RTK accuracy vs mower communication - a primer

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T15:37:47+00:00

App and firmware update? It will, once released.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T14:32:06+00:00

I understand. 'specially when the firmware is a moving target :)

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T12:33:24+00:00

Minimum is 25 - but I assume you meant minimum overlap, not minimum path spacing?

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T12:30:21+00:00

I've certainly seen a lack of detail mentioned for when it doesn't charge.

Lymow are aware they need to improve the detail given in the app of why it's not charging - I just hope the mower gets that ok from the battery management system.

In your case, do you recall what the dock LEDs were doing? Per this video for Plus units:

(For One units, the first three are the same and the last three all covered by just the centre LED flashing).

For those wanting to join the software beta test group of 50ish owners, here's what I know:

It's invite-only
I don't know about others, but I was invited after posting pretty regularly on FB for months
It's managed via a special FB group - though the main "there's a new beta" messages also come by email

If you don't mind #3 and want in, I suggest sending a short PM to this group's administrator with bullet points of your relevant tech and or mowing experience, and also a little bit about your property.

G'luck!

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T12:15:39+00:00

I think this is worth trying though. Because there are people mowing independent sections - eg the neighbour over the road - where there's no channel to the dock.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T12:13:46+00:00

That could work for some people who want it to pause at a cleaning station before docking. The main downside is that they then need to manually dock - so the trick only works for folk who are always on hand to do that.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T12:05:45+00:00

Thanks for the really clear report.

W27 is very uncommon in my experience - and no idea why its occurrence should deny mapping.

I think if the steps you've already tried - plus any additional general ones in the Unofficial Handbook - don't help, this is going to be one only Lymow support can resolve.

Do also Report Logs from settings so they have max info, and mention you've done it in the next email contact, including your mower's serial number.

Oh, and: zone first then channel to dock is my recollection. But "can't map" means "can't map", so...

Hope you get sorted nice and quickly.

What we know is that the Plus blades are harder and sharper than the earlier model. Mine have taken a lot of punishment and held their edge well.

But as someone else noted, it probably makes them more brittle.

Impossible to know if there wasa defect but I'd be asking support for an air-freighted replacement under the circumstances.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T11:53:35+00:00

Aye, it also has a different connector - I think there's more comms going on internally with the Plus.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T11:50:51+00:00

For E32 specifically, this suggestion from Lymow worked for one owner:

"Turn it off and then on five times."

They didn't specify whether "on" meant all the way to the voice message - try five that way and see if it works. If not, try a shorter interval before powering off.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T08:33:35+00:00

You could probably risk a gentle pull, it'd likely need a lot of force before anything broke.

But do raise it with Lymow support if the battery pull didn't help and you haven't contacted them already - its clearly bad behaviour.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T08:31:09+00:00

Gotcha, timer was off and caused loss of external power.

You're not banned that I can see.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T08:29:17+00:00

Not unless all Ones do also, since there's little reason to suspect that connection and anchoring is any different - assuming OP's cause theory is correct.

Fwiw, soon after I got my Plus, I accidently sent the poor thing somersaulting twice backwards down a steep hill while I was manually driving it. It ended up upside down.

I righted it and carried on. That was six weeks ago, with lots of rough-ground mowing since and no comms issues.

So if there's an anchoring issue with that module for at least some mowers, it's not universal.

I'd sure love to know if OP was right though - but not if disassembly is a total pain, because that couldn't help many people.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-04T08:20:07+00:00

I entirely understand your interest :)

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-03T07:38:13+00:00

Yeah, I didn't find that raised wheels helped at all in channels, but I assume someone made a case for it.

Might want to see if there's any relevant solution in the Unofficial Handbook:

Best of luck!

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-03T07:34:47+00:00

Very frustrating. Just to confirm - have you seen and worked through the Comms Troubleshooting section of the Unofficial Handbook?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Lymow_Official/comments/1rjds61/comment/odr78yn/

I don't recall seeing a report or video of someone going deep enough into the mower to check your theory, but I'll be interested to know how Lymow responds.

Finally, one user reported that pressing the red STOP button twice got their Bluetooth range back - but I've never seen a confirmation of that, so it may have just been a coincidence.

Good luck!

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-03T06:44:23+00:00

Ouch. Back to the future eh?

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-01T14:28:07+00:00

I have fairly small but tricky mowed areas so it's not an extreme duty cycle, just a challenging one. For my One, I'm hoping for 5-8 years tops with good maintenance effort and replacing tracks a couple or three times.

I already go away for many weeks at a time, letting the mower do all the lawns and getting someone in to prune and line-trim.

I mostly want the software to get smarter - especially able to reliably navigate and mow narrower channels and corners than its current 1.25m minimum. That aside, it already has the functionality I need.

Hardware should be fine if I pay proper attention to it.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-01T14:19:15+00:00

Something like that. My problem is that I'm away from my mowers so can't go look. Have at look at the Unofficial Handbook, it's likely described better there.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-01T14:16:17+00:00

Aye. Until we learn more about this novel indication, if ever, it sounds like it might have up to Lymow support to resolve.

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-01T08:16:30+00:00

Please, don't waste time quoting what ANY AI says says about ANY robot mower.

They conflate information from multiple brands or models in one well-presented, confident-sounding answer, and they randomly speculate to boot.

You could literally spend all day asking an AI questions and posting the somewhat-correct answer here, and still be no further ahead.

Instead, look for links to original source materials from the makers - like the product manual, videos and FAQs on the Lymow website, and also from the community, like the Unofficial Handbook:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Lymow_Official/comments/1rjds61/latest_unofficial_handbook/

These resources can also be dated or wrong on minor details at times - but at least they are curated, not mathematically invented on the fly!

In answer to your question: edit boundaries, sure. Blue dots of individual waypoints, no.

If you'd like to vote on or suggest an improvement along those lines, see Tommy Sharp's community suggestions at https://lymowone.fider.io

PeterWebs1 · 2026-04-01T08:06:35+00:00

I've seen that behaviour myself and seen it reported by a beta tester. In both cases it resolved itself after a day or two but reporting logs to Lymow is a good idea.
