What Would Cause Yarbo to Lose GPS Signals?

Maintaining a stable GPS signal is essential for Yarbo to function efficiently. While Yarbo’s advanced system ensures smooth operation, several factors can affect its GPS performance. This guide covers common causes of GPS signal loss and how to troubleshoot them effectively.

GPS Icon Colors and Their Meanings

  • Green Icon: GPS is online and connected – Yarbo is functioning properly.
  • Yellow Icon: Medium GPS signal – Yarbo is still operational, but performance may be affected.
  • Red/Gray Icon: No GPS signal – Yarbo cannot receive a GPS signal and will not operate correctly.

Common Causes and Troubleshooting Solutions

1. No Internet Connection for Data Center and Yarbo Rover

Cause: The Data Center and Yarbo rover need internet connectivity for reliable GPS operation.
Solution:
  • Check the network settings for both the Data Center and Yarbo rover.
  • If the problem persists, contact Yarbo Support for further assistance.

2. Satellite Signals Blocked by Obstructions

Cause: Objects like buildings, trees, or other obstacles can block satellite signals from reaching the Data Center and Yarbo rover antennas.
Solution:
  • Move the Data Center or reposition the antenna to an area with a clearer view of the sky.
  • Swap the antennas on the left and right sides of the Yarbo rover to optimize signal reception.
  • If the issue continues, **contact Yarbo Support**.

3. Loose Connections at the Data Center

Cause: The connections between cables and the Data Center may not be secure.
Solution:
  • Check all cables and ensure the connections to the Data Center are tight and secure.
  • If the issue remains unresolved, contact Yarbo Support for further guidance.

4. Technical Issue with the Data Center

Cause: An internal issue or error may occur in the Data Center.
Solution:
  • Check the indicator lights on the Data Center for any error messages.
  • If the indicator is **flashing rapidly in red**, contact Yarbo Support immediately for assistance.

5. Components Malfunction in the Yarbo Device

Cause: Internal components of Yarbo may not be functioning properly, disrupting GPS signals.
Solution:
  • Inspect all connections and cables between Yarbo and the Data Center to ensure they are undamaged and properly connected.
  • Reset Yarbo and reconfigure default settings if necessary.
  • If the issue persists, contact Yarbo Support for further help.

6. Incorrect Adjust Angle on the Diagnosis Page

Cause: The diagnosis page displays an incorrect angle value (e.g., -1 or something other than 1), indicating a calibration issue.
Solution:
  • Drive Yarbo to an open area for 3–5 minutes to recalibrate the system.
  • Reset the “mode base” process through the app to ensure proper operation.
  • Contact Yarbo Support if the problem remains unresolved.
