How to RESET your LawnBott

I'm happy to report an even better way to power your LawnBott down before working on it - remove the 20/30 Amp fuse on the side of the motherboard!

We recently learned that removing this fuse powers **everything** down.  Think of it as an on-off switch or a "reset" button.

Is your robot acting strangely in a way you haven't seen before?  Sometimes we recommend a reset.  Removing the fuse is the easiest way to reset your robot and far less risky than removing the battery connector(s).

Lawnbott / Re: 3500 keeps restarting...

« Last post by RobotLady on August 09, 2016, 10:39:03 AM »

Interesting...  I have not heard of that particular error before.

Help me understand - you said LB3500, do you mean the original LB3500 sold in 2009 or do you actually have an LB3510 or LB3510 Brushless?

Nevertheless, since the issue happens near the border most of the time, it could be a hint that the problem is a signal issue.  Send your email address to info@paradiserobotics.com and I will email you our signal troubleshooting guide.

Lawnbott / 3500 keeps restarting...

« Last post by rondoguy on July 26, 2016, 11:54:20 AM »

My 3500 has developed a strange behavior.  While mowing, it will turn off and display the message "restarting in # seconds."  After restarting, it will mow for a little (Maybe 5 minutes) then repeat the restarting behavior.  It usually happens when the mower is backing away from the border.  I've also noticed that on a couple occasions it has spun itself outside of the wire border on flat/level sections of the lawn. 

Any troubleshooting ideas or fixes are very much appreciated.

Lawnbott / Unplug Only the Black Wire

« Last post by RobotLady on May 19, 2016, 06:59:08 PM »

Robot Mower & LawnBott Owners,

Are you concerned about working on your robot yourself?  That is, are you afraid you may create a bigger issue while just trying to fix some small problem?

It is a legitimate concern.  Here's one way to prevent bigger problems from occurring.  Unplug only the black battery wire prior to removing any circuit boards or cables.

Why?  Well, then you won't mix up the red and black wires when plugging them back in!

Plugging the wires in backwards will likely cause the need to replace **every** circuit board in your robot.  Thankfully, we have never received a report of this happening to any of our customers.  Maybe our advice about unplugging only the black wire has been sinking in.  We can only hope so!

Thank you for reading this; we hope you will visit our web site soon!  http://www.paradiserobotics.com

Lawnbott / Re: 3500/10 Motherboard, which pin is positive and negative?

Good news!  It's very annoying that it is not labeled.  Glad you figured it out!

I don't know why I didn't try my multimeter, so I did and found the correct polarity.  She's running great now!

Lawnbott / 3500/10 Motherboard, which pin is positive and negative?

« Last post by AekaGSR on April 03, 2016, 12:46:17 PM »

I was having issues witch charging, it turns out that the terminals were not seated well in their connector to the motherboard.   I decided to pull the connector out to investigate when the terminals themselves pulled out from the connector.   Unfortunately the motherboard is not labeled as to which pin is positive or negative.    Which pin on the board is positive and which is negative?

This is a LB3500/3510 motherboard.

In another post, Whitey reported the issue was caused by a loose wire on the charging plate.  Good to know!
