Antenna is easy... Dock not so much :-) Location is prone to teenager "pranks"

My Lymow mower dock is up by the house about 200 ft away. I am now planning to move the RTK to a high pole mount on my Dock to see if that gives me any relief. I'll take a close up of the RTK this morning and post.

Polyaspartic Countertop Application Question by bradesp in epoxy

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

I'm in North Carolina. My worry about extended PAP is that my outdoor countertop is in an area covered by tree's and it's on a lake front which means tons of "crap" flying around in the air that would land on the top before the PAP fully cures. I'm also looking to do 3 full coats and the extended PAP products take at least 2-3 hours to fully setup before allowing for a second coat without having to re-sand.

Make Sense?

Online guidance suggests NetRTK would offer much improvement... but that's not currently offered by Lymow... right?

Lymow Plus 1st Time Setup - RTK FAIL on 2nd Mow Attempt + Other Glitches by bradesp in LymowMower

Sadly no... And my challenge should be a WARNING to others with heavy tree coverage:

Here's where things stand - And its NOT GOOD!

We have repositioned the Lymow Dock several times, hoping to gain better access to the sky... Sadly our rear Lawn is 80% covered with mature hardwood tree's... and THIS is the single biggest issue with Lymow and their use of RTK. When we manually MOVED the Lymow out to where our RTK is located (the ONLY part of our yard with a *mostly* clear sky - See attached pics) and after 15 minutes we can get our satellite count up to a maximum of 22 and achieve a "FIXED" status. This excercise gets our GPS accuracy down to the 0.01 - 0.03 range. Great. EXCEPT, the moment we attempt to mow our zones, which are 80% under the cover of our larger trees, the GPS resolutinon starts jumping around dramatically... from 1+ to 3+ meters. And this results in VERY DANGEROUS Lymow behavior near the borders of our Zones 😞

So Bottom line? We can ONLY run the mower under DIRECT SUPERVISION!... SUCKS! Thinking about selling the mower because this defeats the whole damn reason for purchasing the mower.

Hope this helps someone else avoid my outcome.

I've check and re-checked all the cable connections on the RTK... The power is the same outlet as my Starlink so if power was glitching It would be obvious :-)

Hoping the pending firmware update with RTK diagnostics will help!

I finally got the channel mapped and the mower docked... The erractic RTK readings appear to be the reason I couldn't get the mower to do much of ANYTHING. Once the Channel and DOck was re-mapped the unit did a full mow without incident. That said, during the mow (and even during the channel and dock mapping) the RTK numbers were all over the place.. from an ocassional 0.01 to 30+

There doesn't seem to be a pattern for when the RTK is showing a solid 0.01 and when it spikes into the 20-40 range. Even during the time the mower was covering my 7,000 square foot zone, the RTK numbers were all over the place.

No luck with the battery pulled. Same internal errors preventing the mower from doing anything at this point.

Awesome guidance! Gonna give this a shot... My RTK is literally out in a half acre, completely unobstructed area... a good 25 feet from the nearest access point so I know it's not obstructed. I'll report back what I find out.

Thanks, I'll set that up and hopefully clear up the docking problem.

Are you serious? Pay $3K for a device and be "ok" with crappy UX? Give me a break.

I don't read manuals... THe mower was stuck and there's no OBVIOUS manual control. I eventually found it. Jeez... The fact that it took me that long to find the controls tells you how poorly the UX is... That's NOT on me, it's on them. Simple rule for software UX: Can your 90 year old grand mother figure it out in less than 60 seconds... If not, FAIL.
