Auger: RPM Efficiency Mode When Turning/Adjusting

Suggestion and Feature Requests
1

Hi Yarbo!

Please investigate and implement an “auger speed efficiency while turning” solution for the auger, where when Yarbo is turning, or turning then adjusting the module, etc, slow down the auger during this process.

There are some paths, like the one presented below, where during over half the total duration, the auger is spinning in the air at maximum power while Yarbo is changing course.

Don’t turn off the auger as the auger may have some rogue snow in it and freeing it is important, but it does not need to run at maximum RPM and drain the battery while it’s not working.

I think this would potentially use more energy continually getting back up to set speed. The pitch changes could also be a concern for some users. If they do it, would love for it to be a toggle on or off option. Battery efficiency mode.

I thought that too (specifically the pitch changes) but right now I’m listening to it run outside and I know when that thing is sticking its nose into the air - it’s whiny!

I’ll pass this to our product team.
