Feature Request Updates: What’s Gaining the Most Attention!

Yeah this doesn’t look like a new issue but one that’s been there since 3.8.X was introduced. There is definitely a bug with the IMU and with path planning that they are working on. This looks like it was free falling down the slope and trying to keep it straight but not succeeding very well. I am hopeful that this and other issues that popped up in 3.8.X will be fixed in the next few weeks with the new release.

In fairness to them and what they’ve been working on… I could do a whole list of why things are still a work in progress, but the reality is that they are a small company with limited resources and a huge lofty goal. They don’t have the luxury of solely focusing on a mower like the other companies do. They have 4 other modules and a trimmer to work on. Resources are prioritized on whatever the current season is. At least that’s the way it seems. I give them props for completely redesigning the kick starter product in less than a year to fix the problems identified with that campaign and then supporting the old one still while simultaenously providing a fix for that one as well. Most kick starter campaigns would just have moved on and not supported the earlier product.

I think that’s the one thing they prove time and time again is that they will make it right and continue to support their products and customers as best they can. I am hopeful that the series B funding they secured will help them get more resources to fix some of the problems a lot quicker and move things forward with the future potential this thing has yet to fully unlock.

If you want to test, have you applied to the PPP program?

Thank you for your feedback!

Both of these issues have already been reported to our product team, and they are actively working on improvements.

For rear camera obstacle avoidance, we’re about to begin a month-long testing phase. Based on the results, further optimization will be done to reduce false detections. As this feature is still under development, it will take a bit more time before it’s ready for release.

Regarding the rain sensor, I’ve just checked with the product team — they are currently evaluating solutions to address the issue.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to improve the system!

Agree; broken antenna mount on initial day of mowing. (Still don’t understand why the tall mounts were shipped with the mowing package.)

Just part of the accessories package. User preference. I personally prefer the tall,but for mowing I’m definitely using the low mounts. Both are in the box. If you don’t have low hanging stuff to worry about, low is not necessary. High if the extension breaks and the antenna is ok, you just swap to low. If the low breaks, most likely the antenna did too and the cable. There’s a redesigned low mount that has a barrel connector embedded in it. This should make replacing those and swapping them easier. No more tiny screws!

Is this available to order yet? I checked their products page and I didn’t see it. I was going to try to design a quick connect adapter for this but if they already addressed the issue I won’t bother.

Not yet. Not sure why one could not order the low mounts, but maybe this is why. Hopefully they add them soon. Maybe @Yarbo-Forum can provide some insight.

Sorry I wasn’t clear, the low mounts are available to order. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant. My low mount does have a barrel connector in it. I thought you were referring to the mount that connects to the base unit where you have to install those two tiny little screws to hold the cable and then the low mount gets screwed onto that. That is what I would like redesigned.

I edited my post to make it a little more clear I was referring to anyone in general. I was in fact referring to the plastic mount that attaches directly to the core and not the RTK antenna.

You don’t need to install those screws BTW. Just use the plastic insert to hold the connector and install the mount on top. The redesign completely eliminates that insert and you just screw the cores cable onto the embedded barrel, mount the mount, and thread on the antenna by hand
