We’re excited to announce the release of our latest update: Firmware 3.9.10 and App Version 3.15.3.
To ensure a smooth and stable rollout, the firmware update will be deployed in four batches starting June 17, 2025, at 10:00 PM EST, and is expected to be fully completed within the following week.
Please note:
If your firmware has not been updated to 3.9.1 by the end of next week, please contact us at support@yarbo.com.
New app features will only be functional once the firmware update is completed on your unit.
How to Update
Make sure your Yarbo is powered on and connected to the internet. The update will install automatically.
The firmware update requires the latest app version, so please ensure both the firmware and app are up-to-date before using.
We truly appreciate your continued support and patience as we work to bring you the best possible experience. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out!
I can see already a massive improvement on Yarbo “traveling” to designated start point. Before it was almost always “crashing” into the no-go zones, or even its own boundary, as the route was obviously too close. But now it actually seems smart, knowing where it is on the map, resulting in much faster and smoother traveling.
Unfortunately, I can see on the preview, that it will still cross the fine pattern, so a bit bummed by that. Why not fix some of the main complaints and make the mower work perfectly. I read a lot of features for the blower - I dont have it, and I think most people have the mower or the snowblower. So dont quite get the priorities here.
See here? There’s absolutely no reason at all for going across the lines. Would take 2 seconds more to just turn around and “travel” along the perimeter. Should be a quite easy fix. Just “dont cross lines” option. The people can choose.
Anyone else experiencing the version information saying “New” and then disappearing? I wish there was a way to force the update as this version is supposed to address many of the issues I have.
Great, that would have saved me a broken blade mount disc. The one inch wide path line snuck right between the non overlapping no go zones. Yarbo a bit wider than the line it draws…
I might just be unlucky but my machine has bricked twice halfway through a zone twice within a few weeks. nothing connects to it and it won’t show up on my network. Rebooted everything (data center, my network, yarbo battery) nothing will pair. Last time I used reset button and lost all my maps. Both times were proximate to firmware updates.
Maybe tighten up the protocol for auto OTA or let us chose to manually update all components. Still had to haul it to the charger before someone in China could manually push firmware.
This time it won’t connect to any network despite being next to a fully functioning AP
The firmware rolls out to not tax the servers, and in the e-mail they said it’ll be out to everyone within about a week’s time.
Per last night’s Product Pioneer discussion on Discord, you can update the App now, only there are some things that won’t work yet, like Work Plan History, which requires the firmware update to the rover (and you’ll see your history for the last month when that’s updated).
There will likely always be GPS improvements in the releases (GPS is THE core tech for this product), so it makes any release note line item about that a little pointless. I looked quick and the closest thing is a change in navigation to keep the rover away from boundaries – that’s useful, it’ll be nice to see the rover minding its business near corners and No-go Zones!
But that doesn’t mean GPS algorithms and all that weren’t tweaked to make them better. I saw a 0.7 or 0.6 HeadingDop with the rover on the Docking Station after the update, which was a bit of a wow. Did the update do it? I don’t know.
Your L2 is a little low, Satellite could be better, but Heading and HeadingDop are good, so why doesn’t it flip AdjustAngle to 0? THAT I don’t know. It’s probably because it senses decimeter-level accuracy, which is Status 5. So my guess is rover + Data Center aren’t happy with each other, and each want some more accurate GPS info and shared Satellites.
When I’ve had AdjustAngle -2, it was accompanied by Data Latency creeping up. This was ultimately a network issue with my WiFi Extender, which was where I wound up fixing my configuration. What is Data Latency doing, @steve?
Is anyone seeing Yarbo slow WAY down during mowing after the update? It’s in a wide open space. No tall grass. No obstructions. On a strip, it will start at normal speed, then slow to almost a stop in the middle then pick up speed again. It happens on every pass. Thoughts? No error messages and it’s cutting fine just taking forever.
YES, @Carol! Saw it going really slowly down a very slight slope once or twice, then a time or two in other spots. I thought there was something wrong mechanically, but, nope, it picked back up coming back.
I think I saw this, @steve. One of my bad GPS Areas, typical behavior of the rover going yellow then red maybe 4 times or so while mowing. I was watching the Diagnostics, and, sure, I’d see HeadingDop in the 100-200 range (sometimes higher), and it’d come down <100, then I’d see Heading 1 and HeadingDop like 0.2 (!!), Status would stay 5 and AdjustAngle -1 or -2. Status and AdjustAngle simply wouldn’t flip – once it finally did after a while, but I usually had to move the rover to let GPS recover, and one time it had a miserable time doing even that!
I’ve had to move the rover to recover GPS in past mows, so that’s nothing new. What smells kinda new is Status staying 5 and AdjustAngle kinda hanging on when other GPS numbers have seemingly recovered sufficiently.
I’m not completely convinced, but I’m thinking this is different behavior from before the update. With AdjustAngle negative and Status 5, doesn’t that indicate the Data Center and rover are a bit out of synch, maybe not seeing the same satellites? But why does this seem to be the behavior “now” and not before?
I don’t have anything to back this up, though. Of course.
