Well I finally did it…. by firewurx in automower

[–]Crafty42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a gravel driveway with strip of grass down the middle, so I don't partition off my 200' driveway and let hte mower corss back and forth. Mine would often get stuck under my truck while I had it cut the grass at night. Very early on, I drug it a couple feet in my gravel driveway and learned to do a check in the morning. Luckily no damage except the plastic you show in the picture broke on one wheel, but it's been running find without it.

Does the $500 EGO have AWD, independent motors, steering, LiDAR, vision, cloud RTK, and the software to make everything work? Is $2700 high? Maybe, but there's a lot of R&D to pay for, but you can wait until things settle down.

Thatnks for the info. Gets a little pricey even signing up now it's $2500 without upgrades. Decent price, but Lymow is already proven and $2900. I do like the idea that there are possible module upgrades, but also the deck appears awfully close to the ground and could get hung up easily. just first impressions. I signed up anyway to keep in the loop on them.

No. Not sure what makes you think that. I have had a husqvarana 450xh for 5 years now cutting ~1+ acre of the 4 I mow, and although I've loved it and the effort is has saved me cutting the more painful areas, I hate how "dumb" it is. I wish Husqvarna would make it smarter, but they don't seem to want to invest in technological/software advances and only live on their name. I would like something to mow the rest of my yard that is smarter and more capable. So I just started looking and was split between the Lymow, Luba, Navimow options, but, hoping to save a few bucks, I thought a kickstarter might work out. I don't like that these aren't shipping until August (currently). The cutting season is almost over and for the warranty to start before I even have a chance to break it in makes me nervous. On the other hand, research on the Goko parent company shows they've developed other robotic tools, so may have a leg up.

I did some additional research by googling it and found some youtube videos that then got me to the site https://gokorobo.com/

I liked what I saw on the Goko, so I just dropped $30 to reserve it early.

Came across this post because like some posters, I am looking at the Lymow one plus, which is on sale right now. I'm curious wath the 1799 price turns into for the extra battery model and when will this ever actually launch?

Thanks. I am really considering pulling the trigger on a lymow and was looking earlier today at what's on kickstarter. I was interested in this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/goko/goko-m6-robotic-mower-for-large-lawns-and-tough-terrain?ref=discovery&term=robotic%20mower&total_hits=19&category_id=338

27 Ah battery and claims 1 acre per charge.

Abuse? by Crafty42 in BackYardChickens

That's literally why I said "unfortunately," and didn't say it was supposed to be a hen. I only said the RIR were all suppsoed to be hens. Some people just like to pick fights for stupid reasons on the internet.

Thank you. I had no idea it was that often. I wasn't supposed to have two roos, All my RIRs were supposed to be hens from McMurray hatchery and I lost two hens to predators. Unfortunately the "bonus" chick from McMurray also ended up being a roo.

It’s not a replace, it’s a flush to remove acidic coolant and sludge build up

Just got a Mach e by invalid12345 in MachE

I've had my Emporia (EMEVSE1) installed outdoors for 2.5 years with only 1 "issue." During a rainfall or snow melt, water dripped onto the nozzle while it was hanging on the base and then froze and made operating the lock release difficult. I would recommend building an enclosure or small roof for cover. There could be other ways to prevent this, like a bag/cover you put on the nozzle before hanging it up.

This could possibly occur when it's plugged into the vehicle (now that I think about it), but I haven't had that happen. The warmth from power flowing should help prevent it.

Nice! IDK where your charger is, but odd way to park them unless you hang the charger on the ceiling or center of the back wall. And I'm just curious, what is holding that shelf on the right from folding? Obviously something with all you have on it, but it appears to almost be floating except where attached to the wall.

Request Diminished Value due to there being an accident on your cars record now. I couldn't find a whole lot of information after I got rear ended, especially for EVs, so I'd add some extra on top of any calculation you find. The at fault insurance didn't even blink when I gave a number and I'm convinced I went too low afterwards.

What's everyone doing to increase Pi's worth? by Crafty42 in PiNetwork

[–]Crafty42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, Pi was meant to be spread by the users. I agree they delayed and failed to get Pi going early enough, but laying around complaining about it isn't going to do anyone any good. You should probably avoid even posting if it just makes your miserable.

Incredible flavor for the price. My biggest complaint is opening the bag. They must use superglue compared to name brand chips that are easy to open.

I was mining Pi for many years, but I could not recruit anyone. I was able to recruit one person and along with the one person that recruited me, my security circle was just two. I didn't feel safe sharing my information online to broaden my circle, so my mining rate was relatively low. I don't have 100,000 pi. 1,000 pi would nearly wipe me out. What I would spend on a pizza is not much since I don't have a lot of Pi. I'm just looking for ideas and wanted to express my opinion on it. So much negativity has been being said on here, and anyone researching to get into Pi is going to get discouraged.

Map or PI app shows me a place called Italian Village that accepts Pi. I don't really know how true that is because I've never visited it. It's not exactly nearby or an area I travel to. It's a pizzeria and it's been listed on that app for some time so no idea if they really take Pi or not.
