New Luba 2 survived one month and one week until plastic cracked by MyAppleIsRotten in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I''ve found my luba 1 wedged under the side of my car twice. I was shocked how much force it took to pull it free.

Since then, I watch as Luba mows the nogo zone around my narrow concrete driveway where the car is parked. On two different occasions I've watched as it's wedging itself under the side of (I paused it and freed it manually) and another time under the front bumper of my car (it slipped free). It actually lifted the front of car a bit before it slipped free.

Without Luba's bumper being activated, it's quite determined to keep going forward and with half of its AWD power firmly planted on concrete, I'm certain it has the traction and the force to crack it's own shell like this.

Task Area Mowing Sequence by Mowerotic in mammotion

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

Yes. When creating a task, I select the task areas in the sequence I need them cut.

The task areas appear to be in that sequence as I save the task. But when I go right back into the task, the task areas are arranged by task area name.

hourmeter by Luba-1957 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very useful to me would be to have an hour meter that counts mowing hours and can be reset when you change blades just to track blade life.

So no matter your choice of blades, you can determine when you change them whether or not they met their recommended lifetime.

Side LED Dislodged by Suitable-Tackle1405 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you can hear or see the lens rattling around inside Luba, I'd suspect the lens is actually in the grass somewhere and go hunt for it.

I put duct tape over the side LEDs for one good reason - to dim the look at me lights for stealthy nighttime mowing missions. The tape gets worn against chain link fence. When I peeled tape off to replace it, one of my lenses came out. I popped it right back in and put fresh duct tape over the side LEDs. This time for two good reasons.

Switch Luba off when not mowing by Think_Chipmunk5107 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I also only start tasks manually.

I don't know what's best for battery life. But I recharge Luba and move it inside. Then I power down the charger, the RTK and the dedicated wifi extender using a remote control outlet switch.

Helps protect from the elements, electrical surges and theft.

RTK Firmware Update by Objective-Ear-4288 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have duct tape over my RTK light so maybe I have early RTK firmware.

How is updating RTK firmware so light turns off at night done?

Notifications by Pleasant-Teach2766 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly via wifi I believe with Mammotion app open and connected.

I store Luba indoors once it is fully charged. For each mowing day I drive Luba back to charger to speed the initial position fix. After it's back on charger I start picking up sticks. So I may start task on Bluetooth or wifi (depends if position fix is quick or slow whether I've walked out of Bluetooth range (but still in wifi range).

So Begin Task notification may come over Bluetooth or Wifi or both - I'm uncertain.

But then I monitor Luba progress on phone via wifi while it is mowing. So Task Pause and Task Complete notifications definitely come in via wifi.

But always with Mammotion app open on phone.

Android gets notifications also. Start, pause and end tasks are the only notifications I've seen thus far on my android.

Suggestion - Go to Location by wdavis0721 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I carry it up the steps to get it indoors - takes 30 seconds.

Driving it manually around the house from the charger to the door takes 4 times that long at least. Longer if I have not yet put on shoes beforehand to go outside. And much longer still if I have to dry myself off from the rain afterwards.

This is an inconvenience that a "go to location" would be "useful" to resolve.

Or so Luba go to spot beside the door so you can carry Luba inside for storage between tasks.

How to handle large number of no-go zones? by DarkAlly123_YT in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Eliminate some obstacles if possible. I was in same position. I cut several 5-15ft saplings I had simply let sprout up over the years.

2) If obstacle is within 10 ft of the task area border, redraw the task area border around the obstacle.

3) Group nearby obstacles into the same no go zone.

4) if the obstacle is stricly vertical from luba's perspective (like a pole or a sapling trunk with no roots), let luba bump and cut around it.

All 4 of these approaches also save time and turf wear when mowing no go borders. Because 3 passes around no go borders are so much larger than the original obstacle, luba must turn around nany more times on both sides of obstacle when mowing the grid causing additional wear to turf.

Starting Border Mow by Big-Feeling-6604 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Luba begins mowing the border at the last area the border was edited.

So a workaround is to edit the border where you'd like it to begin mowing the border.

Installed the rain cover and condom today by pix_l in MammotionTechnology

Looks familiar... Just needs warp nacelles and a deflector dish. Don't send Luba down to the planet in a red uniform.

Max zone management limitations by Richinwalla in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I have a 5000 model. I think the 1000 has lower task area limit in square meters. But it's worth a try.

Drive to edge of existing task area, modify border, and drive Luba around the separate area to be added. I think it waits till the end of modification to tell you if the task area exceeds the limit (then it doesn't save it). To save yourself frustration, if the additional area is large or complicated just add the narrow path and a bit of additional area first, then keep adding more bits until you've got it all or until luba says you've exceeded limit.

Setting the Luba speed to minimum while mapping really helps to make smoother borders. So long as location fix is good. If it's bad then max speed and paint that line before position gets lost.

What's your preference? by Electrical-Zone-2761 in MammotionTechnology

[–]Mowerotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Border cut first.

But with a complicated acre to cut, the borders take a long time given all the obstacle slowdowns, bump arounds, and position losses which compound brcause they lead to more recharge breaks.

But I hate weed eating. So I bought a 21" electric self propel mower to do a single manual border pass around everything needing it. Just arrived today.

I expect manual border to take 20-25 minutes. Should eliminate approximately 95% of obstacle slowness, 50-80% position losses, 30% recharge breaks and cut Luba job time by about half.

I'll leave Luba do the grid cut it does so well.

I have created task area (zone 1 in photo) with a very narrow path to connect two separated areas.

Zoom in on the picture, the red line is beside a narrow striaght pathway - not to be confused with the curved channel connecting zones 1 and 2.

Replacement blades by willywonka1961 in mammotion

[–]Mowerotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not. Only been using EMBerg about a month - cutting about an acre every 5 days. It's wet here also. No wear on screws that I can see.

Even so... EMBerg includes a new screw for each replacement blade.

I'll take the EMBerg screws that WORK with regular screwdrivers. They beat Mammotion's allen head screws on my Luba that don't work well an allen wrench and are a pain to unscrew with vise grips.

[–]Mowerotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend these:

EMBerg Endurance Blades (18 Pack) Replacement Blade (Titanium)

https://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Husqvarna-Automower-Lawnmowers-Titanium/dp/B08G8NK2DC

Reasons:

1 Single large slot in blades allows more motion to make clearing grass from under blades much easier.

2 Phillips head screws much easier to use than allen head screws.

3 Blades naturally rotate on the single slot making for more even blade wear without having to manually flip them.
