Error codes and trouble spots

Yarbo reports faults as numbers and clears them without telling you much. Yardstick writes every one down with a timestamp, so when you contact Yarbo support you can say exactly what happened and when.

What the codes mean Yarbo does not publish what its fault numbers mean, so Yardstick does not guess at one. What it gives you is the code, the date, how long it lasted and whether the robot said it cleared. Quote those to Yarbo support.

Where it lives

On the home page, below the map.

The Error codes panel: a sortable table of faults with the date, what reported it, the numeric code, how long it lasted and whether it cleared.

Reading it

Why some faults never show up here

Some fault codes clear themselves in a second or two, dozens of times a month, on a property where it never amounts to anything. By default, anything that cleared on its own inside 30 seconds is left off this list entirely — not dimmed, not collapsed, simply not worth a row in a list meant to answer "what went wrong".

Nothing unresolved is ever hidden this way The 30-second rule only ever applies to a fault the robot has explicitly said cleared. Anything still open — no clear reported yet — is always shown here, no matter how briefly it has been going on so far. This is a filter on confirmed noise, not a delay on real problems.

Want to see everything, including the shortest blips, or set your own cutoff? Settings → Advanced → Shortest fault worth reporting. Set it to 0 to see every fault ever recorded, however short.

Trouble spots

Faults tell you what went wrong. Trouble spots tell you where. Yardstick marks the places your robot repeatedly gets stuck or struggles, so you can go and look at the actual patch of grass.

The Trouble spots panel with a map showing marked locations where the robot has repeatedly had problems, numbered and listed below.
Trouble spots. Each marker is somewhere it has had repeated problems. The numbers match the list.
What to do with one A trouble spot is usually a physical thing: a root, a dip that holds water, a gate post it clips. Once you know where it is, the fix is often a small no-go zone drawn around it in the map editor.

When you write to Yarbo

Give them the code, the date and time, how long it lasted, and your firmware versions. All of that is on this page or in your diagnostics report, and it turns “it keeps stopping” into something they can act on.
