Binding and Upgrading YUKA Correctly. Don't forget the RTK!

[@matts9168]

Thanks for the update. I'm interested to see if you get more mow time without the sweeper since you have twice the battery. My Yuka has been great. I did have an issue updating firmware. My mower updated but the RTK kept failing. I ended up seeing a post on Reddit saying they had to leave the RTK unit unplugged for a while (like a couple hours) before it would work. I pulled the plug before bed and it updated the next morning first try. My RTK unit is too close to the house so I have intermittent positioning issues but the system is able to recover gracefully and no intervention is needed. It has been taking care of my backyard for a few weeks and I have only had to rescue it a couple times. I used to have a Landroid that I'd have to rescue multiple times a day.

Nice one, can help a lot of new users

Hi ! What happened to me is the Yuka and the RTK were properly added to the app and properly bound to each other and to my WiFi. The mowing was great but then came the update. I updated both through the app, but after that, they could not find each other. Seems I had to remove the Yuka from the charger, and reboot it. After that, it could once again find the RTK. Mammotion is a fantastic company, but customer communication is not their strong suit. I would advise them to hire some North Americans for their support team.

@@networkg I agree. After the latest update though that I did today, you're not still having trouble on that version, are you? The RTK connection problem was supposed to be fixed with version .37

@@Crazypostman I am not experiencing any problems at all, except my neighbors are getting jealous LOL.

You need to have him some time.

I was having trouble creating a map such that long straight boundaries could be driven without making heading corrections (Yuka doesn't do curves when mowing). Today I discovered that if I set a direction and take my right thumb off the app, the mower drives a straight line. My Yuka is working very reliably. My only complaint is that my Mammotion phone app loses connection to the mower even though both the phone and mower have strong wifi connections to the network. I often have to close and reopen the app to reestablish the connection. Any suggestions?

Any update on the Tesla?

[@Crazypostman]

@@spiderdemend Ugh. The app currently says August 12th through September 9th. But last week it said June 28th through August 13th. So who knows, I keep getting excited and let down.

[@Aundra34]

Do you have a preference between Yuka and the Luba 2?

[@Crazypostman]

@@Aundra34 certainly YUKA If you don't need the extra capabilities of Luba

Wondering: - seeing the Sweeper Attachment DRAG in the Dip when Backing-Up, makes me wonder [ ] what may happen out in the yard when it encounters Dips; AND [ ] what may happen in Concave Corners when it Turns and the Sweeper-(Trailer) hits/drags on a building or wall because it is longer with the Sweeper (than it was, shorter - when the Perimeter Path was Programmed. * Also, given the Small Size of the Sweeper Bag - does the Owner have to program a DUMPING area, similar to Programing ‘No-Go’ Zones?

[@Crazypostman]

@@tulsatom4307 I'm going to make a video in the upcoming weeks on the sweeper functionality. I just don't have any leaves to sweep up currently. In the app, there is a way to designate a dumping spot. And it will go back to that same spot every time it needs to dump. In the current software, it does hit the bag sometimes in corners and along the edges that's supposed to be addressed very soon.

"Function properly"? Now that's a misnomer when it comes to Mammotion crap.

[@garryverniest5893]

Hmm, more Mammotion crap floging. Please stop or maybe at least mention that many people are having huge problems with their customer support. Telling people that these are freebies would also help people take this with a huge block of salt. They give KZbinrs all kinds of free units to promote their products but will not replace a defective unit that was bought at full price.

[@surf2257]

What did you bought, Luba or Yuka?

[@Crazypostman]

@@garryverniest5893 can only reference my personal experiences. I have not had any problems except for one day last week my RTK wouldn't connect. I contacted support and they replied within one business day and got it working. They didn't know I was a KZbinr when I contacted them. I was just a regular customer for all they know. I purchased Luba and only after making videos with it for over a year, did they offer to send me a Yuka to try out for my channel. Prople just automatically assume youtubers don't have any integrity. If you think I don't, you're welcome to hit the unsubscribe button and move on. I don't know what else to say. My Luba1 has been working fine for almost two years, mowing three acres. And so far, the Yuka has been great as well Aside from a failed software update, That knocked it offline for one day, like I said.

[@Crazypostman]

@surf2257 I purchased the Luba 5000 The Yuka was given to me to make videos with.

[@garryverniest5893]

@@surf2257 I have a Luba 1. It has never worked properly right out of the box. Got it May of 2023 so over a year of trying to get them to make things right. Finally got them to admit there was an issue. Sent it to get the motherbboard replaced and I now have a brick. I can no longer use it at all.

[@surf2257]

@@Crazypostman Cool. Cant wait to see working. I got Luba 1000AWD and want to see if Yuka can pick up leaves.
