I have a Husqvarna 310 and have created a passage only 60cm wide and 30meters long. I am so annoyed there is not a setting to stop it cutting randomly in the passage. I have tried making a hinderance with the boundary wire at the start and end of the passage with mixed success.
not on the model I have. You can only attach one wire to the guide wire terminal on the base stations. For models which have more than one guide wire terminal, one per terminal, and each sends out a unique signal so they can be recognised. The mower will follow the one it finds first.
I was hoping to see the answer to this question: What are your settings for corridor/entry/exit angle and how are the boundary/guide wires spaced apart? I have a corridor I am trying to get my mower through, and it keeps trying to turn around in the middle and gets jammed. I also have a very narrow corridor and my 310 gets jammed. Also, How does the mower know the start of the corridor and the end so it can start mowing secondary area?
keep a minimum of 24in from one boundary wire to the other keep a minimum of 12in from the guide to any boundary wire. Disable GPS, this enables dispatching to areas. Calculate the square footage (or meters) of each area Calculate what % of the total is in each area. Set the corridor width for the guide to 0 (I later tried 1, but start with 0) Set Drive past wire to the minimum (25cm on mine) Use the manual to figure out the distance to the spot in each area you want to start mowing at (“How to measure the distance to a remote area”) Dispatch to the areas using the guide wire Return to the station using the guide wire (it’s not the default, delay the other choices). This should get you started. Note that the mower doesn’t actually discover the narrow passage, despite what you might think. It will almost always successfully use the guide wire when leaving or returning to the station. Because it doesn’t actually know where the narrow passages are, two things will happen. It will mow in the narrow passage if it randomly enters the passage (my sidewalk, LOL) During it’s random cutting it will sometimes find the narrow passage and it will try to continue to try to randomly change directions while trying to cut in the passage. It usually finds it’s own way out, randomly, but if I notice, I stop it and drag it out of the passage. I’d provide more info but my mower is in need of a new battery. (my fault) That’s all I recall at the moment. The exit angles and distances are not related to narrow corridors, unless you have the base station in a narrow corridor. That is not recommended however.

@@prying_minds Appreciate the response. So when you say 24 in between boundary wires, you mean from one to the other and not to the guidewire in the middle? If so, I think I can make that work for my corridor. I'll give this a shot!

Can you have multiple guide wires to the station? How would the automower know which guide wire to choose?

ah, sorry, not sure why my comments are gone. possibly due to the renaming of my channel...

If possible, test your layout with wires on the surface before burying them.
Nice video!
Thanks!

@@prying_minds Really appreciate all the replies. Will do some testing this weekend.
@@espen2729 did u get it working?
@@prying_minds It got better but it still gets stuck sometimes. I guess I'll live with it.
