Can this ROBOT replace me? (Yarbo bot vs. Husquvarna RideOn)

 

Find the product here: https://yarbointernationalinc.pxf.io/B5b3YJ  (afiliate link)

Here are a few points where a MOWBOT wins over a Ride-On mower:
- mowing steep side-slopes 
  not possible on ride-on - because of higher center of gravity (me sitting on it)
- mow-results: Yarbos cut looks way better than my rider 😉
  (maybe also because he's not as lazy as I am - and mows more often)
Rider: each 2 or 3 weeks, higher grass, more clippings...
Yarbo: doesn't matter how often (at least weekly),
Side-effect: this also disturbs moles!
- seeing YARBO on my ~1500m² I'm confident he can also handle way larger properties (like a proper RideOn mower)
- Cost comparison: (gas price quite high here compared to 2-3kwh for yarbo which is either free (solar power) or only 0.3 € / kwh)
but one point of criticism:  yarbo’s standby power consumption should be lowered (0.82 kwh / day with no mowing!) = 44 € for half a year of standby (if I only count the mowing season)

RideOn:
  is LOUDER!
  needs more MAINTENANCE
  keeps me busy, in the sun (pale rider ;)

Realsee Galois P4 - 360° HDR cam and impressive LIDAR!

Is this the new gold standard for virtual tours and digital twins? I’m putting the Realsee Galois P4 to the test - a professional-grade 360° HDR camera featuring a high-end LiDAR scanner. From 300MP panoramas to dense point clouds and automated floor plans, let's see if it lives up to the hype.

I took the unit to Castle Gloggnitz and a hidden forest chapel to test the 100m range and the processing power of the built-in nVidia Jetson Orin Nano chip.

Data connection:

  needed for NetRTK, showing current position on your APP,...

when my 4G contract on the Luba2 ran out - I wanted to just use WIFI - which was not 100% covered in my area - so positioning and display on the app is laggy - sometimes freezes. 

Fact: the Luba3 now comes standard with a 3 year 4G connection for free, Luba2 only had 1 year...

4G:  you don't need it - but it's an important backup for weak WIFI...

RTK:  if you install an antenna - you're less dependant on DATA connection.

The Moment That Sold Me on the Creality OTTER lite!

 

From desk tests to a full garage moment – see how the Creality Otter Lite 3D scanner delivers stunning results, even wirelessly! https://www.geekbuying.com/go/9xzkghQz (affiliate link!) 🛒

In this review, I put the Otter Lite through multiple real-world tests to see how good it really performs. Thanks to the WiFi bridge, scanning directly to my laptop was super fast and cable-free – the perfect combo of convenience and performance (but not all PCs have wifi! and the laptop should be fast enough!) Whether you’re into 3D printing, product design, or just love cool tech, this scanner offers pro-level results at a price that’s hard to beat.

How Good Is 3DMakerpros MOOSE? (vs Creality RAPTOR)

 

The MOOSE scanner uses blue LED flashes (not laser!) for scanning, featuring AI-powered tracking and alignment. It doesn't require tracking markers—although scanning spray is still necessary for transparent or reflective surfaces. Get your 🫎 Moose here (EU, Affiliate)  or international store Discount Code: ⭐RCS30 for 30€ off!

🔹 Positioning: Ideal as a quick tool for referencing objects in 3D design. It delivers better detail and accuracy than budget NIR-based scanners but falls short of premium laser scanners like the Creality Raptor.

🔹 Creality Raptor Comparison:
- Costs around €1100 (sale) up to €1800 retail
- Offers higher accuracy with laser tech
- Requires tracking points and a powerful GPU
- Best suited for scanning small objects

🖥️ Performance Notes:
- Works best on high-end PCs (e.g., Core i9 285K + RTX 4070Ti)
- Acceptable results even on older laptops
- First test (DolphinPro gimbal canopy) was smooth, though software sometimes stutters and loses AI tracking

🎨 Texture Mode:
- To avoid long processing times, reduce mesh complexity below 100K faces
- Excellent image quality for texture mapping

📦 What’s in the Box (luxury bundle, choose basic bundle to save money as the tripod isn't that great, the turntable not important and you can order a cheap case if you need one)
- Nice carrying case
- Power supply & long USB cable
- USB-powered turntable (no power switch)
- Mini tripod (not super stable)

Here's the main review (in case you missed it)

3DMakerPro Eagle LIDAR scanner - see the improvements

Had this LIDAR for 7 month now and have seen a lot of improvement. See the updates for both the firmware and the most recent Software. These days they have reduced the price again, with this link: https://shrsl.com/4wxfx  the Code: RSC15 for 15€ off should be applied automatically!

AtomRC DolphinPro Review, flights, chase shots

AtomRC asked me to test the DolphinPro - which was an instant "YES" for me - since I love the previous Dolphin! The new one comes with many improvments - here you see all the details - and I took my time to properly testfly it, give you some INAV insights, mods, and STL files.

SPECS / INFO:
Wingspan: 800mm
Length: 862mm
WingArea: 16.96d㎡
Material: EPP
Motor recommend: 2807 1100KV
ESC: ≥6S 50A BEC
Propeller: 8040-2

WEIGHT:  959g (all except battery)

FLIGHTTIME: 21 min cruising around = 2110 mah (2x 1300mah 6S Lipos)
  so 15-20 mins on 2600mah 6S
  ~25-35 mins on a 5000mah 6S LiIon

BATTERY OPTIONS
2x 1300mah 6S Lipo - far back
1x 1300mah 6S Lipo - all the way fwd
1x 5000mah 6S LiIon pack

GPS altough it's just an BN220 and not a modern M10 - acquisation was quick and sats were plenty

Wingspan a bit shorter than old one, denser foam (at least the grey version),
VTails larger, further in the back,
VTail + Ailerons - plenty options! (spoilerons for landing?, Speedbrake?)
Wingfences - instead of downward facing wingtips (which broke easily)
Control rods "beefier" not the bendy wires
LEDs installed
Nose: different options, magnets + screws - no glue needed
Wire channel below battery for nice Video cable install!

TIPS:
SECURE the LIDs (front one comes with a screw - use it!)
Back LID flew away in a highspeed test (140kph)
Use this "AtomRC Canopy locking arm (verschluss nupsi).stl" and a little bowden tube glued into fuselage with a screw.
I use INAV:  7.1.1 (at the moment)
To have correct MAH readings in your OSD (if you use their AtomRC FC) you can set this SCALE (I've calibrated it and it looks accurate now):
set current_meter_scale = 170

Autolaunch settings:
set nav_fw_launch_max_angle = 90
set nav_fw_launch_motor_delay = 200
set nav_fw_launch_climb_angle = 18
set nav_fw_launch_timeout = 10000
set nav_fw_launch_max_altitude = 0
set nav_fw_launch_thr = 1750
set nav_fw_launch_idle_thr = 1300
