Yarbo wont move when starting a mowing plan

Make sure there are no disabled ones that might be causing that. Enter yard, edit yard, tap three dots, docking stations. Delete any that isn’t the one you just installed.

Restore again from the cloud and it resolved itself. Must have been a bug with the first download.

Very easy to see this new unit is a huge improvement over the first one! All of that back and forth about GPS signal and connections dropping isn’t an issue with this unit.(so far)!

That’s good news so far!

Funny you bring this up. I moved and when I mapped at the new property I had 2 remote DS locations I didn’t place and an additional DS. Seemed like they were there by default. Wondered where they came from.

I had some weird ones show up after map restores. I think they are the original dock location before correcting for drift.

Ran the first mow with the new core. PPVS (which caused issues with the old core) worked perfectly and I got an even cut with uniform stripes! Very happy with this new unit so far!

Only issue I had was the Yarbo going into NGZs when turning. I’ll have to adjust the buffer settings to find what works best.

Keep in mind that it will pull over the boundaries by about half a core length since when that boundary line is mapped, the boundary line is the center of the core between the two antennas. I wish they still wouldn’t let it pull over the boundary line except when it is mowing the boundary, precisely as it was mapped. There is no reason IMO for it to pull over a boundary line short of that. So if you were watching in the app, that may have been what you were seeing. However, if it was taking some liberties in real life, then yeah, safety buffer adjustment should help. But, glad to hear this core is working better for you.

I don’t recall S1 preforming this way breaching the NGZs

The S1 if I recall correctly had a 3FT hard safety buffer around any NGZ or point cloud. You aren’t trying to mow around those NGZ’s. And for safety around the meat grinder that is a snow blower, well it makes sense to keep a good distance from anything that is marked as unsafe.

The numbers I’m getting with this core are vastly superior than the old core.

DOP dips down to .6 throughout most of the yard. Sitting on the recharge pad which is almost underneath the DC sees it go up to ~.85.

I would love to know for sure why there is so much variability in GPS sensitivity between different Yarbo cores.

Some of it is bad antennas. Some seems to be antennas not fully torqued down. But that still leaves a decent number of cases that can’t be explained.

A lot of it is install related since the numbers we see are shared with the DC. Any one of 3 antennas can impact those numbers. Could be a cable, bad connection, bad antenna, bad install, or just a manufacturing defect in one of the parts.

Figured I’d post a pic of Yarbos first full cut on my backyard. I certainly posted pics when the old core was screwing up every day, so I’m pleased to post when the new core does a great job!

That looks great. Glad to hear it is working well for you.

Looks great!! Yarbo is gonna make your yard the talk of the neighborhood.

One thing I’d like to figure out is how to force Yarbo to go around the perimeter when returning to the dock.

That stripe slashing across the yard kinda ruins the view :wink:

Seems like a easy software fix, but for some reason they won’t implement this. It really does ruin the experience when you look out at your completed area and there are random paths across it.

I have that feature on my Mammotion bots. I think they added it early last year.

When the feature first came out, I immediately activated it. Cause like you said, we want the lines perfect with no random stripes cutting through.

But then I eventually disabled it cause in some cases following the parameter eats up a lot of battery and time driving all around the outside of the yard just to get back to the dock to charge.

Lymow added the feature about a year ago, but it still does not work. :joy:
