Vibration and gyro sensor

I suspect that the mower and accessories have a gyroscope since you detect the tilt?!
It might be useful if, when this gyroscope detects a vibration, it could check if it’s hit a rock or if, like many of us, it has already lost or even broken blades, and at that point, stop and warn the user that there’s a vibration problem.
even see when you hit a rock and at that moment back away and show the camera to the user!

I love the idea, but there is already a lot of vibrations going on. I’m wondering how many false positives this would trigger and we’d end up just disabling it.

Might be hard to distinguish with all the vibration.

I wonder if the could tell via current draw or RPM if the blade has come off.

Thanks for your suggestion — these are definitely interesting ideas. However, as others have mentioned, this type of vibration-based detection may trigger too many false alerts. Because of that, we’re not planning to consider this feature at the moment.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us!
