Running more than one Yarbo
Have a second Yarbo, or a whole fleet? Yardstick handles as many cores as you run, all from one install. One computer, one subscription, unlimited robots / cores. Nothing extra to buy and nothing extra to configure.
One install covers the whole fleet
You do not run a second copy of Yardstick for a second robot, and you do not pay again. A single install and a single subscription cover unlimited robots / cores. You just point Yardstick at each core, give it a name, and you can see it alongside the others. Each robot has its own map and recording history.
The one requirement: every core must be on the Yarbo account you signed in with. Yardstick lists what the account lists. A robot sitting on its dock may be silent, which shows as Waiting rather than a missing robot.
Adding another core
You added your first robot when you set Yardstick up. Adding the next one is the same short path. Open Settings → Your Yarbo and follow these steps.
Press Find another robot
In the Your Yarbo panel, click Find another robot. This starts adding a core alongside the ones you already have. Your existing robots stay exactly as they are.
Pick it from your account
Every machine on your Yarbo account is listed. Choose the one you are adding. If you have just added it in the Yarbo app, press Check my Yarbo account first so it appears.
Give it a name
Once the core is found, rename it to something you will recognize, like Front yard or Snow rig. Clear names make every list, map, and alert easier to read when you have more than one robot.
Managing your list of cores
Every core you have added shows up in a list on the Your Yarbo panel. From there you can keep it tidy:
- Rename any core so your robots are easy to tell apart at a glance.
- Remove a core you no longer run with Remove this core.... Before it removes anything, Yardstick shows you the recorded footprint that core has built up, so you can see exactly what is about to go.
How a fleet behaves
This is the part that needs no work. Once your cores are added, the whole app already understands all of them. There is nothing extra to switch on per robot.
Added a core and it is not showing up? Open a support ticket and tell us which Yarbo account the core is on, and what the panel said. Because Yardstick runs on your own machine, we can usually point you to the exact setting.
