stop rotation of the blade and cause to power source to transition to the idle state after the second ON signal terminates, and can be configured to transition from the operational mode to the sleep mode after the second ON signal terminates.
