Hi there! I understand that your YEEDI robot vacuum is wandering around in circles, is that right? Before we dive into fixes, could you tell me a bit more? For example:
- Does it start spinning in circles right after leaving the dock, or after it starts cleaning? - Have you noticed any error messages or unusual noises? - Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far?
This info will help me tailor the solution perfectly for you. Meanwhile, I can suggest some common causes for this behavior and how to check them:
1. Check the wheels and wheel sensors: Sometimes the drive wheels can get stuck or their sensors malfunction, causing the vacuum to spin in place. Try turning the vacuum upside down and inspect the wheels for debris or damage. Also, gently rotate each wheel to see if it moves smoothly. Cleaning or freeing stuck wheels often solves this.
2. Clean the bumpers and sensors: The vacuum relies on bumpers and sensors to navigate. If any sensors around the wheels or bumper area are dirty or blocked, it can confuse the navigation system. Wipe these areas gently with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth.
3. Reset the vacuum’s navigation system: Some robots allow recalibration by resetting or performing a remap. You can try turning the vacuum off, waiting a minute, then turning it back on. Also, check the YEEDI app for any calibration or remapping options.
4. Firmware and app update: Ensure your YEEDI app on your Mac (running OS X 10.15.7) and the robot’s firmware are up to date. Outdated software can cause navigation bugs.
If you’ve tried some or all of this already, please let me know, and we can go deeper. I’m here to help you get your robot running smoothly again!
