I just got a towable sprayer for my Yarbo to pull around while I spray my fence lines. However it assumes that my tow vehicle has a 12 volt power source available. I know that the on board battery isn’t 12v but has there been any discussion of having a 12v power port for standard 3rd party accessories? Maybe some adapter that plugs into one of the ports on the core?
This is coming with CoreBridge and Open Platform next year. No current way to support this as of yet.
Thanks (again) !
Until we can tap into Yarbo’s onboard power, you can do what I did - buy a small 12v LiFePO4 battery from Amazon and strap it to the top of the sprayer.
You don’t need anything huge or crazy. Depending on the size of your property, an 8-12Ah battery would probably be fine.
Thanks rgloveri, that’s exactly what my intention is. It was actually an afterthought to be able to plug into the Yarbo battery.
Is there any way to force it to stay on Bluetooth? Because of all of my connection problems I get about 10 or 15 seconds of spraying and then I have to stand there in the hot sun for three or four minutes until it finally reconnects to halo. Only after it fails halo will it sometimes fall back to 4G and only then for a few brief seconds can I actually do something when it reconnected the Bluetooth
Sorry, no real way to keep it on bluetooth only.
Thanks B-Mod
Are you running Tow Mode? Or just manually driving it around?
How poor is your HaLow signal that it’s failing over to 4G? Are you far from the DC when it’s doing this? If the core is switching paths, this would explain the drop outs. But it could also be your phone. I disable bluetooth and wifi on my phone when I’m out in the yard working with the core. I have a far more stable connection over cellular than with anything else.
Attempting to manually drive it or using follow me. But both stop frequently due to signal loss.
I’ll try to check the halo signal strength tomorrow when I’m using it. Sometimes halo will stay connected for several minutes. The problems can occur in direct line of sight only 40 or 50 feet away but then Work just fine for several minutes at over 100 yards.
I’ve tried using just cellular on my phone as well as Wi-Fi. The only time things work really well is when the core is on 4G or Bluetooth connection then it doesn’t seem to matter what my phone is set to. It’s halo that’s the problem and at the core seems to have that as it’s first priority and won’t fail over to the more reliable alternatives quickly enough so I have to stand around and wait
As I’m typing this, my core is out mowing somewhere, but I don’t know exactly where because it won’t connect. Eventually it’ll connect via 4G and give me a location.
-85 is pretty poor you might have a bad antenna or connection
If you can get the core directly under the DC, hopefully the signal wants to be in the -30s.
If worse than that, check the core antenna. Remove the rubber washer from under it, make it tight without shredding the threads, and recheck to see if that improves anything. For me, it came down to a thou of pin depth, went from -50s under the DC to -35.
First thing I would check is ensuring the antennas on both the Core and the DC are fully tightened. It definitely seems as though you have a signal strength problem.
Please let us know what you find out. Hopefully this will be a nice simple fix.
How far away was the core at the -85 signal?
When this is happening, is the core in a valley or hill that the earth might be blocking the signal from the DC?
