Area settings: how each zone is worked

Every work area carries its own settings, and a different set for each attachment. Yardstick edits them from the map editor, so you can tune a zone without walking out to the robot.

These are Yarbo’s settings, shown here Yardstick reads and writes the same values the Yarbo app does. Nothing here is a Yardstick invention, and a change made here shows up in the app.

Where it lives

Open the map editor, click a work area to select it, then press Settings in the toolbar.

The Area settings dialog for a work area, showing a module switcher for Mower, Snow Blower, Leaf Blower and SAM, and settings for speed, path spacing, route pattern, turning mode and edge behavior.
Area settings. The module row at the top decides which attachment’s settings you are editing.

Pick the attachment first

Each area holds a separate set of settings for the mower, the snow blower, the leaf blower and SAM. The dot marks the one attached right now. Change the module and you are editing a different set of numbers, so check the row at the top before you start.

What you can set

A backup is taken before it saves Applying settings takes a map backup first, every time, so a change you regret is one restore away. Nothing reaches the robot until you press Apply settings.

These travel with a map backup

Area settings are not stored in the map file you can see, but they do come back when you restore a map backup. Restore a snapshot from before a change and the settings return with it.
