Power board error B010

Support & Solutions

I just received an e-mail about my current Yarbo issue (this will now be my 3rd core in less than 30 days). Yesterday after my mower finished mowing my front yard it returned to its base and charged. Then, when I sent it remotely to mow my backyard I got a notification that the blade height couldn’t be reached and I needed to clean the mower deck. When I got home I cleaned the deck and tried to send it out to mow the backyard, when I did I got the error B010.
I submitted a ticket and am now being told this…

“Our backend system includes a monitoring mechanism that triggers an alert when the current on the power board exceeds 5A.
This feature is designed to protect the machine and proactively detect potential issues.”

I am being told that a replacement core is now being shipped to me.

I asked a follow up question about if this is going to be common occurrence. If every time grass clumps under the mower deck and the blades cannot change height I am going to need to get a new core, I feel this is a design issue. I am now in a place where I am going to have to mow my yard manually (what I am trying to avoid by buying the Yarbo to begin with) while I wait on my replacement core. This defeats the point of getting the unit.

I wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues where they are spending more time waiting on replacement cores than they are mowing their yard.

No this isn’t common and you shouldn’t have to be dealing with this. Especially after 3 cores. Hopefully third time is the charm.

But - make sure you do not hot swap the module. Always power down the core using the shutdown under safety settings before connecting and disconnecting modules. I’ve seen reports of people with this error because they are doing hot swaps. Pulling the battery cable usually clears the issue and error. You could try that and see if it clears the error and you can mow in the interim. If the error comes back, I’d stop using it for sure. I believe it’s a little sensitive. Just know that it’s a risk that the board may short out if it truly is a power board issue. Definitely visually inspect the power board for any signs of bubbles or burn marks or other damage before proceeding if that’s what you decide.

I have a zoom meeting scheduled for Sunday night. Maybe the tech will have me pull the battery cable. I’m frustrated because when the thing works it has been doing a good job. But if I need a new core every 3 weeks I’ll need an extra one always on hand just to keep cycling them on the mowing.
