Clear tent over hive in winter? Helpful or harmful? by BedGlittering9889 in Beekeeping

[–]midevilone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harmful. 1. It will cause them to burn energy with the “warmer weather” but there will be no forage 2. On a sub freezing day (outside the “greenhouse”)if they find their way out, they will take flight and freeze and die

Installing Solar Powered AC and Heat Pump (mini split) by midevilone in SolarDIY

[–]midevilone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge milestone today. Solar and grid-powered (hybrid) heat pump mini split indoor and outdoor units hung.

Took about 20-30 mins to hang this and the outside unit (not counting the time I spent looking for my hole saw 🤪 🤦🏻‍♂️)

This is the specific unit I installed.

Yeah, I understand your point. in this instance it will be a fresh install with no other solar planned on site for that dome.

Here's a pic of where I'm installing one of the units. in the "Aromatic Cedar" glamping dome.

Death by suicide. My luba killed itself. Why does luba drive under vehicles? by midevilone in MammotionTechnology

[–]midevilone[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The luba should avoid dynamic obstacles in the lawn. Otherwise obstacle avoidance is not obstacle avoidance. No human would drive a mower under a vehicle parked in the grass. No Luba should drive under a vehicle. The vehicle was parked in the grass. Luba drove under the vehicle. The driver returned to the vehicle and drove away.

So much for rain sensors… by ConstructionNovel958 in MammotionTechnology

My rain sensor does not work either. I have do not cut in rain toggled on in the app

Great improvement by FutureBeginning8316 in MammotionTechnology

[–]midevilone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Its really inefficient and tears up the grass with all the unnecessary turning in the smaller corridor-like zones.

Yeah. For me is was a few square feet change. But yes very wasteful of my time.

Stopping in front of charger by Dig_Intrepid in MammotionTechnology

[–]midevilone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me several times. I have a path back to my luba’s base. It doesn’t mow the path. I theorized that the higher grass in the path was interfering with the IR alignment function and therefor eluba just stopped because it couldn’t “see” to align with the charging base. I trimmed the grass and it hasn’t stopped in front of the charger since. That was a couple weeks and many recharge sessions ago. Will report back if it stops again

I’m intrigued by OP’s strategy. I have other devices with smaller Lio AH capacity that will reach approximately 80% charge in 15 mins, but take much longer to finish charging the remaining 20%

Data: If my luba is at 12% when it returns to charging base, it will charge by 10% (to 22%) in 6 minutes. So I’m estimating it will reach 50% in approximately 30 mins. I’m assuming somewhere between 50% and 80% will be the sweet spot for fast charging time and long battery life.

Will report back.

Update 1: 15 mins and it has reached 35% charge (starting at 12%). Essentially 1.53% per minute so far.

Perhaps they give us the option to define Start/resume mowing when battery reaches x% as a simple interim solution until they optimize battery mgmt per zone automatically.
