How to update?
Ensure your Yarbo is powered on and connected to the internet. The new firmware will be automatically downloaded and installed once it becomes available for your device.
If you have not received the update within one week, please contact us at support@yarbo.com for further assistance.
Immediately after the update, it started doing a scheduled WP that it had already successfully done this morning (it was past the scheduled-start-time). Kind of weird…but not so bad, plus the schedule is a window, and it is still in that window of time — so not something to complain about much, if at all.
The real trouble is, Yarbo has completely gone off into the wild, out of areas, paths, etc!!!
If I hadn’t been watching it and stopped it might have driven into a ditch.
Yarbo isn’t a hobby for me. I bought it to DO WORK. I’m still waiting for it to at least meet me halfway.
Hi, I also received a new firmware update and it seemed to go through normally and I updated the app, but the app still shows the old firmware versio (3.13.15)? I tried, normal restart, 60sec. restart and remove battery +5min restart to Core, but no help here.
I am sure they will write a primer on it soon enough. DISCLAIMER: I will say that it still very much a beta and people should test it first before attaching any implements and towing autonomously with it.
That’s what I was just saying last week - I’d rather they take their time and get Tow Mode 1.0 to be a solid release, versus deploying something that’s obviously half baked and unusable.
Does it navigate around obstacles well now? Does it also recognize new obstacles? I just installed new garden lights, and I don’t want it to knock them over
