Frustrated by the number of locations in my yard that get no regular GPS signal making mapping difficult if not impossible, I am hoping you could use accelerometers to determine position when goa is not available. Then reconcile position info once GPS is available. If this feature were used to map, the user could review and amend the map if needed
It already does this with the IMU using dead reckoning, but it loses precision after time and distance traveled. It would veer so far of course that it would be completely useless. This is why it pauses and waits for signal to recover. Most often this isn’t even GPS related and is more RTCM data path related. I suggest posting diagnostics screenshots in the support area when this is happening and we can try and troubleshoot if it’s actually GPS or something else entirely. It could also be a current known bug that is hopefully fixed in the next release sometime soon. Also make sure you aren’t using WiFi on your rover. If you are go into WiFi and forget your home SSID. This will definitely cause you communications issues that could lead to loss of “GPS” which is really RTCM in this instance.
Same feature request here:
There is currently one problem:
When loosing GPS especially directly under a tree, I had the situation that yarbo waits forever for a valid GPS signal. But this will end in a dead end cause of the tree (no GPS). So I had to manually move yarbo away from tree and start mowing again.
A currently workaround: I added a larger no go area around tree to avoid GPS dead end.
