Yarbie’s house is at the bottom of the high heel. I sent him out to work on the remote zone up near the “edit map” button. He did it and came back home to re-charge. All good except for the path home. It was closer to the ground than programmed. Each part of the plan is set at 1.4” since it is new snow on top of the existing gravel and grass terrain. As far as I can tell, the 1.4” was respected on the way out. But Yarbie lost his setting and his trip back to the house was much too low.
I think you can see the path back is scraping along the gravel compared to the higher stuff near is house. I have doubled checked the settings of the initial path (1.4), the zone shaped like a high heeled boot (1.4), the path connecting the distant zone to the boot zone (1.4) and the distant zone (1.4). Any idea why Yarbie is executing below his settings?
Hi there, sorry to hear about this issue. If you’ve double-checked all the auger height settings and everything looks correct on your side, then it may require a deeper look from our support team.
Could you please submit a support ticket for this case and let us know the approximate time when it happened? This will help our engineers retrieve the logs for analysis. If you don’t remember the exact time, you can check it in Yarbo Settings → Work Plan History to help you locate the timestamp.
Thanks for letting us know, and we’ll try our best to help you get this resolved!
Thanks, I wouldn’t have thought of that. In my case there is a mower layer beneath one of the areas.
On the side of my driveway is a strip of grass that I need to clear snow from so you can exit the vehicle. I guess I’ll need to delete the mow area and remap next year.
I have the snowblower height set to 1 inch. I can’t change the mower height without swapping modules. The mower height is set to 3 inches anyway so I’m not sure how that would help or why it would drop the height of the snowblower.
I’m not 100% sure what the issue is. I need to play with it more and will report back.
you can set the auger height on “mowing areas”. I dont think there are any differences from the area’s point of view. An area can be mowed or have the snow blower run there.
The settings for the areas change when the module is changed say from Mower to Snow Blower.
I think the advice is to set auger height on areas that are not in your work plan if they are overlapped.
The fact that we are even having this discussion is ridiculous. If the snowblower is attached it should have no knowledge of any areas or settings not pertaining to the attached module.
Looks like we are returning back to the conversation about labels and long term idea behind it instead of filtering the map.
In my story if “safety boundary“, “extend area“ parameters will be defined for all modules I will be able to remove 85% of overlapping areas (resulting to hidden surprise like in your case), as currently I use different areas for blower and snow blower on the top of each other only because I need 0.3m safety boundary for the blower and snow blower should work to the edge.
I hope Yarbo is paying attention to these challenges.
I’m not sure why they are resistant to the idea of each module having its own set of work areas, but complications like this prove why it is necessary.
I’m actually snow blowing one of my mowing areas. If I don’t eventually over winter the path will get deep and drift over when the winds pick up. make sure every area/path that it might traverse over has snow blower settings👍.
Thanks. This is my second winter with the snowblower and last year I didn’t have any issues with having to define snowblower settings for other areas. I don’t know if this is a recently introduced bug or I got lucky somehow last winter.
I hear what you are saying but I think there are use cases for both. They just need to expand and respect user defined labels and filter appropriately (or not) based on user preferences.
Maybe they should expand on the current map filters. Each area, sidewalk, and pathway should have a toggle to specify which modules they should apply to.
