Parking feature

[wykem79]

Looking for a parking feature where you can tell Yarbo to initiate the alignment to the charging station in a specific area. My problem is my charging station is a little too close to my house and sometimes Yarbo will hit the house while trying to align itself. If I can tell Yarbo to execute the 180° turn further away where there is more room and back in, my problem will be solved. Not really any other option to place my charging station. Thanks.

minimize turf damage while entering & leaving charge dock

My Yarbo is wearing a path in front of my charging dock. This is mainly because it makes a 180 degree zero-turn in the same spot every time it enters the dock. Then when it leaves the dock, it advances straight forward about 10’ and makes a zero-turn to various points on the map, again in the same spot. I tried changing my pathway into the dock, but it still makes these turns in the same spots. Possible solutions to this are: Add the option to select 3-point turns instead of zero-turns whe…

Docking return behavior

Rather than going “forward” down the path to the docking station and then rotating (needlessly?) right in front of it, running into things in the process, it would be better if it backed down the pathway. Instructions for a docking return path should tell you the “end” of the path should be in a clear area where it’s safe for the unit to spin around. This seems like it would avoid a lot of docking issues, unless the spinning at the station is for calibration purposed with GPS.

Docking return behavior

Yes, no matter how you create a smooth turn path so that it may simply back up, it 180 turns and drags the deck across the charger only to 180 turn again to back up. Unnecessary wear on grass or treads if concrete. This should be near the top of the fix list. Unnecessary wear, every work plan. Every time.
