My Yarbo has been sitting in the garage waiting for new snow. When I put away the DC and Yarbo, everything was functioning well. I have now installed the DC on the roof. Since the DC has changed position by about 30 feet (10 horizontal 30 up), I needed to reinitialize. It told me so by red rapid blinking. I have connected to the DC via bluetooth and moved the Yarbo out onto the driveway. I can now access the reinitialize button. The signal strength graphic seems to be just an animation and 0 satellites are detected after about an hour. I am reasonably certain that the RTK antenna is OK on the DC. It is a 20 foot ladder climb to the DC, so I want to be certain that I have tried other things first. ---

Go into diagnostics screen. Tap the yellow “details” under the RTK section of the diags and post a pic of the scatterplot or whatever screen shows up when you connect to the DC. It would also be helpful if you can post screenshots of the diagnostics page too. RTK, status, data center, and HaLow sections. ---

Might be something you already checked, but I know some DC’s did have a firmware update this summer, just be sure you are on the newest firmware. ---

The rover is off here. No satellites found on the DC, 24 on the rover. ![Screenshot_20261010_1833251](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/c/ca74407319016b485ab69bc3f7204e6293c362f1.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261010_1834371](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/9/99e11924161433546a8a65299f5545acbb988fca.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261010_1834201](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/5/5f967ab5d1e93aae02b40a4c3b9e42b987a4354f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261010_1834061](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/1/14b72c597fc4f1a233d92a8aa2c83ff23fd99779.jpeg) ---

That’s the current issue. If the core is offline, it needs to be on to initialize your DC. Your DC firmware seems older too. I’m betting that could be potentially related to what is going on. Were you able to tap the yellow details under RTK and put the DC in survey mode? Can you grab a screenshot of that (when the core is powered on out in the open)? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/2/2aa2446b00342d3af16545e25d25a40f4c85021d.png) ---
