I have had support replace my RTK’s three times now. Nothing will change. I have a full open property. Suddenly, the rover wont have good GPS. Will barely move if at all without manual driving. I simply swap the RTK’s with brand new ones, and the rover starts doing its plan and not a single issue. This has happened three times!
They need to build better RTK’s. They would have a lot more happy clients. I am not unhappy, actually quite happy, but I am tolerant on issues like this where most are not.
They have been testing some really nice ones with some people having GPS issues. Very sturdy and robust, but expensive. They really should adopt those as the standard. They work really great.
I am having GPS issues as well. The thing ran flawlessly until the last update that I decline and then it forced it overnight. To be sure I tried swapping my antennas and tried replacing them one at a time. I am using those above short fat antennas.
The only way to temporarily fix it is to unplug the battery for five min and plug it back in. After about 40 min it looses signal again. I can usually once manually end task and it will reaquire. However, it usually goes lame again after about one to ten minutes. It is also impossible to make it charge after manually docking when it is like this.
It is definitely the update because I have had an update go bad before and it just wonders around and says blocked or the arrow keys stop working right. Both were fixed by yarbo by pushing the update again. However this time they have not responded to the ticket.
I have asked on a couple of FB groups and it sounds like I am not the only one with the issue. A simple revert back would work fine. Right now the thing is not usable.
Would you mind posting your diagnostics (RTK, status, Data Center, and HaLow sections) and then click on details under RTK and post your DC CNR values?
It isnt my datacenter. The firmware update messed it up. None of the numbers can be trusted. After it just sat there for 10 min unplugged with zero GPS signal plugging it in caused it to immediately get signal again and start working.
I’m sure it could be related, but doesn’t hurt to rule it all out. Certainly would help Yarbo get you a resolution faster to check off all the boxes of possibilities. This sounds very much like a poor GPS signal at the DC (if your core L2 numbers and quality look ok) or something going on with the RTCM data stream (which presents as bad GPS).
I am trying one more thing. I was powering off the data center and noticed it went to green almost right away. So I am trying a reset using the reset switch. I have had luck with that before.
Um did they add encryption to the stream with the new update???
Very interesting development. I moved my Datacenter and the Yarbo wifi to an isolated vlan without the AI firewall, which requires a certificate or windows and android or it blocks SSL traffic. Now the thing runs but still shows no GPS. However, the location on the map is spot on. It is doing its job. This started as soon as I moved it.
I find this odd because the thing worked fine with the AI firewall and without a certificate prior to the update. I am wondering if they maybe added some sort of SSL to the tunnel?
I just attempted to SSH into the datacenter and it mentions SSL in the notice screen but I clicked off of it too fast to read it. Bottom line if the thing can be SSHed into I dont want it to be able to reach out into the home network only the internet and me establish connections to it from another VLAN.
