Yeah, you should wait until they diagnose it first.

Same thing. Nothing changed. Have a wonderful evening. Thanks again for all your help.

Did all the steps multiple times as you suggested but unfortunately no changes.
Yarbo support most likely is not working on the weekends @Yarbo-Forum ?
Today I even dismantled the core and rewired it with extra cables I have bought for the RTK and GPS antennas. Didn’t help so I did the same again and installed back the original ones.
I do also have 3 different types of GPS antennas I all changed and tested that maybe it would solve the problem. It didn’t.
With the remote control I can mow the grass and Yarbo works without any problems. Just the most important autonomous part is missing. I do luckily still have John Deere zero turn equipped with 2 meter wide cutting deck so I guess it’s time to start up the old diesel hogg. The 2 hectares of grass is not getting mowed by itself.
Support does. The forum moderator does not. Hopefully they get back to you soon. Sounds like a software issue. Document your troubleshooting in your ticket if you haven’t

Support works weekends?

I indeed have already shared all information with them.
If I drive around the yard with the mower then sometimes for couple of seconds I do have some visual to the satellites. Maximum number I have seen is 14. Just for a maximum 5-10 seconds and then again cero. Spent at least half a day troubleshooting it. I’m clearly a stubborn person.

So heard back from Support today. I guess nobody is reading our post? @Yarbo-Forum
I’ve relisted everything we’ve talked about here, and everything we’ve done as of now. Redid everything again, they’ve asked of me in this reply. Still, same issues. Battery alarm again, do to sitting out in the baking sun, for a clear 360 degree field with 28 sats.

@yarbo-forum. I know everyone’s been waiting for the update. As I have for many days now. Well seems I’ll be waiting many more now. What’s new at this point? Grass will not be growing once we get these issues worked out.
Wow, didn’t you just replace these parts on your own?

Just the HaLow cable. The RTK antenna both on the same side. Yes Sir. Well I guess I should have asked them. My left side is my drivers side. US. But you also had me swap the antennas, and they had me swap them again. The left side wasn’t damaged. But yes still right side for the replacement parts from our buddy. The ones they’re sending haven’t arrived yet.
Their left is as you face the rear of the core. The left antenna is the primary. The right is secondary and is what displays the number of L2 satellites. Swapping the two can help determine if there is an RTK antenna issue or a cable issue (or both).
Alan will get you hooked up I’m sure (if you want to go that route). At least when Yarbo’s arrive you’ll have some spares.

That was what I was thinking of doing. You read my mind. I can’t just sit still on this waiting thing. I’ve wasted 2 months now hoping for this delay thing will stop. I’ll hit him up with an order tonight. He’s on-time 100%. Very happy with delivery, shipping, he replied to me before sending. Super guy. I was hoping our left was the same I remember reading The left antenna is the primary. The right is secondary and is what displays the number of L2 satellites.

I have also lost GPS since the latest update occurred. Have you received any information to fix it yet?

[quote=“Yarbo-Forum, post:1, topic:130”]
Maintaining a stable GPS signal is essential for Yarbo to function efficiently. While Yarbo’s advanced system ensures smooth operation, several factors can affect its GPS performance. This guide covers common causes of GPS signal loss and how to troubleshoot them effectively.
GPS Icon Colors and Their Meanings
- Green Icon: GPS is online and connected – Yarbo is functioning properly.
- Yellow Icon: Medium GPS signal – Yarbo is still operational, but performance may be affected.
- Red/Gray Icon: No GPS signal – Yarbo cannot receive a GPS signal and will not operate correctly.
Common Causes and Troubleshooting Solutions
1. No Halow or 4G Connection for Data Center and Yarbo Rover
Cause: The Data Center and Yarbo rover need Halow or 4G connectivity for reliable GPS operation.
Solution:
- Check the network settings for both the Data Center and Yarbo rover.
- If the problem persists, contact Yarbo Support for further assistance.
2. Satellite Signals Blocked by Obstructions
Cause: Objects like buildings, trees, or other obstacles can block satellite signals from reaching the Data Center and Yarbo rover antennas.
Solution:
- Move the Data Center or reposition the rover to an area with a clearer view of the sky.
- Swap the antennas on the left and right sides of the Yarbo rover to optimize signal reception.
- If the issue continues, contact Yarbo Support.
3. Loose Connections at the Data Center
Cause: The connections between cables and the Data Center may not be secure.
Solution:
- Check all cables and ensure the connections to the Data Center are tight and secure.
- If the issue remains unresolved, contact Yarbo Support for further guidance.
4. Technical Issue with the Data Center
Cause: An internal issue or error may occur in the Data Center.
Solution:
- Check the indicator lights on the Data Center for any error messages.
- If the indicator is in red, try to replug POE port and contact Yarbo Support immediately for assistance.
5. Components Malfunction in the Yarbo Device
Cause: Internal components of Yarbo may not be functioning properly, disrupting GPS signals.
Solution:
- Inspect all connections and cables between Yarbo and the Data Center to ensure they are undamaged and properly connected.
- Verify that all antennas are properly installed and tightened.
- Reset Yarbo and reconfigure default settings if necessary.
- If the issue persists, contact Yarbo Support for further help.
6. Incorrect Adjust Angle on the Diagnosis Page
Cause: The diagnosis page displays an incorrect angle value (e.g., -1 or something other than 1), indicating a calibration issue.
Solution:
- Drive Yarbo to an open area for 3–5 minutes to recalibrate the system by using odometry calibration feature in Yarbo APP.
- Reset the “mode base” process through the app to ensure proper operation.
- Contact Yarbo Support if the problem remains unresolved.
Follow these steps. Put in a support ticket.
It’s interesting. If already many people have experienced GPS loss right after the last update and it seems like folks at Yarbo already know that it’s not clearly a hardware problem, then why we still get support e-mails asking us to rewire, switch antennas and make a photos that are the connection pins corroded or not…
Yesterday I have made another round of photos to them and as the response writes my case is referred to the relevant team. Let’s hope it’s not a team who want me to make more photos and it’s a team who can read and write some good code and get this thing fixed. I’m not in a hurry really as I mowed my lawn with my JD.
If we would not have that many wolves running around the idea of herding some sheep would soon maybe be atempting option. Anyone with farming knowledge: Do lamb eat snow?

This troubleshooting point nr. 6 is no longer valid. The application do not offer anymore odometry calibration unfortunately and it’s now done automatically when the core has established GPS and then able to leave by itself autonomously charging station…
Life is full of mysteries
