Thanks for making this. I'm in the US and just took delivery of a Luba 2, and wanted to understand more on the satellite side of things before I placed the rtk receiver permanent
Thanks. Im glad it can help.
Excellent. Thank you so much for taking the time producing this video. It is essential viewing for all those potential users who intend to install their robotic mower without professional guidance.
You're very welcome!
I am following your website for a few years. Now the content on the TH-cam channel as well. Really top notch. I couldn’t buy from you previously because you didn’t have installation service in Melbourne. With the coming of diy wire free mowers, I will be buying from you going forward. Really impressed with your knowledge and service. You will be big.
Thanks alway love a black adder fan :) . We do our best to excel in our knowledge and service so customers have a one stop shop for all things robot mowers.
Hi all, before someone points it out, just want to acknowledge myself that I did neglect to mention the Japanese and Indian GNSS systems. The Japanese system QZSS is very relevant to Australia but the Indian system not so much with its current satellites.
Thanks for the explanation 🙏, really clear and understandable 👍
You are very welcome
Thanks.
Well explained 👍
Cheers.
Great video, but the underlaying music is distracting. Please consider lowering the volume next time.
i will keep that in mind for furure videos. Thanks. This video is posted twice on our channel. One has no backing music.
Well done good precise video. I live in France and this will help a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the videos👍🏼
Glad you like them!
Thank you. Very informative
You are welcome!
Good explanations well done for doing same much appreciated
Thanks
This was amazing! Thank you 😊
You're so welcome!
Excellent Video!
thanks
Do any of the mowers allow for the use of multiple RTK sources to improve use in low-coverage zones (or to increase chance of shared-view of satellites?)
No unfortunately RTK systems do not work like this. Only one antenna or base can be used.
Great article, thank you for explaining. Only recommendation I have is to put a link to the app you mentioned. (I went through again and found it).
Maybe you can post a link to the app? ;)
Thanks for that I have added a link for both IOS and android.
done
I am seeing owners who are claiming the Lubs RTK system can have the base set up in the attic. This is contrary to everything the experts advise. What are your thoughts?
We can't do that here in australia, as our roof materials are either metal or thick concrete tiles. I think if your roof is thin enought it might be worth trying, but it will definately reduce the acuracy of the robot.
great informative video thanks for sharing. I have a question, when looking at the satellites in the augmented view should we only have GPS satellites selected or does the system use some others. I am in UK in case that makes a difference. tia
All robot mowers I know of use, GPS, Galileo, BeiDou and GLONASS. So turn all of these on. I usually exclude 15deg from the horizon as well and not many robot mowers on the ground are going to see that close to the horizon.
So between a Landroid with ACS and the Luba 2, which do you think is a better package in the end for a diverse garden? Trees, flowers, etc.
If you have narrow areas less than1.5mt wide then Iwould go for the wired landroid models for sure. If the areas all have fairly wide spaces more then 1.5mt then the Luba would work great assuming you have open skys above.
The video had a lot of good information, but the music as well as the constant video cuts and pressing on the gizmo was pretty distracting.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks
No problem
can you connect two rtk to cover more satellites
No, you can only connect one rtk base to each robot mower. You can connect more than one robot to one antenna. This is the case for all robot mower brands that have rtk based technology.
Would installing a second base help in dead spots. And would the company have to change its software?
No, additional base antennas do not help as long as the antenna you have is located in an open location and can see 160deg view of the sky.
Thank you for the video. Does the base station/antenna and the charging station need to be on the same spot?
No.
RTK Base antenna can be anywhere as long as the communication signal between the robot and the antenna are within range. Segway navimow is around 100mt, Luba can reach around 200mt and Husqvarna around 300-400mt. Segway is also the only robotmower tht requires the Antenna to be plugged into the charging station, so it is limited by the amount of cable you have for the antenna. Other than that the charging stations have no connectivity with the RTK Base Antennas.
If I place my RTK close to my Starlink satellite, will it disturb the signal for my RTK and vice versa?
Hi, we have had one installation that we had issues with the RTK signal dropping out. We think it was more to do with the 915mhz radio signal so that would not be affected by the starlink signals. So there is not logical reason for starlink to interfere with the Luba RTK base. But if possibe I would stillkeep them separated by 5-10mt.
My lawnmower will do its task, but falls short by about 30 inches when it tries to go to the docking station to recharge. Why would it do that?
I assume you are talking about a LUBA 1?
If it is reaching the charger but not turning around to start docking then it could be missing the channel to the dock. So try relocating the charging station in the App.
If it does turn around but does not try to dock then it is likley to do with the IR signal not working on the docking station. Try cleaning the IR sensor on both the robot and the charging station.
If it turns around and attempts to dock but fails to dock properly, then it could be dirt charging contacts or a bad power supply or a bad chargoing station board.
I hope this helps.
@@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913 No, I have the Luba 10000 that does 2.5 acres, and I’m at my place in Missouri, USA. This thing is new out of the box and the infra red sensor is probably dead. Mammotion finally got back to me after raising a little hell. They had me test the infra red sensor this morning. My guess is that it’s dead because the mower failed the test.
Im thinking about buying newer model, however, the rtk has a solar panel at the top of it. I simply dont how does it work, does it need a wire constantly conected to the electric current? What happends if there's no sun and the rtk battery runs out.
Yes Luba 2 has a solar panel coming that willcharge internal batteries and power the RTK base antenna. The battery will last around 10 days and charge in only a few hours of sun light, so hopefully there are very few occassions where someones antenna turns off.
If the antenna turns off the robot will not work.
My lawn Moore has become sentient how do I fix i ?
sentient lawn mowers would be a concern.
Why rely on RTK or GPS at all? Why not have 3 simple antennas transmitting very low frequency and use triangular coordinates. Using GPS seems like over kill and has lots of problems. In other words, we don't need our position on earth. Need our position relative to a point in your yard.
I agree with your principle however many companies have spent significant investments in similar tech and have not succeeded to get the accuracy required. iRobot launched the “Terra” back in 2019 and it failed. They then sold the tech to Ecovas and they have now launched the G1 Goat. This robot is ok for simple areas but is not able to be used on larger properties and requires almost direct line of sight with the beacons.
So at this time it seems that RTK GNSS combined with camera vision is the best option. Robots like the Luba 2 and Segway iSeries work really well to combat the issues RTK has.
Then there is all the LiDar and Slam tech that is coming. Again most companies have persisted for years to develop this tech without using RTK, but most have fallen back to using additional RTK positioning to navigate in open spaces and fall back on the LiDar in areas with no GNSS.
So as much as agree with your comment, it seems it has been incredibly difficult to achieve.
Thanks.
Music volume too loud sir
Noted..
Thanks
