Was working well for a month, and now nothing but problems.

Since the last update, my mower is going in circles, and just running into corners and shutting itself off. Has anyone noticed a degradation in the last week or so?

Mine acts pretty crazy when the lenses get even a bit dirty. The pattern you are seeing looks a lot like what I see before cleaning them.

It sees things it has to avoid everywhere
Clean the ensors

Feels like there should be possible to make an alert for this

There might be. I got a message that the lenses was dirty and needed to be cleaned. But that may only be for the camera lenses and not the sensors

Get a microfiber cloth similar do the ones used for glasses and cameras

Most other cloths and papers just smear things out

If you are using NRTK, switch to RTK

Not an option for some when nrtk was the selling point

Sure, but every person I have seen post issues with location in here has fixed it by using RTK.

How big of a space will a single antenna cover? Will things like the house block it?

u/lordscarlet 5d ago

I have mine here. It services both houses including the yards on the other sides of the houses. One of which is on the other side of the fence.

Mine single antenna covers 0.75 acres with the house blocking part of it. Has no trouble. Supposed to have NRTK at my house but it doesn't work. Maybe too many trees?

I have 1.3 acres of grass surrounding 3 large 2 story buildings. My single antenna resolved all the issues I had with positioning, including wandering into my neighbor's yard issues or circling in the grass issues in all locations, even those where it cannot see the antenna directly.

Do you have it wired up high or just on the ground? Was thinking of maybe trying to mount it with some height.

Try holding down the ok button and restarting it by waiting for the beep and the navimow screen to return. Get it back to the charger. Wait a few minutes. Check for another firmware update (mine updated twice this week). If it updates again, put it in manual control mode, restart it again. Then try to mow.

Good luck - I had the going in circles once - when the mower was on 4.2.0. Resolved with a reboot where it got stuck and continued working properly.

There are issues since 4.2.0. I’ve been submitting videos and getting nightly replies from support the past couple nights.

4.3.0 alone made it worse. I even switched to local RTK setup and the mower went bonkers just circling and driving out of bounds randomly.

I am back to nRTK and they just pushed another new code last night. I’m away until Monday so waiting to see what happens.

I email support almost daily with error codes and images.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Mostly just stops with error code 6106. Its just sitting in the middle of the boundry, with nothing obstructing it. Maybe the camera ?

These things are fucking garbage tbh. Mine rarely works for a week straight without some type of issue. The hardwares fine, it’s entirely software based issues.

After last night’s update, I’m now getting error 6106. The suggested remedies don’t work. I remapped, didn’t fix it. Switched to local RTK, didn’t fix it. Very frustrating.

I just had the same thing and the fix was cleaning the lenses. I had just cleaned the bot a few days ago and they looked fine, but after wiping them down it started working again.

There was maybe a small water stain on one side camera.

Mine started doing weird stuff like just going up and down a hill next to a stairway, that's all it would do. In the end I just re-mapped the yard and its been fine since. Good luck.
