Nice!

My Yarbo just updated to V3.14.0.

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.


Wow, that is not a good start after an important update. I would give it a reboot and hopefully it gets better.

That’s not good at all.

I wonder if the PPVS settings got reset as a part of the firmware update and that’s what caused it to drive off course.

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.

The ticket number is #225505 @Yarbo-Forum

How can we find out more about tow mode that is included in this release (beta)?

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.

Oh boy, that is a big disclaimer for something that took soooo long to come out.

What is not in beta, everything seems half baked.

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.

Good news is, it supports making memory paths with trimmer mode enabled.

In forward or reverse, or both?

I’m more “get something basic out there”

Got 14.0 this morning. No issues running a plan right after. Completed normally and is recharging normally.

TBD I guess.

You made me check mine and they haven’t changed. I use global only.

So what’s the 0.00m next to the GPA quality icon going to show? I wasn’t watching closely, but didn’t see it change.

That’s the amount of deviation if you lose GPS.

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 :rofl:

Moderate bypass was working better for me but it was like it previously used to work. I would still recommend NGZ’s for things like garden lights.
