There are 2 possibilities that would be nice if when an error occurs during a mowing session. Save some sort of tag at the location that the error occurs, so that when the rover returns to the dock after long enough inactivity you can return to the “scene of the crime” to see if anything needs to be adjusted. I.e. a blades blocked or cutting motor block message you can then walk to the location the error occured and find a rock, stick, kids toy😅, etc and remove it from the mowing area And/or add an option to not go back to the dock until the battery reaches the programmed recharge threshold.

Oh, guess my search fu was weak…similar to: [image] Improve blocked motor error handling Suggestion and Feature Requests When a blocked motor/disc error is encountered, Yarbo immediately begins an auto recharge procedure and heads back to dock. This is not a preferred behavior. I suggest to make a configuration option set allowing the user to decide how yarbo behaves on disc and motor blockage errors: Return to dock pause in place to wait for user inspection Back up 3 feet and re-engage motor to see if the blockage clears. In all cases, the “clear error” button should clear. This is not the current function.…

Hi there, Thank you for sharing these thoughtful ideas! Both suggestions — marking the error location and adjusting the return-to-dock behavior — sound quite interesting and could be useful in some cases. We’ll keep your feedback in mind and continue to observe how much interest there is from other users regarding these features. Your input is always valuable and helps guide our future improvements.

Also - when this happens if i’m not mistaken, the progress is dropped and even if i clean up the blocked motor at docking station I can’t say Yarbo to continue the operation from where it left off, right? It should be that Yarbo continues from the point it failed.

If you stop the job it will lose the progress. But if you reboot with it paused it should keep the progress. You can always make note of the current percentage and move it to that when starting to plan again if it does lose the current job.

I have a habit of taking a screenshot before I do anything. :wink:

Yeah,of course, but why bother if that can be achieved with new lines of code in app.

Maybe that’s indirectly fixed in the new update!? [image]

Will this be backwards compatible with work plans ran before the update or only plans after the update? Will there be an option to go back a certain amount before the plan was cancelled? Thinking small spots might get missed if the plan ends early for certain types of errors.

@rcguymike This update applies to all work plans. After the update, if your next scheduled task uses the same work plan, Yarbo will automatically continue mowing the unfinished areas. However, if you run a different work plan in between, Yarbo will treat it as a new task and will start from the beginning when you return to the previous plan. In short, Yarbo keeps progress only for consecutive runs of the same work plan. Hope this helps clarify things!
