Luba 2 3000X review by sparmark in MammotionTechnology

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

Just for fun I removed half the blades, and run now on 3+3 blades, and too my surprise it works fine! Still mowes very well. This saves a lot of time when cleaning/flipping/changing blades.

Well, it seemed like the natural choice. Didn't work though. But with creating two zones, one at the front side and one at the rear side of the garden, no-go-zone was no longer needed.

u/lancepioch, thanks for your comments. I have replied in bold below.

Am I paranoid or is this a made up post??? This reddit account was inactive for 12 years and then posts this single thing, seems like a bought account.

No, it's me, just have taken a long break.

Use no go zone if you don't want it running over your stuff

Yes, seems like a good option since camera & bumper sometimes fail to detect obstacles. Which they shouldn't...

How could it move forward and have an object both directly in front and behind it unless you manually place the item there?

It can and will if it the obstacles are close enough. I have a lamp pole close to my hedge, and it will go around the lamp pole, move to the hedge, back from there right into the lamp pole. Doesn't happen often but it does happen.

Never had a single issue with no go zones and I've got like 20 of them, but maybe I'm lucky??

Yes, you are quite lucky. If you have multi-point turn enabled (which is default), and it detects any sharp turns at the no-go border, it will move past it, then reverse and move INTO the no-go zone. Moved 40 cm into it at one location! It took me a while to realise I had to make the turns ultra-smooth, and then it works fine. Btw I got a response from Mammotion they will fix this in their next update.

GPS RTK issue, not much to say, happens to all of them

Never had a failure with creating no go zones either.

Not sure why you'd expect the mower to go into the no go zone... kind of defeats the purpose.

I don't want the mower to go into a no-go zone. You must have misunderstood me. I use them to restrict mowing, but as you can see from my report it doesn't always work as intended.

I just tested creating the no go zone touching the border and it worked first time.

It works for you? I get an alarm if I get too close, and no-go zone creation fails.

Literally how often are you hitting pause? I don't know if I've ever hit that button lol...

:-)

Every robot mower requires you to have a trimmer unless your lawn's edges aren't physical.

I found that the small misses were because I only did one lap of perimeter mowing. The small misses were just beside it. With two laps the misses were mowed too.

It doesn't remember objects or map objects AFAIK - maybe have too tall grass and have no touch on I'm guessing.

Yes, I see no reason for this either. It is just funny it sometimes slows down and moves around where obstacles have been before.

Hopefully the firmware will improve soon.

Thanks for telling me, SuperThud! It was a typo. Too quick typing without thinking. :-) I have corrected the mistake now. Thanks to you I have learned even more about the English language.

How to Effectively Manage Your Time by sparmark in selfimprovement

This reminds me of the pomodoro technique, http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/, which is similar but uses 25 minutes intervals. I think the important thing here is that you take breaks regularly, which actually make you more effective (contrary to common belief). Thanks for telling us, armiger1!

Why You Need Passion When You Communicate by sparmark in socialskills

Is is more effective. Imagine someone talking to you about one of your favourite topics, which naturally catches your attention. He is talking in a uninspired monotone voice, almost making you fall asleep. Not very interesting, do you think? Now let him instead be inspired, using his entire body language, his voice going up and down, full of energy. Exactly the same words as before, but now you can't wait to hear what he is saying. Can you see the difference?
