I was redoing some mapping on the driveway getting ready for snow. I had the snowblower on the core and was running a plan. Yarbo was on a sidewalk and the chute was constantly moving back and forth. Is that normal?
Yes that’s normal. Keeps it from getting frozen in one spot.

Wait really?
You’ve never seen it move the chute periodically just a tad while clearing? Quick almost flick to each side.

I have, but I’ve also seen it stay solidly straight for a while…to me it looks like a bug, encoder debouncing issue or multiple control programs fighting. A simple 2* movement 1 way, pause for a while, move back, pause should be fine…no need to constantly be moving ”all over”?
Mine just kind of swivels slightly from side to side. Probably only 1-2° at most. You’d kind of need to watch for it to notice it. The deviation isn’t enough to materially affect where the snow is being thrown.

Exactly
In the deeper snow where you’re throwing further it seems to affect it to me…it’s low on the concern list but seems a bit excessive to me…but better excessive rather than not enough 
I still say what’s implemented is excessive, it’s throwing snow in places I don’t want it to go, not the biggest deal but I think eventual refinement is needed.
How much does it swing back and forth while blowing snow?? Mine is barely apparent. It’s not like it’s swinging 45° or anything.
Correct. Same with mine.
Same. It’s super fast/couple degrees wiggle.
It’s like a 20-25’ landing zone on power mode, probably 10-15*
That really doesn’t sound right to me. I’ll have to try and measure the approximate oscillation the next time we get snow (hopefully not until next year!)
