2 - MAIN PAGE

In the main page you can have an overview of the operational status of the robot by looking at the color of the banner surrounding the robot serial number (in IMAGE 2 being grey):

  • GREY - the robot is offline
  • BLUE - the robot is idle (turned ON, but no autonomous operation ongoing)
  • RED - the robot is stopped on an alarm/event which must be manually reset
  • GREEN - the robot is currently doing an autonomous operation (seeding or weeding)

 

When you look at the field, you can see there are lines of different colours:

  • The orange line is the field contour
  • The purple lines are the headlands
  • The blue lines are the passes

IMAGE 2 Dashed lines means the robot hasn't operated yet in that space, while solid lines means the robot has completed the operation in that specific space.

Clicking on "Live mode" you will be able to read data in real time, while you can also start or stop the robot by pressing the button to the right "Droid is Off/On". Please note that you must reset any alarms or notification messages on the robot before being able to start the robot remotely (for example the notification "field completed" has to be reset manually from the robot HMI).

IMAGE 3 By clicking on the sprocket icon, in the bottom right corner of the field view, you are able to show/hide the passes and headlands numbers, as well as the background of the map (white or satellite view).

IMAGE 4 Scrolling down, you will be able to see the most important information about the robot operation, such as hitch %, battery voltage, estimated time to finish.

Scrolling down the page (IMAGE 9) you can also enable or disable specific passes or headlands:

  1. Expand either the "Passes" or "Headlands" sub-menu and enable or disable the lines in groups of 10 (IMAGE 9) or individually (IMAGE 10).
  2. Once you disable specific passes or headlands, they become grey in the map (IMAGE 11)
