GPS Clear Sky.

I am having a major issues with GPS and the Yarbo just losing GPS and stopping for moments or even just stopping.

Below is a picture of where it decided to stop.

Here is a screen shot of the app and the information from the data center.





And where the Yabro lost GPS in these pictures it basically has a line of sight to the datacenter.

At this point the Yarbo seem useless. The datacenter is on the side of the house about 30 feet in the air with 180 deg clear sky view. I can’t even get it cut the yard without babysitting it.

I am having the same issues with the GetAngleError. My understanding is that it is an IMU error and I know there are some IMU specific fixes being addressed in the next release. I am hoping this is one of them. What I have found is that if it doesn’t recover on it’s own after about 30 mins sitting idle, then reboot and drive it out further into the open (it seems a little close to the house there) and then it will usually recover “GPS” and you can resume. Sometimes driving it out a bit also works.

I have the same problem. I think it even got a little worse after the last hotfix, it actually happened during a video call with yarbo support,got no GPS signal for a few minutes. They told me to move it to a more open space, but it was already in an open space with clear view to the sky.
To move yarbo a few meters everytime it loses gps is not really a good solution for a autonomous yard robot.

If usually will clear on its own after a period of time. Moving it just expedites the process. But I agree it got worse after the update.

Same error mine shows when it’s having issues, often despite decent number of satellites and L2 being reported.

Yeah my L2 and HDOP are usually completely fine.

Is there a secret decoder page or KB that explains all the stuff on there? I have no idea if that is good or bad.

Second this. After the last update I watched mine lose signal in the field barely near a tree on a cloudless day. I was like what…? :joy:

Thanks for the share on the page. They need to go back and fix the stuff that’s getting cut off when viewing that page. Several lines are cutoff mid sentence, mid word, etc…lol

Scroll to the right. There are also a few references to the documentation “The specific status codes and details can be found in the right-side documentation or additional references” that doesn’t exist. @Yarbo-Forum

Yeah, the scroll bar wasn’t popping up at the bottom.
