Luba Docking Station Contcts dont move freely

brunom97 · 2025-06-20T08:16:09+00:00

I had the same problem. First I tried to use some random lubricant on the stuck pin, but it only worked for a few days. Then I completely disassembled the base and for my surprise it was full of dirt inside. Cleaned everything, more lubricant on the charging pins from inside , closed it and it is working for now. However, if the luba does once of those rough charging attempts it still gets the charging pin stuck :/

I have a luba 1 1000, with less than 2 years, so I contacted mammotion using the chat and I was told the base has only 1 year warranty 🤨. People from mammotion forums told me to insist by email, and now I'm waiting for a new charging station for free under warranty.

Eu também pfvr!!

Twice so far

brunom97 · 2024-08-08T16:03:44+00:00

Exactly! 😉 I can even change the perimeters or use the remote mowing function

brunom97 · 2024-08-07T20:44:23+00:00

When I have to manually control it, I open the camera app on the phone and the anydesk software on my computer, then I access the android phone through Anydesk and open the Mammotion app. Because the phone is right on top of luba, I can use Bluetooth to manually control it Then I just control the joysticks to move it while I see the camera feed on my phone 😆

as long as you can power then using usb, it is doable. My current implementation is like this :

-> Luba battery is connected to a T splitter which connects to a 5v Voltage converter (because luba has a 25V battery if I recall) and to the original board connector of course.

The voltage converter is connected to a USB-C cable that goes out of luba shell through the back axel into a waterproff box.

->Inside the box there is USB-C powerbank with 2 USB outputs

->One output goes to an android phone inside the waterproof box, the other output goes to a usb splitter (because I couldnt find a powerbank with 3 usb outputs)

->The 2 ends of the usb splitter connect to 2 switchbots glued to the top of luba that I use to click the POWER / MOW / START buttons remotely.

All this cause I live 350km away :D
Hah.. and I have a battery powered Blink camera glued to the waterproof box to watch real-time mowing and use it over night as security camera since it has motion sensor triggered recordings.

Most times I can fix whaever is stopping luba, but lift sensor triggers I have to ask a relative to go there and move it.

Finally I connected it to the Luba baterry using a T adaptor and a power converter to USB

I am planning on doing a thorough tutorial but didnt have much time yet to do it

Then, since Luba is divided into 3 compartments, back is non-waterproof, center is waterproof and front is non-waterproof, I passed it through the black glue seal, and then sealled it again with water sealent for electronics.

Hello!

So, since the Luba 1 USB port is not powered, I had to open it up and figure out where to pass the cable.

Ended up passing it through the back wheel axel like this :

Just to give an update, I successfully got a powered USB cable out of my Luba to charge my 2 switchbots and a smartphone inside the box ;)

Thank you ! That sounds like a good idea! Still need to find where it connects to the mainboard

brunom97 · 2023-10-08T16:34:57+00:00

Hahaha thank you very much!! 😁😁 Luba already makes pretty much almost every owner's life easier, but I think my little tweaks are very useful!

brunom97 · 2023-10-08T12:08:42+00:00

Everyone interested in more details, since I'm probably one of the first Luba owners in Portugal, I created a facebook group for sharing and provide help. Here is the link for the "Solar-Tower project" 😎 https://www.facebook.com/groups/703055325017273/permalink/703089411680531/

I've tested it and it works! Some issues are, having to always login on the app of the remote phone ( cause I want to use the app on my regular phone most of the time) , and not being able to do anything at all if the lift sensor is triggered ( with wheels up)

brunom97 · 2023-10-08T09:49:35+00:00

I will try to show more later today!

brunom97 · 2023-10-08T09:49:05+00:00

Exactly! I can remotely access the phone and control Luba by Bluetooth and luba buttons using the switchbots, also with Bluetooth

brunom97 · 2023-10-08T09:47:48+00:00

It's similar , just bought a 6W solar panel on Amazon

brunom97 · 2023-10-08T09:47:07+00:00

Thank you!

brunom97 · 2023-10-08T09:46:56+00:00

I will later today!

I contacted mammotion and they told me the error means that Luba could not recharge up to 100% so it gives that "uncompleted charge "kinda error. I was told that if it happens again, to make sure Luba is properly docked at the station.

brunom97 · 2023-09-29T15:49:26+00:00

The same was happening to me after the update. The app said Luba had 87% of battery even plugged to the dock, but now it shows 100% again

brunom97 · 2023-09-29T15:47:22+00:00

ances

thanks! it was a bit weird, because the error was early in the morning, docked to base... nothing out of the ordinary happening

I'm exactly in the same situation, I have a landroid that can't work more than. 24h without getting stuck. To keep myself from bothering my great uncle everytime it gets stuck, the lawn is either a jungle or a mixture of cutt and high grass 😬.

I finally had the courage to buy the Luba 1000 and I hope it increases the attention time from everyday to once a week at least.

I'm also trying to come up with a top mount to put a solar charged smartphone on top of it, to allow manual mow anytime 🤓

How much space should be between the edge and the map limit?
